GIRL MOTHER,17, HELD IN BABY'S DEATH Washington News NOW ONLY 5C Dr. Flexner offered his resignation some time ago, but as it was not acted on he did not press it and he remained. At the recent meeting of the board in New York Dr. Flexner left the meeting when certain groups of the trustees attempted to show that the Johnson administration had been the cause of large waste on funds. On the other hand the Johnson adherents claim that the delay which cost the library appropriation was due to the building committee and Albert I. Cassell, architect, whose commission on recent burdens is said to have totalled some $39,000 during the past three or four years. Just what the outcome of the situation will be is not known. Dr. Johnson was out of the city this week and could not be reached. Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department has been privately quoted as saying that if the colored people in charge of Howard University could not demonstrate an ability to run it peacefully, it might be necessary to send a white man to head the institution. Running through the tangled maze of the affairs at Howard, the finest equipped Negro university in the world, is a maze of lines leading in the direction of personal ambitions, building contracts, and political animosities. VICKSEURG, Miss. (ANP)— An unidentified Negro was shot and killed here in a hand to hand encounter with Henry Berger, white, lunched stand propeller. He was told the man sought to rob him. VOL. XIV. No. 43 BABY DEATH HOLDS GIRL- MOTHER, 17 Youthful Parents In Custody for Abandonment Of $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ Hour Infant The finding of a baby girl, just two-and-a-half hours old, abandoned in the doorway of a house in the 200 block Morgan Street, Northwest, opened the door, early this week, to one of the most pathetic dramas in the history of the local police department. The infant, apparently at birth, died at Gallinger Hospital five days after its discovery. Its 17-year-old mother, Mrs. Dorothy Dade, is being held at the same hospital under observation. Its father, Richard Dade, is under arrest at the Second Precinct Station. The hair, giving their address as 1312 Ninth Street, Northwest, were taken into custody by Detective D. D. Pitbitan and Policewoman Marie Schank According to police the investigation which followed the find of the baby resulted in the arrest and questioning of the youthful mother. She told the officers that she was married at the age of 15. Various reasons were given, police state, for the abandonment of the infant, but none of them satisfied her questioners. They immediately placed her in the care of Gallinger Hospital physicians for observation. Although there is no question as to the girl-mother's sanity, policewomen hold, they believe there may be a trace of feeble-mindedness or neuropsis. No charge has been placed against either the mother or the father as police are awaiting the advice of medical authorities in charge of the examination.

Eyes of Two Continents Focused On Italo-Ethiopian Trouble African Monarchy, Embroiled in Difficulty With Mussolini, Stands Ready to Fight; Hostile Attitude is of Long Standing (By the Associated Negro Press) Once again, following the behaviour pattern that is centuries old, Italty is sending its mothers' sons into Africa for war. Once again, there recurs the eternal conflict between northern Africa and southern Europe. In the days of Rome's greatest glory, Roman heroes were mad on African soil. It was in response to the challenge of Rome that the greatest of all African warriors Hannibal, led his Carthaginian legions into Europe and across the Alps. For two centuries the Afr History discloses that when Romulus and Remus were yet young and Rome was but a piny shadow in the sun that was, Athens, the swarthy European on one side of the Mediterranean and swarthier neighbor on the other side were choosing each other for mortal combat. But even before recorded history the rocks and caves of southern and central Europe show that the Africans had overrun all of what is now Italy and of what was then Gaul, the present-day France. In the days of Rome's greatest glory, Roman heroes were made on African soil. It was in response to the challenge of Rome that the greatest of all African warriors, Hannibal, led his Carthaginian legions into Europe and across the Alps. For two centuries the African kingdom or Carthage was a menace to Rome and its destruction, the object of the so-called Punic wars. "Carthage must be destroyed!" intonat d the implacable Cato at Rome. Now, centuries later a new Cato called Mussolini, fires the Italian zeal, with a new African Kingdom Ethiopia, as the object of his wrath. Caesar would a-baiting go.

CARTER Approval of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill by the Senate judiciary sub-committee was predicted, Thursday, following sharp denunciation of the Lynching crime and pleas for early passage of a Federal measure against the evil by Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Charles H. Houston, dean of Howard University Law School, and attorney for the N.A.A.C.P., and seven others including H. L. Meneken, Baltimore writer, Senators Costigan (Democrat of Colorado) and Robert Wagner (Democrat of New York), co-authors of the bill. Witnesses Heard Rewritten and reintroduced this year after Congress's failure to pass it last session, the bill prescribes severe penalties for lynchers, officers who conspire with mobs or fail to protect prisoners from riotous assemblages, and counties where such lawlessness occurs. Of the nine witnesses to appear at the three-hour hearing not one voiced opposition to the measure and Chairman Van Nuy (Democrat of Indiana) intimated that the measure would probably be recommended to the full commitment with only slight changes in phraseology. Declaring that failure to pass the measure was an indication that Congress has not felt public emergency existed to legislate an anti- (Continued on page 2) "Y" EMPLOYE DIES IN LEAP OUT WINDOW Fully Clad, Woman Jumps Three Stories to Death in Dark Fully clad, Mrs. Jennie Thomas, 55-year-old widow, fell from a third story window of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Building, Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, early Saturday morning. She died at Emergency Hospital two hours later.

Bill to Create a Negro Industrial Commission Introduced in House ELK LODGE REFUSES TO RECONSIDER Columbia Again Votes to Refrain From Assuming Responsibility Columbia Lodge of Elks refused to rescind its action taken several weeks ago when it voted to refuse to have anything to do with the financial entertainment of the grand lodge session which is scheduled to be held here next August. The lodge met Monday evening at its home on Rhode Island Avenue and although there were some who thought the lodge should reconsider, the majority voted to uphold its former action, according to a statement by C. A. Cornish, publicity director of the lodge. 2 Dances Same Night Another snag that looks like it might create some confusion in local Ek circles was when Columbia announced that it would present a complimentary dance on March 1. This is the same evening that the new National Capital City Lodge will give its inaugural ball. Officers of the Columbia Lodge stated that they had the March 1 date in mind several months ago and only within the last few days did they learn that the new lodge had scheduled its dance for the same night. The National Capital City Lodge officers also stated that they had selected the date sometime in advance and were unaware (Continued on page 2) WIFE WOULD QUIT "WILD" HUSBAND Mrs. Eliza Johnson Sues Hubby Who Couldn't Keep Promise Incessant drinking, cruelly desertion and suspected misconduct art the basis of a suit for limited divorce filed by Mrs. Eliza G. Johnson, 1101 First Street, Northwest, against her husband, Granville Johnson, 229 Parker Street, Northeast, late last week. Mrs. Johnson described the last 14 years of the 19-year marriage as unbearable and through her attorney, Perry W. Howard requested the court to award her separate life and maintenance. Five Years of Bliss The plaintiff wife asserts that after their marriage in March, 1916, she and her husband enjoyed five years of marital bliss. At the end of this period, however, Mr. Johnson became involved with an element with which she did not associate. The alienation of his affection grew in proportion she holds until finally it reached a stage where her husband spent equally as much time if not more with these other men and women than he did at his home. She declares that he frequently stayed away from home until late at night and early hours of the morning, and on some occasions did not return home at all. Had to Leave Him When he did, Mrs. Johnson averys, he was invariably in an intoxicated condition. This "carousing, drinking and riotous living" continued until she was compelled to leave him in order to retain her own peace of mind. Following this separation, Mrs. Johnson declares, she was importuned by both his friends and him to return. This she did on his promise to do better and mend his ways of living. Shortly after the reconciliation, though, Mrs. Johnson stated, her husband renewed his old life and his treatment of her. She bore it, however, until last Tuesday when he deserted her, taking with him his personal belongings and property of the household as well. Mrs. Johnson declares that they have no children but that she is barely able to provide herself with the necessities or life on the meagre $3.50 weekly salary she earns as a general housekeeper. The defendant is said to receive a wage of $20 weekly as an employee of a downtown paint store. Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, Chicago Democrat, last week introduced a measure for the creation of an Industrial Commission on Negro Affairs, to be composed of five members, which has already been popularly dubbed "the watch dog bill." If the measure should become law, Negro citizens would have at Washington, for the first time since emancipation, a group clothed with official authority whose duty it would be to investigate and give judgment upon every important matter affecting the status of colored citizens. Favorable comment on the measure has been given by Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee institute; Dr. R. R. Wright, president of Wilberforce University; Ligon A. Wilson, principal of Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute; C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company; P. B. Young, publisher, of Norfolk Va. Journal and Guide. A rough draft of the measure was submitted to each of these men. The Commission would consist of five members at salaries of $5,000 a year. Their appointment is to be non-political in character, and they are to be appointed for six-year terms, except in the case of the first five members, who are to be appointed for terms ranging from two years to six. The chairman of the commission would receive $7,500 a year. Section Four of the bill, describing the duties of the Commission, states: To Study Labor Problems ****shall be to study the economic conditions of the Negro; to study the labor problems in which the Negro is fundamentally interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes of this country; to promote the general welfare of the Negro in industrial pursuits, and to encourage his general uplift; to work (Continued on page 2) F. MORRIS MURRAY WITHDRAWS FROM TRIBUNE DESK The temporary retirement of F. Morris Murray, for many years president of the Washington Tribune Publishing Company and more recently general manager of the combined Tribune and Murray Brothers Printing Company firms, was announced last week.

Confinement to bed was not occasioned, largely because of his refusal to yield to his feelings HAMILTON DIVORCE SUIT IS DISMISSED A suit for separate maintenance against Rufus H.

STATE MAKES READY FOR 8th CAGE TOURNEY Old Dominion High Schools to Vie for Honors March 8,9 (By Special Carrespondent) PETERSBURG, Va.—Plans for the Eighth Annual Inter-Scholastic Basketball Tournament to be held at Virginia State College, March 8 and 9 inclusive are moving steadily toward perfection, as the Department of Physical Education, the College Varsity Club, and the Women's Athletic Association, under whose direction the meet is annually conducted, bend every effort to make this year's event superior to all others on record in every respect. Responses to invitations to enter the meet already received indicate that the number of schools participating in the tournament will be greater than ever before. Season's records of several of the teams entered, such as Dunbar of Lynchburg, Addison Hi, of Roanoke, B. T. Washington of South Boston, and Phenix of Hampton, serve notice that the contest for the State championship will be much closer than usual. The influence of the tournament is far-reaching as shown by the testimony of two officials who have handled the games for the last six years and have seen the meet develop. Westmoreland Praises Work E. P. Westmoreland, director of recreational activities in the Washington Public School System, has the following to say about the event. "The annual all-state basketball tournament, fostered over a seven-year period by the authorities of State College, have been the dominating factor in the development of basketball in the Negro high schools of Virginia. The influences of this sport are now affecting the recreational activities of community life in all sections of the state. "The authorities of State College are to be congratulated on their liberal attitude in creating ideal conditions for the conduct of these annual tournaments. An appreciation of the opportunity of visiting State College, playing in one of the finest gymnasiums in the C.I.A.A., and enjoying countless other worthwhile experiences of college life, will be shown in a more concrete way, as these high school students carry back to their respective communities the refinement from such experience to be shared by all. E. P. Westmoreland." State Serves Purpose Samuel H. Lacy, Washington Tribune Sports Editor, comments concerning the tournament in these words: "The social and athletic life in Virginia is farther advanced than in any other state in this section of the country. The Virginia State College at Petersburg is probably more directly responsible for this condition than any other single agency in the state. "As sponsor of the annual scholastic basketball tournament Virginia State College serves as the medium through which individuals interested in the development of cultural standards in approximately thirty high schools are brought together yearly. "The cordiality with which guests are received, the thoroughness of manner in which the tournament is handled—as an athletic competition and as an institution for the teaching of good-fellowship—are influences that solicit favorable responses from the character of those who meet here. "When in the days to come, Virginia is able to boast of a race educated in the correct use of recreational opportunities and facilities, as well as a group devoid of petty feaistics and narrowness, the finger of responsibility will be pointed at Virginia State College." Samuel H. Lacy. Athletic directors of high schools desiring to enter the tournament should write J. D. Barnes, Virginia State College, Ettrick, Virginia, immediately. February 23 is the dead-line for entries.

Davis, acting head of the Physical Education Department at Howard at a recent EBO meeting, Duck Gibson, Baltimore official, broke the first one by reporting 15 minutes late for the Howard-Morgan court tilt in Washington Saturday...until that time Sam Lacy, co-official, handled the game alone...Gibson's initial act was to call a foul on Freck Honesty, Bison forward. This is not a Duck Gibson column but here's another one on that Baltimore referee... about midway the second half, Gibson strode nonchalantly over to the "press table" to inquire about the "official score"... and expressed surprise when informed that the official table was on the other side of the floor... *** The final chapters in local collegiate and scholastic basketball will be written within a few days but not until perhaps the best of the court action of the season is witnessed...action and action aplenty is promised as the keynote as Howard tackles A. and T.

Armstrong High School's championship basketball team may represent the District at the annual Tuskegee court tournament...if plans to raise $300 expense money now going on at the P Street institution are successful... the Techmen, winners of both the District and South Atlantic High School Conference diadems, have a formidable outfit and would do well against Southern competition...

Wildcats Claw Panthers in Unbalanced Tilt MARSHALL, Texas.—The Prairie View Panthers leapt all the way from home to encounter with the Wiley Wildcats tonight in a fast but somewhat un-balanced game. Both teams entered the fray with all the cunningness of cage vets and from the outset the fur did fly! Once the Cats had taken their 10-point lead on the fighting visitors they kept it and was the crowd wild! They continued ahead to finish winners by 58-34. Wiley Again Winner MARSHALL, Texas.—The first half of Saturday's game was a real exhibition of two teams playing the same brand of basketball. The scores at the end of the half were 12-6 in the Cats' favor. When the teams came back the tale changed. The Cats came back an entirely new spirted dive and from the start made the P. others look sick. The game ended with the one-sided score of 52-19. OBJECTS TO USE OF 4 NEGROES ON CAGE TEAM Iowa High School Principal Says 2 Sufficient; 4 Too Many CLARINDA Iowa (ANP)—"At least a majority of the players used at any time must be white," says a clause in a basketball contract drawn up by Shenandoah high to Clarinda high. No, this school is not in Georgia or Mississippi; but in the good tall corn state of Iowa. Clarinda, one of the finalists in the state tournament at Cedar Falls last winter, had Negro players in its lineup throughout the 1934 season. Bobby Franklin, forward and Leroy Baker, guard, played nearly every game, and school authorities say that no team has ever before filed objections to their playing in the lineup. "... That Broke Camel's Back" The question of the personnel of the Clarinda quintet has been under discussion for several weeks. Last year Clarinda administered a 34 to 9 grubbing to Shenandoah, which went against the country folks' grain. At one stage of the game four Negroes were used in the line-up. "Our people felt that Clarina with a huge lead, was rubbing it in," McKee explained. "We did not object to the two Negro regulars, but we thought that it wasn't necessary for Clarinda to use four Negroes to trim our boys." Coach R. P. Barrows of Clarina, states that he will have the strongest combination on the floor at all times, white or black. Shenandoah officials say that one or two Negroes "isn't so bad" but more than that on one team is more than we can take."

Kappas NEW YORK.—The passing of two months finds the greatly improved New York Kappa quintet and the strong Washingtin Alpha combination returning to the hardwood wars at the Rockland Palace Saturday, March 2.. The hope of a Kappa victory and revenge for the 29-28 humiliation suffered on Christmas night, plus the last chance to see the fast Alphas before they clash with Lincoln University in their feature game, is expected to bring the largest crowd of the current basketball season to Rockland Palace. The Alpha combination has been strengthened by the addition of Larry Bleach, former Textile High and Detroit University star. A recent Kappa shift finds Merle Work, a keen-eyed marksman, returning to the first string combination in an effort to develop more scoring power. Vipers Take Measure of Mohawks at G.-P.

Both of the children are "finds" of the season. SIX THOUSAND HEAR JARBORO IN AIDA NEW YORK (ANP)—Repeating her triumph of last year Caterina Jarboro sang the title role of "Aida" at the first performance of this season given by the Chicago Opera Company at the Hippodrome Sunday. It seemed remarkable to an observer to sit in a theatre in America and watch the white actors and singers on the stage working so freely—so cordially with this buxom brown lass. All of the other principals were white. Even the Ethiopian father of "Aida," played by a gorgeous bass was a white man made up to a brown deeper even than Jarboro's. At the point where the father, Amonasro caresses his daughter Aida and seeks to console her for the loss of her lover Badames, who has been given in troth to the Egyptian girl Amneris, the father caressed and stroked her as sincerely and with more freedom, than one would have imagined possible in America. Jarbore Dominates Performance. The Egyptians kept their skins white. There was, it would have seemed, an opportunity for the employment of some twenty other Negro singers in this particular opera. They did use about twenty Negro men as slaves and captives. Also part of the props were a real camel and elephant brought onto the stage as part of the spoils wrung from Ethiopia. These two received an ovation. Jarbore dominated the evening and her voice was in rare form. Among those noted in the audience and about the lobby, were Dean Lucy Slowe of Howard University; Mrs. Esther Popel Shaw and Miss Mary Burrill, of Washington; Hon. Coyotano de Quesada, consol for Cuba in New York, Signor Pastor Argudin, a Cuban Negro artist; Mrs. Clara B. Bruce, Mrs. Harriett Johdan, Howard Jordan, Miss Stella Nathon, Mrs Ruth A. Martin, Jerome Davis Miss Etta Moten, Mrs. Frank Bolt Charles Bothom, Edward Perry L. S. Gonzales and Arthur Schomburg. Jarboro tc Tour West Miss Jarbore is completing plans for a tour of the West. She will go to California and en route will include many cities in the Western states. Her first engagement will be in Pennsylvania.

"Romance of Manhattan," the screen attraction at the Lincoln for the coming week beginning Friday, is that one. Some critics say that in it the dashing Continental matinee idol surpasses even his work in "The Pursuit of Happiness," the elevator which really hoisted him to cinema fame. The story is wound around a youthful couple which, despite numerous setbacks and eternal problems, persists in facing a heartless world with sunny optimism. And to prove that the play is "tops" in versatility we find the name of light-hearted, happy-go-lucky Ginger Rogers cast opposite Lederer. Rogers and Lederer pair up in a vivid, human theme that carries as its central point a delightful romance which blossoms despite tremendous odds. "Romance of Manhattan" will doubtlessly appeal to all ages and castes. A great story with a great leading team. "GREEN PASTURES" AT FLORIDA COLLEGE TALLAHASSEE, Fla., (ANP)—Richard B. Harrison, "De Lawd" of Green Pastures accepted the invitation of President J. R. E. Lee of the Florida A. & M College and lectured to the student body and visiting friends of the institution who composed part of the capacity audience of 1900 who saw the 1640th performance of the Green Pastures Saturday evening. nouncement supervisor Lichtman Theatres STAGE and SCREEN A And who wouldn't tell the world if Sylvia Sidney was the mate in question? The Republic Theatre's screen offering for the coming week answers this question. :-Booker T.-:- In an effort $t_0$ appease the thousands of people who were turned away from the Broadway Theatre during the showing of "Imitation of Life," Rufus G. Byars, general supervisor of the Lightman Theatres announced late last week that the photoplay will be returned to U Street for a "positively final" showing. The little Booker T Theatre was nominated for the third showing of the new famous Carl Laemmle production which co-stars Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers. Demands for a return engagement on U Street have been so great, Mr. Byars declared in his announcement, that they simply could not go unheeded. "Imitation of Life" has to do with a colored mother and a white mother who climb to fame by cooperative effort. The former is victimized by a sad fate which made her daughter a mullato. The daughter, played by Fredi Washington, sacrifices the happiness of all concerned and finally the life of her mother by her determination to "pass." A great human-interest story with a sterling cast. "Imitation of Life" has been nationally acclaimed as one of the leading productions of 1934. Warren William occupies the other leading role. The much-talked-of, new Paramount picture, "Behold My Wife", starring Sylvia Sidney and itiian-haired Gene Raymond, will be the principal screen offering at the Republic Theatre for one week, beginning tomorrow (Friday). "Behold My Wife" is set in colorful New Mexico and finds Miss Sidney cast as a beautiful, full-blooded Indian girl. From that locale the set is moved to the other extreme-urbane, snobby New York. The story is concerned with a New Yorker's determination to revenge himself on his sophisticated family. Driven to the life of a roamer when his family's medding into his affairs become unbearable for him and forces his sweetheart to suicide. Raymond wanders to New Mexico where he is wounded and nursed back to health by Miss Sidney who falls in love with him. Discovering this he prevails upon her to marry him and return with him to New York where he could visualize the horror of his ultra-aristocratic family. How his plans go awry and unforeseen developments take place makes the story most entertaining. "Behold My Wife" is another great silent picture made greater by sound. Little Theatre Group Hears Margaret Larkin NEW YORK (ANP)—Margaret Larkin, of the Theatre Union, the organization which staged "Stevadore" and "Sailors of Cattarro," the two smashing dramatic successes of this and last year's season, was a speaker at Emma Ranom House here Sunday. The occasion was sponsored by the Little Theatre group of the Y.W.C.A. and was presided over by Mrs. Lillian A. Alexander of the National Y.W. Eard.

Mid-Nite Sho Louise Beavers, First Rank Artist, Appears at Lincoln Star of "Imitation of Life" Arrives in D. C., Tomorrow Morning for Initial Personal Showing at a Local Playhouse A Neither beauty, nor charm, nor taletned voice will accompany Miss Louise Beavers when she steps off the train at Union Station tomorrow (Friday) morning at around 8 o'clock in preparation for her first personal appearance on a local stage later in the day. Miss Beavers opens a week's engagement at the Lightman Theatres' Lincoln at sharp 1:20 o'clock according to the program released by Rufus G. Byars, general supervisor. The popular star of the Universal Pictures' "Imitation of Life," is by no means a raving beauty. She isn't one of those "charming young things"—nor is she the proverbial "cute li'l armful." Miss Beavers is merely an artist. Nationally Acclaimed She is merely one of those artists whose work is talked about from one side of the nation to the other. Despite the presence of Miss Claudette Colbert, white, one of Hollywood's leading acresses in the picture, "Imitation of Life" was virtually "made"—at least from a racial viewpoint—by the colored star. Unaided by glamorous settings and favorable sequences, Miss Beavers took the drab role of "Aunt Dellah" and made her living being that toore at the hearts of those who viewed it. She covered the part with artistic glory of a finished performer. In Louise Beavers—she of the old maid's roles in another popular THIRTEEN First Rank pears at Lincoln Arrives in D.

Five appearances, separated by two-hour intervals, will be the pro- gram for Miss Beavers on her opening day. The first is set for 1:20 p.m. Thereafter she will ap- pear daily at 3:20, 5:20, 730 and 9:30. RAPHAEL A Lichtman Theatre 9th. St. near O St., N. W.

February 22. Scouts will meet at the local Scout Headquarters, 1018 Vermont Avenue, Northwest at 8:30 a.m. From there they will be taken by bus to Mount Vernon, where brief Scout exercises will be conducted and a wreath placed on Washington's Tomb. All the troops are expected to have representatives participating. The committee in charge of arrangements is imposed of Dr. A. A. Russell, chairman of activities committee; O. L. Richardson, former chairman of the executive committee, and Lucius E. Young, activities director. New Officers Elected At its monthly meeting last Saturday, the Sixth Division Executive Committee elected the following officers for the current year: B. V. Lawson, Jr., chairman; James W. Childs, first vice chairman; W. E. Lea, second vice chairman; C. T Brooks, secretary-treasurer; W. C. Coston, chaplain, and Edward Lee, sr.geant-at-arms. Colonel West A. Hamilton is chairman of the Division's Jamboree Committee and Lucius E. Young is activities director. The new chairman appointed a committee of five Scouters to recommend to Linn C. Drake, local Scout executive, the selection of a District commissioner for the Sixth Division. Colored Scouts Excell Dr. A. A. Russell, chairman of the Activities Committee, reported the conduct of colored Scouts at the Red Cross examination held February 11 at the Red Cross Headquarters. These boys were able to solve problems in first aid that seemed hard to the white scouts. In their individual first aid kits each Scout carried a small vial of castor oil. "What is this?" asked the examiner. "Castor oil to remove obstinate particles from the eye," instantly replied the Scout. "Excellent!" exclaimed the examiner. None of the white scouts knew about that. Nor did they know how to properly treat a spider bite, therefore they laughed boisterously when a colored scout gave the correct solution. The group of colored scouts, under the leadership of Dr. Russell, were the only group with complete equipment for first aid demonstrations and application. Terrell Law School Conducts Forum Meeting The work of the Terrell Law School was displayed before an enthusiastic audience at the Christian Endeavor forum meeting at the Lincoln Congregational Church Sunday. William Bell, Jr., W. Harold Flowers, James Wainwright, and Miss Martha Malone, all students of the law school, conducted the program. Interesting questions concerning the Negro's relation to the legal profession were directed to the students by the audience. The future lawyers responded promptly. The students and audience were so engrossed in the program that it ran overtime. Knoxville Singers on Tour of South; Praised KNOXVILLE, Tenn—Louis T. Moore, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Wilmington, N. C.; recently heard the Knoxville College quartet and praised the concert of the singers in no uncertain tone. The quartet on tour in the South after broadcasting over the NBC chain from Radio City last month, will be heard in Atlanta February 24 and 25. The Atlanta concerts will be heard at the Greater Wheat Street and the Mount Olivet Baptist Churches. flll CALL ★ WHEN GREET COMES THOMAS FRAZIER AND COMPANY 389 R.I. AVE. N 1213 723TST.H.

North 3815 Opportunity Offered to Compare Work of Colored and White Artists J. V. Herring, associate professor of art, Howard University, in a review of an exhibit of Negro paintings and paintings of Negro subjects, which was prepared under the Public Works of Art Project, calls attention to the fact that while a number of exhibits of Negro paintings has been shown in the past, the collection now being exhibited at Howard University, and afterward to be sent to other art galleries throughout the country, "is probably the first one dealing exclusively with subjects done by Negro artists on the project and by the white artists who have done Negro subjects, thus affording an opportunity for contrasting technic, style, color and composition of the two groups of artists dealing with the same subject." It will be recalled that the artists who worked under these Public Works of Art Project were employed at craftsmen's wages, and the resultant work became the property of the United States Government. The exhibition has been placed at Howard University for the month of February. The total disbursements incurred in sixteen regional offices and subregional or State offices, for the Public Works of Art Project was $1,312,177.93, and $1,184, 743.32 went to artists of America. 15,663 items were produced. Of the 3,749 artists, about 500 were women. 30 were American Indians, at least one a Japanese, and not a few Negro artists were included in this number, among them being Dan Terry Reid, Henry Hudson, James A. Porter, Archibald J. Motley, Jr., Samuel Brown, Earle Richardson and Malvin Gray Johnson. Deaver Young Named Head of N.Y. Auditing Division Deaver Young, graduate of Columbia University, with his third promotion in the New York work division of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, during the past year, finds himself in the most responsible position attained by a colored man, in this department of the government's program. In 1933, Mr. Young was employed under the CWA and was retained under the FERA work division in the auditing department. As chief of the special pay roll division of the New York office, he has two assistants. This department is responsible for all government recks paid to the 200,000 men and women in Greater New York on the ERA works program. 5 Alabama Institutions Granted $24,975 by FERA The five Negro State institutions of higher learning in Alabama received a grant through the State ERA from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration of $24,975 for the 1934-35 school year in student-aid scholarships for 185 Negro men and women. The colleges include Miles Memorial, with 16 students; State A. and M.

NEGRO OFFICERS URGED FOR CCC NEED FOR 1,000 Observers See Plan to Keep Colored Commanders Out of Army TUSKEGEE Ala.—Every father and mother who has a son eligible for conscription to military service in case of an emergency should interest themselves in and become fully acquainted with the Thomason Bill which observers say will soon pass the Congress and be signed by the President, and also in the proposal of General Douglas McArthur, Chief of Staff of the United States Army presented to the House Military Affairs and Committee, educators here urged this week. There are 7,000 reserve officers on duty with the Citizens Conservation Corps throughout the land and no colored reserve officer has been detailed for duty although several thousand colored boys are serving as members of the three Cs. Many reserve officers are available for assignments. 1.000 Should Be Negroes Now that the general sentiment is in favor of doubling the membership of the Corps to help relieve unemployment, and if this is approved, it would mean that 14,000 officers would be required to command the units. Of this 14,000, it is reasonable to believe that 1,000 should be colored to partially command the colored units. It is also reasonable to believe that of the 7,000 officers now no duty, 500 of these should be colored reserve officers. Write Congressmen It is also proposed under the Thomason Bill that 2,000 reserve officers be detailed annually to the Regular Army. It would seem that colored reserve officers should be detailed in proportion to the colored units of the regular army. This bill also proposes to increase the regular army by several thousand and to place the national guard at 210,000 effects. This increase in the Regular Army should mean the addition of several colored units. This can only be accomplished by the colored citizens of the United States making strong appeals by telegrams and letters to their congressmen and senators thus letting them know that they are interested, and fully intelligent in all aspects of the present and proposed additions to our national defenses. Alabama Has 495 FERA Teachers, 30,000 Pupils Reports to Harry L.

Atkins, the field representative in the FERA's emergency education program. $2.00 PER DAY BUYS YOU A TAXI (1935 Models) See Mr. Sullivan Ourisman Chevrolet 625 H St., N. E.

COURT PLAY Virginia State Basketers Trounc Smith Despite Local Boys' Efforts PETERSBURG, Va.—The Virginia State Trojans continued their uninterrupted march to the C.I.A.A. basketball championship by defeating decisively the J. C. Smith Bulls, 45 to 28, on Tuesday and taking over the Shaw Bears 50 to 20 on Thursday of last week. These two victories give the Trojans an impressive record of ten straight wins in the C.I.A.A. loop, and place them out in front in one of the hottest races that the conference has experienced in recent years. With eleven games won and only one defeat the Trojans have a slight edge on the leading contenders at this writing. Game Colorless The Smith game was a rather dull affair with the Trojans dominating the situation throughout, except for a brief period at the start when Boyd, Robinson and Eaton each scored a field goal to give the Bulls a six-point lead which they enjoyed only momentarily. As soon as the Trojans' scoring machine, consisting of Messrs, Griffin, Cole, Tatum, Borican, and Smythe, started clicking, the State team took the lead and kept it, always remaining safely out in front. By the end of the first half the Trojans lead 25 to 11 In the second half, Peaches Robinson, former Dunbar High School star of this city and now ace forward and chief coog in the Bull's machine, fought gamely to keep his team in the running. His efforts earned for him high scoring honors with 13 points; but a team with only one sharp-shooter can not usually out distance a team with five. Thus Robinson's praiseworthy effort was vain.

The Downie maids eked out a 14-6 win, holding the Bowie lassies to two field goals in the first half and one in the second. Then Coach Lewis' lads grabbing a 30-11 verdict, went the lassies one better, by confining the Taylor tossers to a lore point in the final half Though victorious, the Downing-town girls gave their sloppiest exhibition in years of ball-handling and shooting. The forwards, Bradley, Brown, and Howard, played like frightened novices in their first contest. Only great defensive work by the guards, Mil Jones, Sis Banks, and Teenie Foust, saved the Quakers' clean slate. James, a former All M3A guard, blanked Bowie's sensation, Gray, and forced her transfer to guard. Brooks and Hawkins did the best work for the Maryland Sextet. Slaughter, back in form again, paced the Downie lads with 11 tallies, closely followed by Hart and Banks with seven. The game was close for one half of the distance, the Lewisters holding only a 13-10 margin at the intermission. They galloped away in the second canto, however, and denied the Taylorites a single field goal. Wormley seemed to be the only member of the Bowie tribe for whom the going was not too fast. He played a heads-up game. $2.00 PER DAY BUYS YOU A TAXI (1935 Models) See Mr. Sullivan Ourisman Chevrolet 625 H St., N. E.

Houston told the sub-committee the ques- tion of constitutionality was one for the courts to decide, Citing the Lindbergh law, Mr. Houston charged that where other public emergencies existed, Con- gress has gone ahead with legisla- tion and left its constitutionality up to the courts, Immediate enact- ment of the measure would check “sporadic mob outbreaks,” Mr. Houston claimed after reviewing a record of the horrible lyin of the past two years including the Claude Neal “public execution in Florida,” Files Documents mater Wolte, One Of es witnesses at the last hearings, read into the record and fited with. the sub-committee documents support- ing the Costigan-Wagner measure. ‘The documents included a copy of ‘a petition presented to President Roosevelt with the signatures of 314 representative citizens urging the President to take a favorable stand on the bill, a list of organi- zations with a combined member- ship of 42,000,000 persons support- ing the proposed measure, a full text of the investigation by the NAACP. of the Clade Neal lynching. an itemized account of alt U.S, iyuchings in. 1934 and 1935, and typical editorials urging pass- a® of the bill oF bill “with teeth in it.” “The petition to Roosevelt, Mr. White informed the sub-committee, contained the names of 10 Gover- fnors, 28 majors, 109° bishops, 64 college presidents and 12 lawyers, Mr. White was the last of the pan- el of witnesses to appear. HH. L. Mencken After Senator Wagner | stated that dynching constitutes “almost every type of infamy that blots the record of civilization,” H. 1. Mene- ken asserted no civilized govern- ment could “condone such atroci- ties.” Telling the sub-commitice the sooner the bill is on the floor for consideration the better, Sena- tor Wagner said: “This bill does not deprive States of their respon- sibility, it really gives them added incentive to justice.” ‘Asserting that the problem be- fore Congress is the “simple ont of providing legisiative means ta execute the Fourteenth Amend- ment,” Mencken said: “To large mumbers of American citizens’ lives in certain parts of the country become intolerably hezard- ous; they may be seized on any pretext, however flimsy, and put to death with horrible tortures, No governinent pretending to be civi- lized can go on condoning such atrocities, “Either it must make every pos- sible effort to put them down, or it must suffer the scorn and con- tempt of Christians. That Con: gress has the power to adopt the necassary legislation seems to be agreed by all lawyers, though they differ as to the wisdom and con- stitutionality of the bill now be- fore the Senate. On this point I can offer no opinion. But I hope I may at least suggest that the best plan will be to make a begin- ning by passing that bill, and then wailing for the proper courts to pass upon it. If defects are found in it, whether legal or practical, they may aS remedied. But noth ing canbe aces d_until an actual mle mea undertaken. Even, if the sworst comes to the worst, and we find that, preventing bees “is actually impossible, atediscovery will at least be aamathine? OAS “Representative.

The victim js seized and held with- vut legal warrant by a lawless mob. He is frequently taken from the custody of peace officers, with their or passive sanction. Accusa- tion is conviction, All right of fair hearing and trial are brutally and summarily denied. The victim is often transported from state to state, Usually ty torture, which permits no alternative, he is driven in utter misery to _meaning‘ess self-indictment, And, finally, he 4s put to death, with young and old indiscriminately looking on, or par- cipating, under crime-breeding eir- cumstances of indescribable savag- ery.” The co-author of the measure told the sub-committee “public opinion demands federal action as an indispensable safeguard to in- dividual and community safety.” Hits Liability Clause Senator Dieterich (Democrat of Illinois), member of the sub-com- mittee, opposed the county liability clause of the proposed measure with sharp criticism, He asserted that the clause made it possible to subject Chicago to damages to in- demnify gangland when a gang- ster was taken for a ride, A modi- fication to make the counties liable only where they failed to exercise “due diligence” to protect a mob victim was suggested by Senator Costigan, Others supporting the bill were Representative Thomas M. Ford (Democrat of California) who in- trodiiced the bill in the House; Senator Guffey (Democrat of Penn- syivania); and W. E. Woodward, chairman’ of the Writers Leagve Against Lynchings. ‘The latter de- clared “general laxity of laws have caused widespread lynchings.” WORLD FOCUSSED ON ABYSS gainat the Italians is said to be bit- ter. ‘Their national history during the last three-quarters of a century has been filled with distrust of Haly. In the most important arm- ed conflicts between the two coun- tries the Ethiopians have always been the victors. These successes have developed within them a fear- less attitude toward the Italians. Maly Mobilizing Mussolini is reported to be mob- ilizing a quarter of a million men, specially trained for his African “punitive expedition. After a bloody conflict at Afdub in Ethiopia on January 29. Italy demanded of Ethiopia an indemity ‘of $44,900, salutes in the Ethiopian capital to the Italian flag, a neu- tralized zone between Italian So- maliland and Eritrea, Italy's south- ern and northern colonies and a new understanding of boundaries ‘These demands the Ethiopians spurned, The emperor of Ethiopia, ail Selassie, despatched “note to Mussolini, disclaiming respon- sibility for the conflict at Afdub, and suggesting that the two coun- tries confer. Mussolini declined to answer the note, preferring to dis- patch troops to Ethiopia. Ready to Fight | The Ethiopian charge d'affaires, in Rome stated: “We cannot be expected to suffer in silence indefinitely, It has been apparent to Ethiopians for some time that the border incidents be- tween the Italian native troops and our Ethiopian tribesmen have originated outside the desire of the Ethiopian people, “Also for months past there has been a campaign of calumny a- gainst Ethiopia. We want this catpaign stopped, and although we don’t wish to fight, we will do so if forced, We wiil'not attack. We will never attack. However, in ease of an attack, we will resist.” Asked if he expect*d any other nation to aid Ethiopia, he replied: “Ethiopia does not need one.” Can Fight The charge claimed that Ethiopia could muster 1,000,000 well-trained fighting men, armed with modern equipment, on short notice, and that, if necessary, three mitlion of the ten million inhabitants would bear arms. ; Ethiopia ix not well equipped. is fighting machines airplanes, tanks, big guns, and the implements of poison gas warfare. but it is sus- pected that she is much better equipped than she has let the world know.

Several thousands of others including most of the sound thinking men and women in the District who look at the situation in a sane and calm manner do feel that the university is doomed to the bow-wows and everybody who is in sympathy with the administration should be fired. If Howard is in the condition that some people would like to make you believe, then the Department of Justice, Interior Secretary Ickes and the Board of Trustees are a bunch of dummies who are the ones to be fired for keeping the present administration in charge. It appears that a certain group of discontents will stop at nothing to wreck the institution. Every act of an employee is not only blamed on the Howard president, but the act is construed to give the impression that it was done at the behest of the administration. In all of this mud slinging and cheap underhand tactics by those seeking to tear down an educational institution, the president has stood aloof and refused to stoop to answer varied and sundry inferences. Despite rumors to the contrary, Washington's leaders and those of the public who have given the matter any consideration still believe in Mordecai Johnson and point with pride to the great strides that the school has made under the first Negro president and under his direction and administration. THE RATING SYSTEM The main issue brought out in the recent hearing on the rating system in the public schools is the fact that principals and officers can always hold a stick over the teachers in the form of a rating. Regardless how efficient a teacher may be that employee can be kept subjected and from promotion by a principal who may have it in for the employee by rating the teacher lower than he or she deserves. In that way a teacher may be placed on the spot by an officer and given such ratings as will eventually result in dismissal from the service. All hands, including the Board of Education and officers, agree that the present rating system is faulty. An ideal system of ratings is that which is done by an outside agency not under any officer, but responsible only to the Board of Education for its actions. In such a set-up the petty politics would be eliminated in passing on the qualifications of teachers who would feel free to carry on their work without most of the ills recently brought to the attention of the board during the hearing. GOVERNMENT IS CHIEF OFFENDER Congressman Mitchell's bill to create a Negro Industrial Commission has met with favorable response from several leading educators and business men. Besides investigating labor problems where the Negro is concerned the Commission will act as a sort of good-will agency between colored and white citizens in the United States. The much heralded Black Cabinet was supposed to remedy some of the ills of the Negro in this country, but most of the cabinet meetings, ended in petty squabblings among its members and now we hear nothing of it. Included in the measure introduced by Mr. Mitchell is a paragraph dealing with subversive propaganda among Negroes. The Communist party does have a large following of Negro adherents and quite a few of the Negro intellectuals have communistic leaning. It is unfortunate that white America still refuses to face the fact that communism is not only gaining a strong hold among Negroes, but also among a large number of native-born whites for the reason that it is being reported that Soviet Russia is at least offering a man's chance to men, regardless of color, but the fact is stressed that America is withholding these rights and all of the cabinets and commissions will not solve the problem as long as the government is the chief offender when it comes to advocating Jim-Crow, segregation and disfranchisement. ITALIAN BOYCOTT URGED The support of American Negroes is being solicited by Ethiopia in that country's present crisis with Italy. In New York last week agitation was begun to enlist Negroes and the American people to boycott Italian merchants in an attempt to stay the hand of Mussolini. Such a policy was followed by the American Jews when Hitler began persecution of that race in Germany. The leaders of the movement in New York are Ethiopians residing in this country. Back to Booker Washington Back to the farm in harmony with Booker Washington's advice appears now to be not only the Negroes' best chance, but his only chance. Booker T. Washington was one of America's great motive philosophers. Like Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln his wisdom was racy of the soil and abounded ability to explicate common things and to make them interesting. He had little stated schooling or book learning. As they say in the South, he was born with a caul over his face. The title of "Doctor" which the great universities conferred upon him did not connotate any specified degree of learning, but were bestowed in recognition of his inspired common sense. It also gave the South a handy title by which to address so eminent a citizen without violating their social tab against addressing a colored man as "mister." Dr. Washington confined the output of his genius to the Negro problem which constituted the critical problem, not only of the South, but of the nation. He stood as a dayman between the two races and laid a proprietary hand upon them both. He urged the whites to treat the Negro with justice and kindness and stood upon his own race to reciprocate in the spirit of mutual good-will and helpfulness. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HAD SOUND PHILOSOPHY He perceived that the Negro was riding behind a double horse team, one labeled "right" and the other "duty." He urged not to speed up one too far ahead of the other. If he seemed to apply the lash to "Duty" rather than to "Rights," it was because he clearly saw that under the goad of temporary excitement, he saw that "Rights" has spurred ahead at a pace which he could not maintain. The intelligentsia of his race who were insistent upon the instant fulfillment of every guaranteed right, without reserve and without delay, became irritated at his leadership. They called him a compromiser and a trimmer. They denounced him in terms of which those who still survive are thoroughly ashamed. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, a brilliant Harvard scholar, of brilliant mind and acrid spirit, assumed the role of the apostle of the opposition. The storm was dramatized about him as playing the leading role. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was organized, not in direct antagonism of the Washington propaganda—no not that—but to emphasize the Negro's rights which it was claimed the industrial leader had failed to place proper stress and emphasis upon. "The Crisis" under the editorship of Dr. DuBois was established as the organ of the new movement. It was conducted with great literary skill and controversial spirit. Shortly after this Booker Washington died. We can now calmly appraise his work and that of his antagonists in the retrospect of the past quarter of a century. The World War intervened and mass production after the manner of Henry Ford and other great industrialists made industrial training so ardently advocated by Dr. Washington of little effectiveness in the industrial world. In due course of time the war was followed by the great depression which diverted the American mind away from abstract rights to the basic human necessities of subsistence. Dr. DuBois, the master mind of the opposition, after a quarter of a century of trial and failure, comes out and openly acknowledges the collapse of the N.A.A.C.P. program, and virtually confirms Booker Washington's position. The N.A.A.C.P. continues on its appointed way but limits its endeavor chiefly to protest and remonstrance against lawlessness and lynching and other forms of palpable injustice about which there can be no dispute in the minds of patriotic citizens. Booker Washington urged his race to let down the bucket where they are and to work out their salvation in the soil of the South. Since ther, some two millions have shifted to the North, but on account of prevailing conditions have not bettered their lot. What these Northern cities will do for or with these surplus Negroes, the wise ones of neither the Old nor the New Deal can tell us. Back to the farm in harmony with Booker Washington's advice appears now to be not only the Negroes' best chance, but his only chance.

Looking at the new car models, you may wonder why you never realized before the beauty of a potato bug. One of the smartest ways to avoid money inflation is to deflate interest and utility rates.

Confirm letters to 233 words or less, sign name to show good faith and give address and telephone number. Names will not be published if no requested. The school's release sent the story and we published it as sent. To the Editor: The Tribute: You were kind to search to publish in your issue of February 2 under the caption "Failure to Get Pay Demoralizes Teaching Staff" a newspaper release pointing out the inability of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to meet promptly its financial responsibilities to some two hundred institutions in this State. I am sure that you will want to honor my request that you publish this letter, in order that an entirely unintentional stigma may be removed from my teachers. Of our present teaching-staff three are Washingtonians—Raymond A. Lemmon, head-teacher; Miss Pauline A. Gaskins, and Mrs. Lillian T. Mitchell. A fourth, my wife, Mrs. Virginia Ruffin Waring, is a graduate of Howard and well-known in Washington. I myself was born and raised in the nation's capital. We all, as well as the remaining teachers, have been embarrassed by the thought that our friends may believe that our professional spirit was not great enough to wield the demoralizing effects of such a financial crisis. May I say that several weeks ago death removed one of our teachers. More recently another was called home by the passing of her father. It was necessary for a short time to distribute their duties among those still here. Never have I heard the slightest word of complaint or question over the added burden. Without exception every teacher has been cheerful, professionally alert, and eager that the work of the school should not be affected in the least by the financial situation. As a deserved tribute to this teaching-staff, I feel it my duty to say that probably no principal in the United States has a more loyal consecrated group than I have. I should be guilty of disloyalty to them if I did not correct an unfavorable impression which your headline may unwittingly have caused. J. H. N. WARING, JR., Principal. Urges domestics and farmers to help pass insurance measure. To the Editor, The Tribune: In regards to the Old Age Pensions Bill, in which the servants and farmers might not be included, I would suggest that your paper appeal directly to those affected in some such fashion as the following: Attention Servants! Attention Farmers! Cut this out—"Possible exemptions of farmers, domestics and casuals from the pension and job insurance of the bill." Servants should cut this out and take it directly to their employers and ask them to telegraph (at the servants' expense) their Legislators to remove that paragraph from the bill. (It is surprising to know what influence most servants have within the household. Often they know enough confidential things to almost send their employers to jail. And most employers want some such a thing as a pension to dump their aged servants on). Those servants in states should also telegraph and follow that up with the ballot on those members who do not take heed. Farmers should apply their ballots and send telegraphs directly; they should demand that those concerns with whom they spend their money send telegraphs (at the farmers' expense); and they should mention the situation to those to whom they sell. This might help upset what looks to be a terrible calamity, being brought on by committee, for it seems to be directed almost entirely at the Negro race. And we should try to relieve the President from his threatened veto. YOUR SUBSCRIBER. Carter G. Woodson says he was mis-quoted on the Negro church. To the Editor, The Tribune: Since writing Major R. R. Wright a letter requesting an explanation of his assertion that I would do away with the Negro church I have had the opportunity to read the article in which he states, "From the headlines in some of our newspapers, I notice that our distinguished historian, Carter G. Woodson, thinks that we should scrap all religion." I have never made any such statement, and I am surprised that Major Wright has done me the injustice to extend the circulation of it without verification. Recently in Detroit and at other times I have urged Negroes to scrap all graft, politics, licentiousness, and strife in the church. I have also urged Negroes to scrap such sectarianism as Baptism. Methodism, Presbyterianism, and the like and organize one church to promote the principles of Jesus of Nazareth. Evidently some reporter thought it would sound better to put it another way. Major Wright ought to know by this time that some people have the right to lie and they exercise this right rather freely to make what they have to say interesting. I am a member of a church myself and recently when attending contributed ten dollars to its support. I am wondering how one thus associated and functioning can be in favor of destroying the church. In all my writings, moreover, I have tried to make it clear that the Negro church is about the only thing that the race has developed in America. In most other lines the Negro is dependent upon others or controlled by them. A man should not be misquoted and misrepresented because he believes that the politicians, grafters, and libertines ought to be driven out of the church. I doubt the wisdom too of abusing him for advocating the unification of the Negro churches which are hopelessly divided and burdened to death with a priestcraft five times as large as it should be. If advocating the destruction of these evils means "the scrapping of religion," I do not understand the English language and the principles accepted for the proper expression of thought. CARTER G. WOODSON. Disapproves of film, "Bordertown." To the Editor: The pictures shown at the local theatres this week might all be pleasing to some, but I dare say that all were not enjoyed by the majority of the Negro race. The picture that I have in mind is the feature at the Lincoln Theatre, the most beautiful colored theatre in Washington. "Bordertown," the title of the film, is nothing other than one to spread propaganda. Paul Muni, the young lawyer in the picture, was looked on as an incompetent one because of his Mexican nationality. The white man took him as one far beneath his race, trying to follow in his footstep. The young Negro youth perhaps, will adapt a serious inferiority complex because of the portrayal of the character in the picture. I say forcefully that "Bordertown" had nothing to offer or to suggest constructively to the race. Surely there are other thinkers who willingly agree with me. I hope that no other picture of this type will be offered to the younger generation as good entertainment. A CONSTANT ATTENDANT Italy vs Abyssinia: Smuts and Japan By WILLIAM PICKENS (Fer The Associated Negro Press) The most enlightening word I have ever read on Italy and Abyssinia is the article by J. A. Rogers in the February "Crisis." The historical outline of Italo—Abyssinian relations made clear in that article could furnish a basis for any statesman's thinking his way through the present bad relations of the two countries. Whenever oil or any other source of quick wealth is discovered in any country not able to defend itself, the poor natives have to look out for their very lives. Mussolini not only wants to wipe out the oil stain of Italy's having been whipped by Abyssinia at the end of the last century but he wants oil fields of that African state. He mobilizes and calls for apologies, indemnities, and border concessions—but he hopes Abyssinia will refuse to yield, so that he can employ force. Or if Abyssinia yields, he will try to get the boundry line fixed so that Italy will have the oil—and whatever else Italy wants. Abyssinia Backward in Economics Meanwhile, Abyssinia, a backward state in economics and military, which has not been preparing for war for more than a decade as has Italy, has its back to the wall. May the shade of old Menelik who destroyed an invading Italian army, sustain her people. Meanwhile Mussolini may be biting off more than he can chew: England is not so anxious to have this Latin braggart standing as stride the necessary English route to Asia. France may have traded with Mussolini, but not yet the British. The British very rarely trade against their own interests. This bullying act of Mussolini's sets the movement for pacifism all over the civilized world: suppose for example, that some Italian forces had invaded territory claimed by America, and our American soldiers had fought with and killed some Italian forces—200 or 2,000 of them. Then, suppose that while our government was trying to investigate and settle the matter Musso- This Week By HAROLD G. EATON NEGRO PUBLISHERS AND NEGRO WRITERS. Some day, perhaps, Negro publishers will awaken from their slumber and realize the value of compensating those struggling feature writers who contribute to their weekly publications. a attack of writer's itch. I used to wonder why so many of our educated young men and women seemed to shun the opportunity of becoming scribes. But after being affiliated with Negro publications for the last six years I no longer teen, I used wonder why so many of our education young men and women seemed to shun the opportunity of becoming scribe. But after being affiliated with Negro publication for the last six years I no longer wonder. I well know the answer. Journalism is about the poorest paying field the Negro can enter. Now and then one may be successful in free lancing for white publications but to rely on Negro publishers for a living is an ideal way to commit suicide. From the writing former Dean of Howard University down to the gossip columnist, the conditions are the same. The big fellows and the little fellows are in the same bag. George S. Schuyler, contributor to a well known Pittsburgh weekly, is, to my knowledge, the only Negro that can claim a reasonable return for his contributions to a Negro weekly. And with that, he has to peddle African ware in order to make ends meet. Kelly Miller, Carter Woodson and other writers for Negro weeklies write mostly for their health and for the love of writing, and perhaps, for the god that they think they do. There is no one that needs more encouragement than the journalist. The so-called columnist receives much inspiration in knowing that somebody somewhere appreciates his efforts in literature. Even the critic, though he be ever so harsh in views, is welcomed by the scribe, because through him the writer corrects his mistakes. The critic is a teacher. However a writer receives his greatest inspiration by receiving a fee for his manuscript. There is a deal of encouragement attached to every penny that he receives. The majority of the colored publishers, through lack of vision, fail to recognize the importance of placing a price on feature subjects that appear in their papers. It makes no difference how hard a writer may work in collecting his data to make up his article, he gets the cold shoulder when some reference is made toward compensation. On the other hand the Negro publisher thinks that the contributor should feel highly honored in getting worthy space on his editorial sheet or other main sections of the paper. If conditions are to remain the same what about the future of Negro literature? Certainly such a state will in time affect the now ambitious writers and also serve to discourage those who are thinking of becoming writers. Since there are two sides to every question, I would like very lini should mobilize his army and "demand" apology, pay and territorial concessions. Every man in America, black and white, peaceful, and warlike, would just tell our government to tell Mussolini to go to hell. And why would we do that? Italy Does Not Fear Abyssinia Because we are well armed and do not fear Italy. And why would Mussolini refuse to make or to try to enforce such demands on the United States? Because we are well armed and he fears to attack us. We have much more and better oil than has Abyssinia; but we also have better guns, better organization and more ammunition than has Abyssinia. Mussolini would have the greater respect for the greater force. There is no doubt about it. With such a glaring example of the bully's disrespect for weak innocence the cause of pacifism will have to reckon. In such a state of things the peace lovers (of whom the writer is one in theory at heart) will have to make some concessions to the arbitrarians. Alas, but it seems that the Mussolinis will respect only superior force. General Smuts and China Then there is General Smuts of South African infantry, where he helped to oust the unarrived blacks not only from their homes but from consideration in the Human Family: Smuts is calling on the powers to prevent Japan from dominating China. We wish to ask whether it would be better for Chinese to be dominated by the ideals of South Africa or by the ideals of Japan. What hypocrites we are! The great inhumanity in his story is that committed by Smuts and his fellow whites in the South of Africa. Just how much of Smuts's animals toward Japanese, a colored people, is actuated by the psychosis which he has developed by trampling on a colored people in his home country for all of his life? The brutality of the Mussolini's and the hypocrisy of the Smutses are serious problems for pacifists. BEATRICE MURPHY Dear Mary: A friend of mine wrote me a letter the other day, and this is what he said: My dog died this week. A young man I knew died this week. Both of them were my friends. We, the three of us knew each other in much the same way that people and animals know each other. And yet to me there seems a strange similarity in the passing of them both. My dog was ill. I took him to a veterinarian. It seemed as though he was recovering. Just when I thought he would get well—he died, I would like to say that he died not because he was too sick to live, but that he was too tired of fighting to live. He, it seems to me did not try to continue the fight against the invisible forces that make life to most of the intelligent human animals worth living. I say I would like to say these things because that is my way of living and my way of thinking. I can't say them because I do not know if my dog had the same outlook that I have, I know this: he seemed tired, we knew that he was ill, he failed to respond to the urge to live—and one morning we found him dead, I wonder what his urge to live consisted of— My friend was ill also. No one took him to a doctor. It may be that we did not know just how ill he really was. And it may have been—I think that is the real reason—that my friend had no money with which to pay the doctor. Unlike my dog, my friend was hungry. He did not even have money with which to buy food. It seems odd to me now when I think I could share my meagerly board with my dog because he could not talk and act as I do, and yet could not share it with my friend because he could. How he came to be hungry; how he lost his footing in this society; how he came to the place where I found him—that is all another story. Suffice it to say that I knew him and watched him as he lost his hold, bit by bit, I wonder if he thought about these things this way. I don't know. I know only this—that slowly the things that to him made life have meaning began to get the upper hand; he was being lost in the mad rush. Until now—well he is just not here any more. I do not know whether or not I was of much use to him. I am using empty words when I say that I helped him as much as I could. I helped as long as I thought I should—then I told him that he was a man and that as a man it would be up to him to handle his problem in much the same way as all men must. Empty words—just empty words. To him I do not think they meant very much. For I had the breaks. He did not have the breaks. I knew, just a little better than he, the rules of this society of human animals; and therefore they were just a little more on my side. He did not know them all—the rules—and therefore he had to fight an enemy that to him had little form or meaning. In my ego I think it became too much for him; that he became too much to know the publishers' views —What they are going to do about it. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W.

I am of the opinion that no class of persons are so devoted to their sponsors and employers as the newspaper fraternity, particularly the men who actually do the reporting. A friend, a young man who has been studying law a little while, waylaid me recently to offer me an argument dissenting from the idea that newspapermen are to be ranked with lawyers and priests in the right to receive privileged communications. I seldom argue for two reasons; first, because I know that a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still and, second, because I usually have too hard a time defining terms. However, argue I did, on this day. My friend pointed out that the aforementioned privilege is granted only because it is thought to serve a social interest. He then wanted to know: "Just what interest is being protected by having our newspapermen learn of anti-social conduct and yet frustrate the agencies appointed to protect society from such conduct." "This privilege business is not a personal business bestowed on law- yers, husbands and priests. It is a social affair and society has a right to see how it is handled." My friend went on to point out that I am not a lawyer. That gave me an opening and I dived in, saving: "This privilege business is not a person yers, husbands and priests. It is a social a to see how it is handled." My friend were not a lawyer. That gave me an opening an "I am not a lawyer, and neither are then intimated that if he had studied the tion (profession) as solicitously as he had would never have come asking "what inter newspapermen a right to conceal the source would have known that what is being prot assets of liberty, a prerequisite to justice, arcya, a sine qua non of civilization (I borne lie information.

I then intimated that if he had studied the social imports of my avocation (profession) as solicitously as he had studied those of his own he would never have come asking "what interest is protected" in granting newspapermen a right to conceal the sources of their information. It would have known that what is being protected is one of the precious assets of liberty, a prerequisite to justice, an indispensable asset to democracy, a sine qua non of civilization (I borrowed that one), namely, public information. In my opinion, I said inconclusion, the social interest served by allowing lawyers to have privileged communications from their clients is important, but in comparison with the one served in allowing newspapermen to get and print the news it is insignificant. The fact that the privilege in question is sometimes abused is undeatable. I know, too, that many sins are done in the name of "freedom of the press." But, here I quote a white southern columnist: "Whatever the abuse and the sinning, these are things too precious to the society of a free people ever to be denied.

Ricks and John (No Trump) Taylor, business manager, are cordially invited to come out and bring their friends to the mid-winter dance being sponsored by the A.F. of G.E.

I understand that Louis Melhinger, Morrissey Koonce and the rest of the Justice Department Club have been invited as have the groups at Treasury, Interior and the Post Office. This writer thinks that it is a pity that since none of these groups boast more than 20 paid up, regularly attending members that no get-together at least once a year has been arranged. All of them combined would only make one decent organization. Surely the heads of these little sparsely membered departmental clubs realize the error of isolation. I think that it was Saint Augustine who said: "To err is human, to persist in error is devilish." My friend went on to say: GRAVEYARD ALIBIS By William Pickens Dead witnesses! Those seem to be the best witnesses that Hauptmann and his lawry have to call on: two dead ones, Isador Fisch and Violet Sharpe, are the ones on whom Hauptmann lays the charge of kidnapping and murdering Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. This graveyard alibi will not impress the average citizen, even if it impresses the court. We have no great respect for Charles Augustus Lindbergh, the father: he has not shown any high qualities outside of an airplane, and he has shown some very low qualities in his snobbishness toward the colored man who found the body of his baby and went and hunted up the Lindberghs and told them about it. There are some things we must admire in Lindbergh, but we do not have to admire everything. However, there is no doubt about the innocence of the baby, for who ever murdered him we hope will be brought to justice and judgment for it. We, too had the idea that maybe Violet Sharpe who committed suicide rather than be further questioned by the investigating police, had some guilty knowledge with the kidnaper,—but there is no convincing evidence to show that Fisch, rather than Hauptmann, was the kidnaper. Violet Sharpe threw suspicion, on herself by self-destruction, but Fisch died a natural (?) death in a battle with tuberculosis. If Fisch had had all the money that Hauptmann claims he had, it seems to us that Fisch would have sought some congenial climate to fight for his health in that Germany offers. We do not know what the evidence still to be produced may finally show; we hope it will show up the guilty party, whether he (or she) be dead or alive. But we can be excused for saying that this propensity of the Hauptmann defense battery to bring accusations against the dead, one after the other, is a smelly business to our postrills. Another thing: This trial must be costing Hunterdon County in New Jersey an enormous sum of tired to go on; that he stopped for a moment to rest and this rest gave the invisible forces the chance they wanted. They overpowered him. He has gone to take a long rest—But I do know this. That from the known and the unknown is the only way we can with truth proceed. I do know that they were both very tired. I know that neither they nor me will ever quite win money. No trial would be allowed to cost the public so much in England, and the case would be just as well or better sifted. There is a lot of fool exhibitionism going on at that New Jersey trial, sometimes on the part of the prosecution, sometimes on the part of the defense. Do they not realize that the net result will be to discourage the paying public about according fair trials to criminals? The legal showmanship and unnecessary technicalities ought to be cut out, as they would be in any European state, certainly in Great Britain or Switzerland. The people of this New Jersey county, should not be required to pay money to promote the prestige of any criminal lawyer, nor to boost the political chances of any state officer. And of course, it is nauseating to see the "society folk" showing off their best dresses at this sad affair. Perhaps Fisch and Miss Sharpe did the kidnapping—and then let Hauptmann come into the chief part of the money. Stranger things than that have happened. But any accusation against the dead ought to be required to produce proof beyond a shadow of doubt. The dead cannot speak for themselves, and all legal presumptions ought to be construed in favor of the dead. I have always believed that if I were a juryman in such a case, the most "conclusive" circumstantial evidence could not induce me to vote for a more severe penalty than imprisonment, perhaps for life. From an article in the Saturday Evening Post it is learned that the views of Mr. Heover do not coincide with those of Mr. Roosevelt. The sensational Post is always springing some surprise—Pasadena Post. FOUNDERS DAY HELD It was an impressive ceremony that marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of Virginia Union University, as faculty and students gathered in historic Coburn Hall. February 8 to observe Founders Day. Motto: Nineteen-thirty-five sees business revive. in the fight to overpower the forces arrayed against us. The difference is this: when you become too tired or I become too tired to go on, we may set down to rest and the rest may sit down to rest and the rest get to return $t_0$ the fight. It will go on without us. Whether we be humans or animals, the fight still somehow goes on, and seemingly does not even miss us."

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Not only is it "Cherry Tree and Hatchet" time but it's time to make a mad rush for the "Land of Make Believe," at the Colonade. But you knew it all the time. You've been busy pinching pennies—chopping 'em from your luncheon budget; clipping 'em from your dinner allawance and taking 'em off your breakfast accounts. And now you've got the necessary number (only fifty to be sure). You've decided on your tuffetta frock or maybe your velvet gown. And now for the "man in the case." If it's Friend Husband, there's nothing to do but inform him of the hour. You try to catch him unaware. If you give him time to reflect, he'll be very apt to remember an important "Grand Lodge" meeting that he simply cannot riss. If it's Mr. "Boy Friend" just wear your new pink dress and he'll take you in a minste. (Funny how strong men grow weak at the sight of palest pink). Why, he may even whisper in your ear "Let's name the day, dear," if your pretty frock is frill: enough. If your handsome "Friend" is indisposed or maybe out of town, don't stand aside for that. Lovely ladies like Mrs. McGuire, Mrs. Narka Lee Rayford, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. Martha McAdoo will be very glad to greet you even if good old "Rover" brings you there. Or, suppose you can't find Rover, and the mean old dog-catcher has your hound, come on in and dance around and maybe you'll forget it. And then when July's sunshine brightens Highland Beach, and happy groups of healthy girls are camming thereabout, your gladdened heart will fill with pride as you fondly recollect that your fifty little pennies went ( help Camp Clarissa Scott. Mrs. Willie Simmons, of S Street, Northwest, "birthday-partying" for her niece, Mae (the cute Miss with Cupid's Bow mouth) Mrs. J. A. Lankford assisting the genial hostess, staying almost too late, then rushing like everything to get to Mrs. Samuel Milton's of 1607 S Street, where the Neighborhood Club was being entertained. Among he Milton's guests was Mrs. Oscar DePriest, still radiant and happy over the grand reception tendered her and Mr. DePriest on the previous Wednesday evening What a dynamic individual Dean Robert Hayes of New Orleans University is. He came to Washington the other week, said a new kind words to the New Orleans University Club and now all you can hear is "Back to New Orleans for N. O. U.'s Commencement Day." It is the custom of the club to send an annual contribution to the school, and this year instead of employing the postman or maybe an aviator to carry their lightweight check, the members intend to derive a little deeper into their all but empty pockets (they'll dig right into your pocket too, that is, of course, if you'll only kindly let 'em) and collect so many pennies that the whole club will have to go to take 'em here's luck to them. But everybody's wondering how Washington will be able to spare them all at one time. Among them are Messrs. Boyd Clark Charles Cornish, Herman Tardie Robert Bates, William Johnson Wallace Gant, Earl Moses, Dave Morrell; Drs. J. C. Brazier, T. C. Smith, Oliver Humble, William Parker, Fred Jolle, Jackson L. Davis—but 'twould take all my space in this paper to name the jolly lot. A lot of ill Washingtonians have been breathing a bit easier the past few weeks on account of the fact that two of the city's pru- The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 23, 1935 nent undertakers are sojourning in Hot Springs, Ark. (Messrs. John T. Rhines and Thomas Frazier). In the meantime some of us have been tramping snow-filled streets and forgetting to do galoshes. And now we're nursing Vick's Salve jars and drinking onion tea trying to keep a pace away from the stay-at-home morticians. Two of the loveliest members of that ever so popular eloque the "Junior Matrons" are Mrs. Elva Richardson and Mrs. Mira Shorts of 1740 T Street, Northwest. They are sisters, but don't ask me which is the more attractive. I've already worn my poor locks gray, trying to figure that puzzle out. Saw the ever so stylish looking Ruth Osborne Davis the other day. There was a merry twinkle in her eye and I knew right away that something pretty was up. And something was. Mrs. Davis and several other ladies were getting ready that very minute to invite a lucky few to dance the afternoon away on "Cherry Tree and Hatchet Day." Mr and Mrs. Edward Howard of 932 T Street, both anxious to play in the Delta's Bridge Tournament the other night but neither got a chance. Mrs. Howard, the popular Edith, couldn't play because she was a member of the Delta's committee and was oh, so very busy otherwise, Mr. Howard, the young lawyer, had to give most of his time to Edward, Jr. There was a birthday party, you see, and of course, Junior couldn't possibly miss it. So when Mr. Howard was not standing around waiting to take young Edward to the party, he was sitting around waiting to be him home. Ran across the Millers the other day (Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller of the pretty P Street home). Both jolly and happy as ever but wishing for June to come so their charming daughter, Elsie, can lock her schoolroom door in Cowpens, S. C., and hurry right straight home. The "black-white" combination may be unbatable and all that but the "black-red" idea has its moments, too. And one of them is the hour when lovely black-haired Olli Brazier, wife of Dr. J. C. Brazier, of 1801 First Street, Northwest, dons that clever red and black velvet dress. She wore it the other Sunday afternoon when she and the popular Dr. were enteaining Dean Robert Hayes, of New Orleans University. The interesting face of Richard B. Harrison ("De Lawd") in the play (Green Pastures") peeping out of the pages of the March number of the American Magazine. Congratulations, old trouper. It must be grand to know you're good enough to play the very same role two thousands times. Everybody wants to stay at a "Sap" affair till "Home, Sweet Home" is played. So the smart "Saps" are getting a lot of credit for moving up the hour of their recent dance, thereby enabling their lucky guests to snatch another snooke before the noisy milk-man begins his bottle-rattling. How those Martins do get about! A summer never passes, without finding the Hamilton Martins of New Jersey Avenue, here there, everywhere over the good U.S. A last summer Mr. and Mrs. Charles Adams and family (the Mrs. is a Martin, you know) saw a great big part of the West, while Rosa (Mrs. Thomas) and Miss Corine, two other Martin sisters, visited Florida. And the only thing that kept them from going on to Cuba was the unsettled conditions of affairs that existed there at that particular time. Now Miss Kate (another Martin, of course) is getting ready to see New Orleans and the famed Mardi Gras. CHUMS RE-ORGANIZE The Chums meet now every two weeks on Wednesday nights instead of every three weeks. At the last meeting Mrs. Josephine Edwards was hostess at the residence of Mrs. West, 745 Park Road, Northwest. This week Miss Ruth Hoffman entertained the Chums.

UNION FAVORS MEASURE The Lineoin-Dougias-Negro History Week Celebration at Armstrong Night School was held, in the auditorium ‘Thursday, Tho progarm was featured ‘by an inspiring address by Charles M. Thomas, specialist in history, eivies and ceonomies at the Armstrong ‘Technival High School. After being presented by the prin- cipal, Cato W. Adams, Mr, ‘Thomas chose his subject from a pas-af of the Seriptures, ‘Much has been given to you and much is expected of you."? He charged his hearors to instruet their children ta be somebody becanse such was expected of them. ‘*Three hundred different kinds of Negroes were brought over from Africa between the years 1618 and 1860 from various parts of that eon- tinent.’’ said the speaker, A value was placed upon them—that value of heing wanted. ‘They were wanted he- cause of their eapacity to toil. No other group could have come here and fumed the South into a garden Paradise. History Atgynen He also spoke of th®part the Negro played in the American armies, sketeh- ing their valors in the conflicts from the Revolutionary War to the World War and cited instances in whieh the Negro beeume issues that changed the whole complexion of American history, Commenting on the difference in temperaments between the Afro- American and the Anglo-Saxon he said, ‘The two dispositions are dia- metrically opposed to each other, ‘The Negro camo from a land of sun- shine and plenty, ‘There wes uo need for greed, The earth produced abun- dantly und the people basked in the light of happiness and joy. On the other hand the white man was foreed into # spirit of stinginess and selfish mess. Therefore the colored man is a great possibility in that he was able to adapt himself to almost impossible conditions he has eadured, he has helped to make America and has never heen proved the problem pictured by less fertile minds,’” ‘The following program was spon- sored by tho Extra-Activities Commit tee compased of Miss V.

EIGHT RETIRED TEACHER DIES SUDDENLY AT S. E. HOME Miss Mary E. Wilson Was Outstanding in Civic, Church Activities Funeral services for Miss Mary E. Wilson, for 31 years a outstanding District public school teacher and life long resident of Southeast Washington, were held Sunday with the Rev. John S. Miller, acting pastor of the Rehoboth Baptist Church, officiating. The Rev. Mr. Miller was assisted by the Rev. James T. McGee. Interment was at the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Miss Wilson died at her late residence 108 D Street, Southeast, last Thursday, after an illness of short duration. Appointed by the School Board September 11, 1898, Miss Wilson served in the local educational system for 31 years until her retirement in 1929. At the time of her retirement she was supervising principal of the John F. Cook School. Prior to her promotion to supervising principal of Cook, Miss Wilson was principal of the Bell School in Southwest Washington where she spent most of her 31 years of teaching. She once taught at the Garnet School. Was Civic Worker A native of the Southeast section Miss Wilson was actively engaged in community center work, civic affairs and the welfare work among children of the Southeast and Southwest sections. She was associated with many of the civic activities and influential in the religious activities of the Rehoboth Baptist Church where she was a member. Upon her retirement from the school system, numerous testimonials and loving cups were presented her in honor of her fine and outstanding work. Normal School Grad Miss Wilson was educated in Washington public schools and Miner Normal School from which she was graduated in 1888. She later attended Howard University and received her A.B. degree in 1918. She also studied extension courses from Columbia University. She was an ardent church worker and served as Superintendent of the Sunday School. Surviving Miss Wilson are two cousins, Charles and Harry Wilson. Jim Crow in PWA Jobs Halted by Administrator In a letter to all field offices of the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, over the signature of Phillip B. Fleming, acting deputy administrator has the following to say anent the question of discrimination toward applicants for work: "Instances have come to our attention of alleged discrimination against employment of Negroes on Public Works projects. In this connection your attention is called to the following section which appears in all non-Federal Public Works contracts: "There shall be extended to every person who performs the work of a laborer or a mechanic on the project or on any part thereof the benefits of the labor wage provisions of this contract, regardless of any contractual relationship between the employer and such laborer or mechanic. There shall be no discrimination in the selection of labor on the ground of race, creed or color!" Southern Press Report Sought for Lynch Bill Realizing that the passage of an anti-lynch bill now before Congress is virtually impossible without some support from Southern Democrats, the "Social Action" Committee for the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity is making a drive to force through public pressure such support from certain Southehn Representatives. The "Social Action" Committee called to Washington at the order of President Jesse Lewis drew up a definite course to be followed in gaining this support. The chief attack in this program is to urge the Southern newspapers to give editorials in favor of an anti-lynch measure and against the crime of lynching. Accordingly, fifty-five of the leading dailies of the South have been written letters and the representatives of the local chapters of the fraternity which are scattered throughout the South are to follow up these letters by delegations to the editors of the journals. 150 Gambling Raids in D.C. Last Year There were approximately 150 nailed on gambling places in the District of Columbia in 1934, the members of Congress investigating crime in the city were fold by Lieutenant George C. Little during one of last week's hearings at the Old House Office Building. The veteran police officer followed this with a statement to the effect that there was less gambling on in Washington now than at any time during his stay on the force. Insurance Co. President Started Ethel Waters on Road to Fame Harry H. Pace, Head of Supreme Liberty Life Company, Tells of Early Life as Head of Record Concern at Banquet Given in His Honor Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, of Chicago, was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered him by agents and officer of the Washington office of the company Monday evening at the Calvert Restaurant. Mr. Pace, known for his versatility, brought out the startling information that he was the "finder" of Ethel Waters, well known stage, movie and radio star. "FOUND" ETHEL WATERS During his address Mr. Pace disclosed the fact that he discovered the famous star during 1912,' just before he launched the Okeh Record Company, manufacturers of Black Swan Records. He was in Atlantic City at that time he said his attention was called to a girl who was singing in a music hall, and "picking up nickels and dimes." "I readily saw that this girl had something different and offered her a chance to go to New York." Miss Waters refused the offer at first, but later accepted. The first record made by Miss Waters was a blues number and 250-000 were sold the first six months, said Mr. Pace. This was the starting point in the career of the singer that has kept her before the public and in the forefront since that time. Before entering the insurance field, Mr.' Pace was bank cashier, choir singer and writer of songs. He collaborated with Phillip Handy and published the "St. Louis Blues." He said the song is still returning royalties of from $3,000 to $5,000 a year. He and Mr. Handy wrote the song one Sunday morning after attending a church service. In speaking of the insurance company which he heads, he stated that U. S. COURT HEARS SCOTTSBORO PLEA Lawyer Tells Members of Tribunal Boy's Rights Were Denied Attorney Samuel S. Leibowitz, who defended the Scottsboro boys in both of their trials at Decatur, Ala., made his first appearance for them before the United States Supreme Court, when on Thursday he charged that Clarence Norris had been denied his constitutional rights because of race. He made a similar plea in the case of Heywood Patterson. The brilliant criminal lawyer, who was brought into the Supreme Court angle of the case by the American Scottsboro Committee, after the ILD had withdrawn its lawyers, charged that the names of six Negroes had been forged on the jury rolls by county officials in Alabama. He submitted a large book containing the jury rolls of Jackson county in making his charges and the judges appeared keenly interested. Mr. Leibowitz was assisted by Gen. George W. Chamlee and by Attorney Walter H. Poack, constitutional authority, formerly retained for the ILD, who presented a brief argument upon the constitutionality of the case. George F. Haynes represented the American Scottsboro Committee at the hearing. Description of Mexico Heard at Washington Forum "Mexico Today," was described as a country healthful in climate, entrancing in natural beauty, and rich in mineral wealth, by Linn A. E. Gale, president of the Washington Open Forum, in an address to the Civic National Forum at the St. Mark's Baptist Church, 1418 Q Street, Northwest, Sunday. The speaker said that the native population, for the most part, was ignorant, priest-ridden, and wretched; but such conditions are not due to any innate racial inferiority. Any advocacy of racial inferiority would prove to be a myth and a delusion. Fortunately, however, the present trend of the national system, politically and socially, is toward progress and true democracy. Morris Lewis, Jr., formerly of Chicago but now of this city, will be guest speaker on "Parliamentary Law. Its Practice and Advantages," Sunday. The Rev, B. F. Gant is pastor of the church. Fined $50 For Trying to Get Permit by Fraud Garrett Williams, of the, 1100 block of Fifth Street, was sentenced by Judge Ralph Given in Traffic Court, Saturday to pay a fine of $50 for attempting to obtain an operator's permit for Alpheus Gibson, of the same address. Williams, it was charged filled out the application in Gibson's name. It developed that Gibson could neither read or write or operate a car. The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 23, 1935 the income in the industrial department was $102,000 more this year than it was in 1933. He said $90,000 in industrial policies were written with a gain of 26,000 more persons insured. At the present there are 44,000 policy holders in the company. He cited the fact that the company has paid off all of its debts and is now "worried with the problems of investments." URGES NEGRO PATRONAGE Mr. Pace urged the patronage of Negro business by Negroes. He said "we will never become a commercial people until we learn to pay the price. Walk a block around the corner to patronize our own—that way you can create enough employment to employ all the boys and girls until that time comes when we shall become an independent race." Other speakers were Dean William West, of Howard University; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard; Jesse W. Lewis, head of the School of Commerce, Howard; Belford V. Lawson, Jack Fortune, of the Baltimore office of the company who responded to the address by Mr. Pace; T. R. Eaton, of Maryland; Mrs. Florence Collins; E. C. Wilson, of Baltimore, and Garland Maekey, of The Washington Tribune. STEVENSON PRESIDES William Stevenson, superintendent of the District office, was master of ceremonies. Musical numbers were furnished by members of the local agency force. It was reported at the meeting that William Stevenson and L. R. Finley were the leaders in Washington in writing ordinary insurance. They wrote $8,500 and $7,500 respectively in a period of two weeks. Earlier in the day Mr. Pace addressed the class in business and commerce at Howard University. 199 RECRUITS IN ALEXANDRIA CCC School CCC 1371 Camp S.P.

These were read by F.D. Wilkinson, Howard University registrar. Kelly Miller Toastmaster Dr. Kelly Miller, former head of the department of Sociology, Howard University, acted as master of ceremonies. He was introduced by Bishop E.W.D.

Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General in Baltimore extolled Mr. DrPriest for "reopening West Point, the military pride of American aristocracy" to "all the citizens of the nation." Honorable Hubert Delaney, youthful member of the New York State Legislature, paid tribute to the former congressman as "a representative of all the Negroes in the United States." Should Represent Group "No Negro congressman, nor any other congressman for that matter," Mr. Delaney said, "should feel that he has a right to confine his activities to the interest of any particular district and allow 15,000,000 American citizens to go unrepresented." Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, founder and president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, expressed gratification at being able to share in paying homage to a man whom she declared is "more honored, loved and revered than any statesman since Frederick Douglass."

Howard, national Republican committeeman from Mississippi and former assistant to the Attorney General, when called upon to speak.

The younger DePriest opened an emotional address of introduction with tribute to his mother and grandmother, Mrs. Margaret DePriest. Son Pays Homage He then introduced his father "not as a proud son of a noble father, but as just another admirer of the steel-haired monarch of the Republican west." Mr. DePriest in a brief but fiery talk declared he was grateful for the words of praise and that he was not discouraged. He promised to take up the same battle he began when a member of Congress. "I have no criticism for my competitor," he declared. "I sincerely hope he does well, make a record for himself. While I am out of Congress I shallravel America with the hope of making Negroes throughout the country race-conscious. Colored people of this country need all the leadership they can get." Would Renew Fight Among several things for which he intends to fight should he be returned to Congress, Mr. DePriest said are: (1) equal distribution of federal funds for education of the American youth (he offered examples of the larger amounts expended in the interest of white youth over colored); (2) proper use of the ballot, and (3) corrective Civil Service legislation.

COTTON CLUB IS GIVEN LICENSE TO SELL LIQUOR The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board issued a Class C license to the Cotton Club, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest for the sale and disposition of liquor at the establishment, last week. The permit was given with the stipulation that the sale of drinks there would not start before 10:30 p.m. on week days, except on Saturdays when sale would not begin until 10.00 p.m. These provisions were set up by the board because of protests in the past that sale of drinks at the club would be a bad influence on school children who frequent the neighborhood. The late evening hours were set for starting sales on the theory that by that time school children would be at their homes. Issuance of the permit for the sale of hard liquor at the club has been protested by the Board of Education, North Central Civic Association, citizens in the neighborhood of the club and the Federation of Civic Associations. 22 Scarlet Fever Cases Reported Here in Week Twenty-two cases of scarlet fever and 51 of chicken pox were reported to the Health Department during the week ending February 2, according to the weekly statistical report of Dr. Edward J.

In January 1935, the house cared for 181 individual pupils. Many of these participated in two, three and often more activities. Of these children only 44 represented paid memberships. Seeks Expansion The membership drive is an attempt to obtain memberships for those who can not afford to pay and also to raise the Southeast Houses's share of funds for the Community Chest in order that it might secure its quota from the chest. The Southeast House is asking its friends to support it in its campaign so that its work will not only be continued but also expanded. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR LINCOLN HELD BY G.P.O. WORKERS Attorney W. F. Shellman Lauds Emancipator at Church Meeting Extolling Abraham Lincoln for his love of human liberty and his ability to set forth his ideas in convincing language, Attorney Wilfred F. Shellman, local lawyer, addressed the employees of the Government Printing Office in a memorial to the Great Emancipator, Sunday, at the Mount Zion M.E. Church, Twenty-ninth and O Streets, Northwest.

GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC PROBLEM CHILD TO BE STUDIED IN HEALTH TEST PROBLEM CHILD TO BE STUDIED IN HEALTH TEST Examination of 200 Pupils at Randall School to Begin Wednesday Final plans were being completed this week for the Randall Junior High School health survey, in which a diagnostic clinic will be held on 200 pupils so the seventh grade under the direction of the Public Health Committee of the Southwest Civic Association, Dr. George L. Johnson, secretary of the committee, announced this week. Scheduled to start, Wednesday, February 27, it is estimated that it will take two months to complete the study. Test to Be Thorough In addition to an eye, ear, nose and throat, heart and lung, urin-survey, will feature a neurological survey will feature a neurological examination of problem children, orthopedic examination for posture and deformities, and a tuberculosis case finding procedure including clinical examination, tuberculin test, and X-ray of positive reactors to the tuberculin test. The Southwest Civic Association's procedure for detecting early case finding procedure including tuberculosis has been modeled after a plan used and recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in an examination of 100,000 school children in 1924. Parents Must Sign Blanks No child will be examined unless the parents or guardian have signed a blank giving permission for examination. Parents will be encouraged to accompany their children to the examination. No treatment is to be prescribed. The result of the examination will be made available to the family physician upon request.

Harper. Other physicians and dentists who are members of the Medico-Chirurgical and the Robert T. Freeman Dental societies are being invited to volunteer their professional services for the clinic. Commends Committee In a letter to Dr. Johnson last week, commending the committee on its progressive efforts, Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, said in part: "This health examination is very timely. It comes at the very moment that a new health officer reports for duty with the District government; it comes at the very time that the superintendent of schools has appointed a committee of officers and teachers to study the course of health and physical education for the entire school system, and to submit a revised plan to him for the consideration of the Board of Education. Undoubtedly your findings will be of great value to our school committee in the revision of tur program."

His subject will be "Industrial Problems and the Ne- EW RU Represent Economy To District Representative Says Economy Act Applies To District of Columbia Newspaper Writer Asks Some Pertinent Questions About Drastic Sentence of Colored Man RALEIGH, N.C. (ANP)—Frank Smethurst, writing in The News and Observer of this city, calls attention to a court case in which Alex Morrison, a colored man at Wilson, was sentenced to four months on the roads for stealing a 15-cent bag of meal. Smethurst asks: "Would the same stern law prevail, for instance, if the thief had been a white man?" Would not a fair respect for principle dictate a consideration of the essential circumstances surrounding the stealing? Smethurst asks, and continues: "Why did the Negro steal a 15-cent bag of meal? "Was he hungry and jobless? "Was he merely worthless? "How did he come to be hungry and jobless or even worthless?" and jobless or even worthless? "Will a four months' sentence to the roads make him less ready to steal another bag of meal when a gain he is free and hungry? "If he is merely worthless, a thieving nuisance who stole the bag of meal because it was the thing immediately most easily stolen, will four months on the roads make him less so? "I would make a terribly poor judge, I might suspend sentence on an automobile driver who ignored the law and the principle of the law when he crashed into another car at 60 miles an hour and killed a man, but I would never sentence an ignorant Negro to four months on the roads for stealing 15 cents worth of meal." "Big Time" Racketeers Are White, Report Shows Although names of some of few colored racketeers have been mentioned in some small degree during the hearings on local crime conditions being conducted by the House District Sub-committee, the report that they are actuality as the investigation progresses. Late last week, Congressman William T. Schulte, Indiana Democrat, collaborated with Lieutenant George C. Little to name Sam Beard, "Jew Boy" Dietz, Jimmy Cullee, Mickey McDonald and Jimmie LaFontaine as the "big shots" in Washington and the vicinity hereabouts. The names of the principals involved in operation of rackets among Negroes here were requested, but the general answer seemed to infer that colored operators were lesser lights. Magnolia Council Elks Hold Regular Meeting Magnolia Council Daughters of Elks held its regular meeting at 1536 Q Street, Northwest, last Wednesday.

Depression Children Face Abnormal Existence Thousands of children born during depression years have never known what it is to have a father with a job or what it is to live in a household not on relief. The harassments of this abnormal existence endanger the entire future of the children subjected to them. With a view to forestalling as much as possible the effects of these conditions, approximately 1,700 nursery schools instituted as work projects are caring for about 50,000 small children. The nursery schools are operated by the local relief administrations under the various State relief administrations receiving Federal relief funds. THEATRE S SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE ULING ntative Says Act Applies t of Columbia NINE Corporation Counsel Says His Opinion Misinterpreted by Board 7 TEACHERS SEEK REINSTATEMENT Youth Who Sought to Enter Miner for Special Subjects Barred A number of former public school teachers who resigned their jobs to protect their husbands who were employed in the government service found themselves in a quandary this week after Representative John J. Cochran, chairman of the House Committee on Expenditures in Executive Departments, sent a statement to the Board of Education, Wednesday, saying that man to mean that an Economy Act does apply to the District." Several teachers resigned in order to save their husbands' positions. Several weeks ago the board interpreted a report by Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman to mean that a Economy Act did not apply to the District. When this was published all of the teachers sought reinstatement. Upholds Bride Prettyman explained that his advice to the board in one specific case had been misinterpreted to apply generally, and that, in fact, he had not reversed the ruling of former Corporation Counsel William W. Bride on September 22, 1933, upholding the law applying to married teachers. Representative Cochran wrote to the Board of Education that he disagreed with their recent action holding married teachers may be employed regardless of whether their husbands are in the government service. Board Takes Precautions However, the board approved a report of the Personnel Committee which stated that the resigned teachers must secure letters from the government stating the status of their husbands and insuring the board that the teachers would not have to resign again if they are reinstated. The superintendent of schools was instructed to secure from the Board of Examiners a review of the eligibility status of each applicant respecting her qualifications for teaching positions. The report of the Personnel Committee also pointed out that the teachers reached their decision "between husband and wife without the participation of the school authorities." Clerks are Out The two clerks to resign, Mrs. Eunita Y. Taylor and Mrs. Lena M. Cobb, will have to qualify again for appointment. The teachers who seek reinstatement are Mrs. Iola R. Clark, Mrs. B. L. Brandon, Mrs. Slyvia P. Patterson, Mrs. L. W. Smith, Mrs. M. E. Miltner, Mrs. Madeline C. Lilly and Mrs. H. F. Brunhouse. The specific case that Prettyman said he had reference to was that of Mrs. Eva Honesty, a married teacher, who was the only person on her particular eligibility list. The board passed over her name, although there were no other eligible teachers in that classification at that time. Mrs. Honesty sued and Prettyman held that inasmuch as the board had no preference among eligible teachers, Mrs. Honesty was entitled to her place. Prettyman said he had not reversed Mr. Bride's opinion. Student Barred The board on the recommendation of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, refused to permit Blanchard F. Lloyd to enter Miner Teachers' College to take special subjects. Lloyd holds a degree from another institution and seeks to take several subjects at the college in order that he might qualify to teach in Washington. Allowing Lloyd to enter the school "would make teachers colleges coaching schools for teachers' examinations," said Dr. Ballou. He was given permission to register as a regular student and take all of the required work, but Lloyd refused this offer. It was said that the youth did not want a degree at Miner College, but just wanted enough subjects to get a job in the school system. The superintendent was of the opinion that such a procedure would develop into general confusion and chaos with the limited (Continued on page 2)
