CRAWFORD ALIBI FALSE, SAYS HOUSTON Washington News NOW ONLY 5C BINGA IS DENIED NEW TRIAL, FACES TERM IN PRISON CHICAGO (ANP)—Jesse Binga, founder and president of the now defunct Binga State Bang, was denied a new trial in an opinion rendered Thursday by the Illinois Supreme Court. After the bank closed in July, 1930, Binga faced two trials for embezzlement. The first case ended in jury disagreement and a mistrial. At the second hearing, in October, 1933, Binga was convicted of embezzling $32,500 belonging to investors in the proposed South Park National Bank, and was sentenced to a term of one to ten years in the penitentiary. Since that time he has been out of prison on bond, pending appeal to the high court. Binga's Bank was the first of thirteen institutions on Chicago's Southside to feel the effects of the depression. It was closed after examiners discovered that it did not have sufficient liquid assets to meet its obligations. After the bank was closed, an investigation was conducted to discover if the affairs of the bank had been mismanaged. It was charged after this investigation that Binga had, in a high-handed manner, made free use of the bank's resources and had thereby jeopardized its standing. Edward H. Morris, fraternal leader and lawyer, was made receiver for the bank. Binga turned over most of his real estate assets to the receiver. Supposed to amount to three cents of a million dollars, to guarantee depositors against does. But to date Mr. Morris has only been able to pay depositors twelve per cent. Binga's property was turned over to ex-Congressman Oscar DePriest for management. After his conviction, Binga charged that DePriest had not managed it efficiently and complained because of the small income derived. Agents of DePriest, who had handled the property and legal work for him, denied Binga's charges and insisted that the nature of the property and the condition of the times had caused the income to shrink to almost nothing. Classes in Child Care to Be Held for Mothers on Relief Volunteer Social Workers Who Have Had Special Training in This Field Will Assist in New Educational Program Expert instruction in child care and training will be given to women clients of the District Emergency Relief Division, of which Miss M. Alice Hill is the director. The new classes will be combined with the cooking classes under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Ansley, white, local relief dietitian, and supervisor of the District relief's free lunches for needy school children. To Aid Parents Volunteer social workers who have had special training in child care and home economics will assist Mrs. Ansley in this educational program. Their aim is to help parents rear their children with sound health, good character and training that will fit them to take their places in the world as they find it. Case workers and the supervisors of the nine relief stations of the Emergency Relief Division are advising and encouraging their clients to attend the classes. The training and guidance offered will be of especial benefit to many mothers who find themselves harassed by food problems and difficulties with young children. Balanced Diet Stressed In the cooking classes hundreds of housewives have learned to select and prepare nourishing food for inexpensive meals. Many were spending too much on meat and not enough on vegetables, fruit cereals and milk. "We want to help parents to understand themselves, to understand children and their problems, to enrich the total life of the family," Mrs. Amley said last week, explaining the purpose of the new program. The most important period in VOL. XIV, No. 44 FRATERNITY UNIT SPLIT OVER ISSUE Kappa Delegates Object Membership Clause in Constitution Disagreement over the membership clause of the constitution of the newly organized Council of National Greek Letter Fraternities and Sororities reached a climax at the first formal meeting of the unit, early th' week, and resulted in the delegates from the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity walking out of the session held at the latter fraternity's house, 911 T Street, Northwest. Although the constitution of the new body had been formally adopted by a unanimous vote at a previous meeting of the Council, delegates from the Kappa Fraternity took exception to the membership clause on the grounds that it provided "unequal representation." The constitution provides that the membership shall consist of two representatives from each chapter of the 9 fraternities and sororities in the Council. Omega Gets Six Under the terms of such a provision, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity thus had six delegates in the Council wherein no other Greek Letter unit had more than four representatives because no fraternity or sorority with the exception of Omega has more than two chapters. In the city The Omegas have three chapters. No special provision was made in the constitution to eliminate greater representation on the part of the Omegas and the Kappa delegates charged this constituted "unequal representation." After wrangling over the point with the temporary chairman, Jessie W. Lewis, national Phi Beta Stigma, president, and appealing twice to the Council on Mr. Lewis's decisions only to have the Council sustain the chairman's rulings, the Kappa delegates declared they were not in harmony with the body and withdrew from the meeting. The Council was also informed that the matter would be retrieved to the local Kappa chanters for further consideration. Kappa Man Elected Prior to the walkout by Kappa delegates, the Council elected the following officers by accepting the report of the Nominating Committee unanimously; Belford V. Lawn, Alpha Phi Alpha, president; Mrs, Grace Collins, Delta Sigma son, Alpha Phi Alpha, president; Attorney Edward Lovett, Kappa Alpha Psi, financial secretary; Mrs, Delliah Williams Myles, Alpha Kappa Alpha, treasurer; and Frederick W. Weaver, Omega Psi Phi, publicity director. W. H. HASTIE IS OUIETLY MARRIED Assistant Interior Dep't. Solicitor Weds Former Miss Alma Syphax William H.

Washington Tribune To Aid Parents Balanced Diet Stressed ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL "DAD" GRACE ACOUITTED BY COURT The Appellate Division of New York Supreme Court, Monday, unanimously affirmed the decision of the lower court acquitting bishop Charles Manuel Grace, rounder and head of the House or prayer, on a paternity charge in connection with the child of Minnie Lee Campbell, 20-year-old former piano player in the Bishop's church, according to word received here. The lower court freed the Bishop on the charge last Spring buttorneys for the girl appealed the verdict to the higher court. The Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the U. S. Branch Federal Court in New York and discharged an indictment for violation of the Mann Act against the Bishop which grew out of alleged improprieties with the same girl.

OVERHEATED STOVE 'CAUSES FIRE An overheated stove in the dwelling at 1226 Sixth-and-half Street, Northwest, caused a fire which damaged the premises and the wall of the house at 1228 Sixth-and-a half Street. Care to Be Mothers on Relief Who Have Had Special Field Will Assist inional Program any child's life is the period from birth to six years of age, she stated. But if the habits set up in this period are to function properly, the training must be kept up during the period from six to twelve years of age. The first period is above all others the one for setting up correct health habits. These include habits of eating, sleeping and resting. It is important at this time that the child be taught to drink enough milk—at least one pint a day—and eat the right amounts of fresh vegetables. Train Health Habits On the child's health habits will depend his resistance to disease at school age. The resistance of his teeth to decay also will depend upon the same habits, according to specialists in child care. Children whose elimination habits have not been set up correctly and who are undernourished often spend their first year in school having temper spells, stomach upsets and spells of fatigue. They may learn little or nothing except a dislike for school and everything that it represents. Home Life Helped Mrs. Anslop's work will dovetail with that of the 10 nursery schools under the joint supervision of the District Emergency Relief Administration and the Board of Education. Classes for clients of the Georgetown relief station are held every Tuesday morning at the Epiphany Church. 2712 Dumbarton Avenue. Those for clients in the northwest section of the city meet on Tuesday afternoons, at the U Street relief station; other classes will be organized at the Banncker and Central relief stations. Classes are held at the Southwest station every Wednesday afternoon. P. DR. MARIE B.

CAVANAUGH MOUTON The National Builders Association recently held a three-day conference in Hampton Institute at which time mechanics and builders in the building and construction industry from various parts of the country attended. Prominent among the guests present were Howard D. Woodson, vice president of the national body and vice president of the Washington, D.C. chapter, on which he rendered a report, showing its growth from 75 members to 400 members. Mr. Woodson was elected president of the national body, the headquarters of which will be transferred to Washington in the very near future. Thomas Carey, financial secretary of the local body, was appointed a member of the executive board of the national group. Mr. Woodson was accompanied by his son, Paul, and J. Alonzo Plater. At a recent card tournament given by the Washington Chapter a haul, a shoulder, a chicken, one pound of coffee, five pounds of sugar, a box of candy, an electric iron and toaster were given away as prizes. This marked the sixth of the series of tournaments that began November 23. The Rev. Robert W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, read a message from President Roosevelt to the Committee on Religious Life in the Nation's Capital during a meeting of that body last Monday in the United States Chamber of Commerce Auditorium. The meeting was composed of Washington clergymen including Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew. The importance of religion and church attendance was stressed. Among the noted churchmen present were Rabbi Abram Simon, of the Washington Hebrew Congregation; the Rev. Dr. John K. Cartwright, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception; the Rev. Carl C. Rasmussen, pastor of the Memorial Lutheran Church; the Rev, Anson P. Stokes, canon of the Washington Cathedral; the Right Rev, James E. Freeman, Episcopal Bishop of Washington; the Rev, James S. Montgomery, chaplain of the House of Representatives, and the Dr. Brooks. The message from President Roosevelt follows: "It seems to me highly significant that the ministers of religions in Washington—Protestant, Catholic and Jewish—have with such unanimity agreed to cooperate in promoting a movement whose purpose is to encourage religion and church attendance, without any compromising of their own convictions or interfering with their own methods of work and worship. "In a nation like ours, where church and state are and must remain independent, it is highly important that our churches—using the word in the broadest sense—should feel their responsibility for strengthening those spiritual ideals of worship and service so essential to our highest welfare as a nation."

Old-age Bill Would Fix 65 as Age at Which a Person Would Be Eligible Congressman in Home Coming Address Tells What He Has Done CHICAGO. — Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell returned to "his district" over the week-end and took up the task of "vindicating" himself of the charges which he claimed "lying newspapers" had spread about him since he left the city. Sunday afternoon he appeared before the members of the Second Ward Democratic organization which stood behind him in his race for Congress, returned his thanks to them for their services, and proceeded forthwith to set up what he has done and has not done against what some newspapers have said he has done and has not done. Facts Set to "Music" Although a vein of humor ran throughout his address, the flow of humor was interrupted many times as he made bitter attacks against his newspaper enemies. First, he claimed that they were not satisfied to publish the facts of his record and let them stand or fall of their own weight, but insisted on "setting the facts to music."

Hawkins' Report Shows $30,000 Increase The most important event at the Bishops' Council of the A.M.E. Church which was held in Little Rock, Ark, last week was the report of the connectional funds of $30,000 over the amount reported last year. Dr. Hawkins received a great ovation. He is now completing his twentieth year as head of the financial department and his forty-ninth year as a general officer of the church. The General Conference will be held in New York City in May. Dr. William H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, addressed an assembly of students at the Dunbar Junior College and High School. Domestics and I From Unemploy Millions of Negroes Will Be Change. Old-age Bill Which a Person W Farmers, domestics and workers in small establishments and chari- table institutions were removed Thursday, by the House Ways and Means Committee from the realm of unemployment insurance as bounded by the Administration's so- cial security plan. To carry out the decision the committee voted to exempt from the taxes by which the fund for paying insurance would be maintained, employers of farm and domestic help, employers of fewer than ten, and all nonprofit or charitable institutions. Originally it would have covered employers of four or more persons in all of the classifications To Affect Millions No estimate of the number of persons affected by the committee change was available, except that it would run into several millions. While the Ways and Means Committee was reshaping the social security bill, copies of the drafts of model State bills that have been prepared by Administration experts became available for the first time. Two model State unemployment insurance bills, one covering a pool fund system and the other a plant account system, have been prepared. Suggestions for a State old-age assistance law also have been drawn up. There are ready to be put before the State Legislatures by the State directors of the emergency council as soon as the administration is certain of the form of the national unemployment insurance and old-age pension laws will take. The bills were drawn. Dr. Edwin F. White, director of the economic Dr. Thompkins Extols Roosevelt, Urges Race Consciousness on Tour In Answering Critics Houston Says Murderer's Boston Alibi Was Not True Charles H. Houston, chief defense counsel in the George Crawford case, hit back at critics who attack his handling of the sensational case which attracted national attention. Two white women in recent articles repeatedly charged Houston, who is vice dean of the Howard University Law School, with failure to inject the Boston alibi witnesses into the case. These women claimed there were persons in Boston who could testify that Crawford was in that city when the two white women were murdered in Virginia. Alibi Was False Houston for the first time has exposed the fact that Crawford was in Virginia at the time of the double murder and the Boston alibi witnesses were unknowingly telling a falsehood. Houston has been repeatedly assailed by Communist writers and speakers since he broke with the International Labor Defense during the trial of Bernard Ades, white Baltimore lawyer, who was facing disbarment proceedings in that city. Ades represented Euel Lee who was hung in Baltimore for the murder of a white farmer. The Baltimore bar sought to have Ades disbarred for alleged misconduct during the trial of Lee. Houston left Ades' defense when the two failed to agree on procedure. Attacked Women Houston gave the following statement to The Tribune in reference to the George Crawford Boston witnesses: In December, 1933, George Crawford was tried and convicted in Leesburg Virginia, for the murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley. His defense was under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with the undersigned and his associates in active charge. Misses Martha Gruening and Helen Boardman were dissatisfied with the outcome of the matter, and (Continued on page 2) security committee, said, to meet all requirements of the Federal measure. Two Plans Prepared Under the pooled fund plan, all contributions would be paid into a single, undivided fund with no segregation of the amounts paid in by each employer. Benefits would be paid from the pooled fund to eligible employees. Under the plant reserves plan, the total contributions paid into the State fund would be pooled, but the major part of each employer's contributions would be segregated within the fund and benefits paid from an employer's account only to his own eligible employees. The pooled fund plan calls for a 3 per cent pay roll tax on the employers, but optional sections were incorporated under which the States might make their rates conform to the varying rates of the national measure up until 1938, when its 3 per cent rates come into effect. Another optional provision would have the employers contribute 1 per cent of their wages. To Aid Those at 65 The old-age bill would fix 65 as the age at which a person would be eligible for benefits. That person must: Have an inadequate income; be a citizen of the United States, and have been a resident of the State for at least five years within the ten years prior to filing application. The amount of the assistance to be paid would be left to the local old-age assistance agency subject to rules of the State welfare department. Deeds Recorder, Through Florida on Good Will, Cites F. D.'s Success NEW DEAL LIKENED TO RACE'S GOD-SEND Continuing his good-will tour through the State of Florida, Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, early this week addressed a large and enthusiastic Tampa audience. He had previously spoken to a receptive gathering at Miami Dr. Thompkins's trip, sponsored by civic and fraternal organizations of this and other cities, carried him into the Lyric Theatre at Miami on Monday. A crowded St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Tampa, heard him on Thursday. The deeds recorder who has been working feverishly in behalf of a program that will provide the many racial needs for health betterment in the District of Columbia, went into more worldly subjects during his remarks of the two meetings already mentioned. He admonished his listeners to become more interested in national affairs and politics. Extols Roosevelt Dr. Thompkins for 12 years has been an assistant sergeant-at-army at Democratic National conventions and was one of two Negro delegates to the Democratic National convention at Houston, Texas. It was to be expected, therefore, that his first tribute should be paid to the administration. He first expressed gratification at the success being made of the executive undertaking by President Roosevelt. He spoke of how the nation had been gradually brought out of the state of chaos in which the president found it on the eve of his inauguration. Then he ex-tolled the chief executive for his intelligent leadership. "Know the truth," Dr. Thompkins urged, "and the truth shall set you free. President Roosevelt is the greatest humanitarian ever to sit in the White House. There are two purposes to which he has dedicated himself. One is to stop suffering and want and need, and the other is the rehabilitation of this nation, and lifting the country out of depression." Talks of New Deal He did not dwell too long on this aspect of national affairs, however. He soon went into a discussion of the New Deal and what it should mean to Negroes, Answering a question he put to himself, he said, "It should mean correct political orientation, forgetfulness of past political blunders, and forming alliances with your neighbors not only in the field of industry and finance, but in the field of politics." "No man can be a good citizen," he remarked, "unless he is intelligently interested in political development. "The New Deal" he went on, "so all-embracing in its comprehensiveness, has put in the city of Washington 25 distinguished representatives of the race, and they do not merely sign their names on paper. They hold eminent executive positions requiring such technical training as architects, engineers, lawyers, linquists and educators.

The petition for the lunacy proceedings was filed through Attorneys Nathan A. Dobbin and Otho D. Branson, who said that Stillwell had been examined by Dr. George Little, whose opinion was that his mental condition had led to offenses with which he was charged. Stillwell was said by police to have been involved in several score burglaries. His subpoena came from his reputed practice of blocking locks (which he had forced to enter apartments) with toothpicks, to guard against the possibility of their being unlocked while he was at work. WHITE PASTORS ASKED TO AID ANTI-LYNCHING Civic League Makes Move to Arouse Congregations in Mob Fight LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Urging to set aside the Sunday of March 17 as a day of "prayer and preaching against America's most notorious practice," the influence of the Christian church in Los Angeles was sought by the Los Angeles Civic League this week in arousing California public opinion towards the support of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. In a letter sent to twenty-five leading white ministers, pastors of churches in the Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood, the league asks that at least one of the services of March 17 be devoted to the making of an "indignant protest to mob violence." "The influence of the Christian church," the letter said, "has always been effective in enlarging the protection which the Negro race enjoys in American life. It was instrumental, more so than that of any other social institution, in accelerating the emancipation of the race from the bonds of chatel slavery. It has been powerful in making free education available to the race in many sections. "Now it is needed to wipe out the blackest crime in the United States—the practice of lynching, through which often innocent victims are illegally put to death by handfuls of rabid citizens in open defiance of the courts, the judges who preside over them, and the duly constituted police power of the state. "We respectfully urge that as the spiritual leader of a congregation of our most influential white citizens that one of the services to your calendar of March 17, morning or evening, be devoted to making a strong protest against lynching," the letter concludes. Willingness to send a speaker from the organization was also expressed in the letter, drawn up by a committee consisting of Miss Fay M. Jackson, Pacific Coast representative of the Associated Negro Press, Loren Miller, city editor the Sentinel, and Chauncey Townsend managing editor, California News all members of the League's executive council.

Smith Admonishes Pastors to Keep Faith Telling the ministers what they will yeap if they don't quit the Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, preached the weekly sermon at the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Monday. Urgging the pastors to keep faith with God, the Metropolitan pastor declared there are some bad members in the church just as there are some good but, informed the ministers, that if they were to stop trusting anyone they might as well quit. CHURCHES Egotism A man who visited a college in a small western city observed two pictures painted on the wall of the reception room. This college taught students the art of curing disease by manipulation of bones, muscles and nerves. One picture was a likeness of Jesus. The other, alongside and of equal size, was a likeness of the president of the college. Under the picture of Jesus was printed "He cured many," and under the picture of the president was the line "I cure all." This thought brings us to the fact that many ministers preach more "me" and "I" than they do "God." Some people have colossal agitism—or is it merely bluff? CAMPBELL A.M.E.

Telephone, Decatur 3354 By Bishop NOAH H. WILLIAMS of the A.M.E. Church BEUROUTH, Syria (ANP) — Leaving Bagdad via bus we travelled one day and night to Damascus again to visit the Omayid Mosque, which I had to omit before going to Bagdad. You either have to pull off your shoes or let them supply you with a pair of slippers to put on over your shoes, before entering this mosque, so we chose the latter alternative. The Temple of Omiyid ranks in importance with the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and the Mosques of Mecca and Medina, in the Mohammodan religion. It is thought to occupy the site of the temple of Rimmon, mentioned in II. Kings 5:18, the place where Naaman deposited his "two mules" burden of earth. Before it was converted into a mosque, it, was a Roman Temple to Jupiter, but subsequently was dedicated into a Christian Temple by the Emperor Theodosius in A.D. 379 in honor of John the Baptist, and remained the Christian Cathedral of Syria for three centuries. This Omaiyid Mosque is a very fine one, but time and space forbid my giving further description. I next visited the Temple of Bacchus near by and on a lower level than the Temple of Jupiter. "There is nothing finer in all Syria than this well-preserved temple of Corinthian style," says one. Nineteen of the 46 columns which formed the Peristyle still remain and stand 52 feet high. After lingering here for a while we drove 55 miles in automobile to Beyrouth on the Mediterranean Sea coast and secured a room facing the sea in the Continental Hotel, in which room I am now writing this note. We leave here tomorrow via automobile for Mount Carmel, of Elijah fame; and after resting and praying on top of that mountain, where Elijah and the prophets of Baal had a showdown, I plan to proceed to Jerusalem again to retrace the earthly foot-steps of Jesus to Nazareth, whose servant I am, and who said, "Fear not—I have overcome the world." Hospital Patients Hear Rev. James T. Walker One of the most inspiring services ever held in a hospital, was conducted by the missionary and evangelistic committees of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of Third Baptist Church for the inmates of Wards Three and Five of the Freemen's Hospital, Sunday.

A sermonette to the patients was delivered by the Rev. James T. Walker, one of the young ministers of the Third Baptist Christian Endeavor Societies. The Rev. Mr. Walker had as his subject: "Jesus Christ, the Healer of All Ills." Mrs. Bessie Taylor Wins C. E. Registration Award Mrs. Bessie R. Taylor, president of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of Third Baptist Church, was awarded a sterling silver engraved pencil from the International Society of Christian Endeavor, who$_{se}$ headquarters are in Boston, Mass.

SAYS CHRISTIANS FAIL TO BUDGET CHURCH FUNDS Former Vicar Speaker at St. Monica's Pew Declaring that this is an age when people are working for every thing but the church, the Rev. George A. Fisher, former vicar at St. Monica's Episcopal Church now priest-in-charge at St. Ambrose's Church, Raleigh, N.C., Sunday night, preached before a capacity congregation at St. Monica Chapel, Asserting that Negroes usually get their religion spontaneously, the Rev. Mr. Fisher said the job of the ministry today is to get the people to keep what religion they have. "Christianity can't be inherited but must be gotten for yourself," the former vicar told the congregation. Claiming a vast revolution in religion has taken place in the last 20 years, the Rev. Mr. Fisher charged that people no longer think of the mythical element in religion but seek the ethical element. "I think they have the cart before the horse," he asserted, "as God said seek you first the Kingdom of God" yet Christians today first seek "things of the body." Christians today place everything before the church in their budgets, the Rev. Mr. Fisher said declaring the "church get the crumbs that fall from the proverbial master's table." Concluding his sermon, the Rev. Mr. Fisher said "men have casted for a long time for solutions to the problems effecting the welfare of humans but have failed to realize that God is supreme in his world." The occasion was the annual new rally of St. Monica Chapel. The Rev. J. Alvin Mayo, vicar, conducted the services. Rev. Miller Not Acting Pastor at Rehoboth The Rev. John S. Miller, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, informed the Tribune, Monday, that he is not acting pastor of Rehoboth Baptist Church as stated in a story relative to the death of Miss Mary E.

Va.—The debating teams of Virginia State College and Howard University debated the question. Resolved: "That the Tendency toward Governmental Control of Economic Life, as Exemplified in the New Deal Should Be Condemned," in the auditorium of the Virginia institution, Thursday. Arguing the affirmative side of the question Virginia State's representatives condemned the New Deal first as unound in principal; second, as a failure and impracticable; and third, as injurious, discriminatory, and disruptive of social life, destroying the very fundamental principles of democratic government. Says its a Success Howard's team arguing the defense of the New Deal, on the other hand, held first that the economic system of "laissez-faire" is antiquated and the government could no longer follow the policy of "letting things drift"; second, that the New Deal has been beneficial to agriculture, industry, and labor; and third, that the New Deal has brought about a more equitable distribution of wealth. Lawrence Harris, Howard's first speaker, said that economic conditions necessitated a change. It could not be Facism, nor Socialism, nor Communism, he contended, basing his argument on the vote cast for representatives of these systems in 1932 presidential election. According to him, the New Deal is the only remedy for the fills, created by the old system, applicable in our economic system. Aided Students Carlton Goodlett and Leroy Weeks, Howard's second and third speakers, respectively, devoted their attention chiefly to the tearing down of the affirmative argument, but they brought the benefits of the New Deal close to home when they pointed to the sixty or more students of Virginia State College who were receiving F.E.R.A. scholarships. Melvin O. Alston, Jesse P. Griggs and Thomas D. Pawley, Jr., represented Virginia State. It was a non-decision debate.

Y CAMP COM'TTEE TO LAUNCH DRIVE FOR SCHOLARSHIP Schools Lend Cooperation in Movement for More and Better Camps By Margaret A. Walker Now that spring is here a young adolescent turns to thoughts of camp. Those who have been to camp know of the good times which are in store for them, while less fortunate children eagerly sit at the feet of the wise. More and more adults are realizing the value of six weeks of fresh air, good food, and the sun's rays for the health of their children. Washingtonians are especially wide awake, because of the near proximity of two fine camps as Camp Clarissa Scott for girls, and Camp Lightman for boys. In the schools, comprising Divisions 10-13, an active campaign is being waged by the School Camp Scholarship Committee, under the able direction of Mr. Mae Stewart Thompson, chairman, and Mrs. Inez Burke, secretary.

The following is quoted from Miss Smith's letter: "The class consists of 20 colored and nine white men who showed a keen interest. They were anxious to learn and cooperated in every way. We were handicapped by the men being forced to sit on a log bench behind bars without anything on which to rest their work.

MINER TEACHERS' AVENGE A. & T. SETBACK, 36-31 Cole and Covington Score Late Baskets to Win for Martin Charges Pulling ahead in the last few minutes of the tilt, during which 11 personal fouls were called. Minneapolis Teachers' College, Thursday afternoon, avenged an earlier season scback by the A. and T. College court by trouncing the North Carolina liners under a 36-31 count at Cardano High School gymnasium. Behind by a 13-15 score at half time, the future teachers deadlocked the score on Tibbs's basket from near the foul line shortly after the resumption of play, and went in the van for the first time during the fray on Cole's neat shot from under the hoop. The invaders were not to be denied, however, and fought back determinately until the count was again tied at 20-all. Here the fireworks that won the game sparkled, Cole, Lanky forward, capitalized on a foul chance but Kennedy, A. and T. guard, sank his second attempt from the charity line to once more knot the count. This time it was 31-all. With slightly more than a minute of play remaining, Cole and Buck Covington whipped in twin-pointers from difficult angles, and the former added another from the charity line on a technical foul to capture the contest going away.

New York (Saturday)—Although the track and field colors of "the land of the free and the home of the brave" may turn their backs with reckless abandon on events which ketofore have been the outstanding happenings of all important track and field competitions, they will never be able to outlive the spectacle witnessed by 15,000 spectators at the annual Amateur Athletic Union championships held here in this huge auditorium tonight. Although exploitation of the "world's fastest human" has been deserted, what with the fading from the limelight of "white hopes" in the dashes, the names of Jesse Owens, Eulace Peacock, Ben Johnson and the still redoubtable Ralph Metcalfe will long be ringing in the ears of those who make or break the "meets." Although they may spend all their efforts in the hope of subordinating the shorter races—dominated by dusky runners—to the Nordic-controlled longer jogs, the sight of seeing Negroes in blanket finishes in the 60-meter sprint, the broad jump and the high jump will linger long in the memories of those who looked on here tonight. To a colored news scribe sitting in among writers of the other group representing every news gathering agency in the country, it is a genuinely exalted feeling. A glimpse at first one sheet of "copy" and then another, all in the "prep" for tomorrow morning's dailies, reveals great things done by Glenn Cunningham and Henry Dryer, both white But what of Jesse Owens, the former Cleveland high school boy, now a sophomore at Oho State University, who started off all the fire-works of breaking records—five meet marks went by the boards, another was equalled and a world record was set—with the phenomenal indoor leap of 25 feet 9 inches? And what of the same Owens who proved the meet's only "double" by setting a meet record in the 60-meter dash, although it was later equalled by another dark-skinned flyer, Ben Johnson? What of the one-two-three-finish in the finals of the 60-meter dash, the one-two end to the high jump and the one-two-three-four climax of the broad jump? Your writer's tempted to ask if the biggest and most enjoyable news for them is the fact that colored boys were not entered in the other competitions. All this was done without the aid of Metcalfe, whose name is in the lists of winners of brief races of every conceivable track program. The bronzed Marquette University champion stood on the sidelines, eliminated by Owens in much the same fashion as he himself had eliminated his predecessor, Eddie Tolan, earlier in his career. The 60-meters is not Metcalfe's race. It is not long enough for him. Tonight as Owens outdistanced him in the semi-finals, the crack colored boy who last week bowed to Earl Widmyer (white) in similar races, was shut out before he reached his true running stride. Always a slow starter, Metcalfe came pounding down the gray board runway in that inimitable closing rush, but he did not have the time to overtake the flying Owens. Ben Johnson in Van The latter peeled off a 06.6 to lower by one-tenth of a second the record held by Metcalfe and Emmett Toppino (white). In the finals Ben Johnson, Columbia University sophomore, was first. Second to him came Owens, the breadth of a silken hair back. In third place was Eulace Peacock, stellar Temple University all-round performer. Things were quite dark for Sam Maniaci (white) who, finished sketball DANCING ard vs Lincoln Basketball and DANCING See Sam Lacy's All-High Basketball Selections in March 7 Tribune Sprints not Featured Owens Opens Fire Good News for Nordics Ben Johnson in Van Eastern Board Plans Program for Saturday The Eastern Board of Officials will hold a brief meeting and recreational program at the Howard University gymnasium, Saturday, it was announced in letters sent to members of the organization by Edwin B. Henderson, president, late last week. The body will assemble at 12 o'clock noon and after a brief business session will don uniforms used in officiating for the purpose of making a picture. A card of handball, volley ball, ping pong, shuffle board and badminton has been arranged, and according to the letter none of the group, young or old, will be exempted from participation. Incidentally colored boys had led the way in each of the four heats of the 60-meter affair. Still another pair of sepia athletes took charge of things in the once celebrated high jump. Cornelius Johnson, bearing the colors of the Los Angeles A. C., edged over the horizontal at 6 feet 7 inches to gain a one-inch victory over Al Threadgill of Temple University. Gordon Manacled But the other crowning glory of the affair saw Ed Gordon, like Metcalfe an Olympic champion, practically "out" as the race entrants achieved the broad-jump verdict. The former University of Iowa Negro star finished fourth in an event that saw three other members of his race top the best efforts of competitors of the other group. The winner of the event turned up in the sleek looking Owens, at this moment passing under the stands directly beneath us. Peacock was second, outjumping John Brooks, the dusky University of Chicago leaper, by a scant margin. Betters 25 Feet Each Time In accomplishing his feat, Owens bettered 25 feet, six times. His initial leap was for a distance of 25 feet 5 and seven-eights inches. He continued this onslaught of space until his fourth jump covered the record-smashing 25 feet 9 inches. Nothing less than Owens's feat would have been sufficient as Peacock, laying low in the runner-up position, had put 25 feet 3 and one-half inches between the marks made by his take-off and where the surface of the sand-pit was destroyed by his finish. This in itself was one-quarter of an inch better than the record set by Owens as he captured the event last year.

WEEK ENDING MARCH 2. 1935 These Lions Have Bared their Fangs 34 35 Here is the revamped and greatly improved 1935 edition of Manuel Rivero's Lincoln University Lions, who have been cutting quite a caper in Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association ranks since recovering from their early season misfortune when they lost three of their most reliable performers. Other obstacles were the loss by fire of their gymnasium and later the blowing down of the walls to the building that replaced it. Then came the eligibility difficulty which eliminated Brickton Wright, Bus Bergen and Larry Elcach. However, the first string team pictured on the front row—DesVerney, Henderson, Durant, Brisbane and Prec—has been carrying on to new heights. They defeated the defending champions in games at Orange, N.J., and New York City, last Friday and Saturday, respectively. Georgia Avenue Quint in 30-26 Triumph Over Delaware State DOVER, Delaware.—A superiority from the 15-foot line proved the method by which Coach Harold Martin's Miner Teacher College quintet took the measure of the Delaware State College basketmakers for the second time this season, here last Friday. The Capital City outfit was ahead by a score of 30-26. Both teams were successful to the point of an even dozen field goals. Twenty-four points apiece thus scored left the teams even except for the margin of difference that lay stretched out along the charity strik. Miner counted 6 times for the ribbon. The Dover lads were successful twice. Givens, forward of the home boys, was easily the high-point man of the contest. He counted six scrimmage goals and a foul half of his team's total number of points. Next to him came Tibbs, forward on the invading team. MINER DELA. STATE G. F. P.1 G. F. P.1 G. F.

In accomplishing this feat the Chester County collegians were at no time extended, but coasted smoothly on to victory. Stepping to the front at the opening whistle, the Orange and Blue color-bearers completely outclassed their adversaries all the way. Neither in defensive or offensive capacity could the Shaw hopefuls successfully cope with the powerful local aggregation. In fact the final score of 46-16 clearly demonstrated the decisive margin of the local playing. Cubs Win Eighth Straight In the preliminary of the Howard-Virginia State game, Thursday night, the Howard Cubs defeated the Junior Celtics for their eighth straight victory. The score was 29-14.

C. this week. By ART CARTER Staving off a last minute rally of a determined band of Trojans who fought with the courage and fearlessness of their ancient forefathers, Howard University's championship court quint barely gained the decision over the Virginia State College five in the most thrilling basketball game seen on the local floor in many moons before a gymnasium packed with rabid fans, Thursday night. The Bison's 40-39 victory, which represented the narrowest of possible wins, served a threefold purpose. It temporarily placed the Bisons atop the heap of C.I.A.A. rivals for the 1935 crown, avenged an earlier season setback at the hands of the fighting Trojans, and gave the Howardites the glory of closing its conference home stand without the mar of a single defeat. Even that lone point which represents the difference between sweet victory for the Bisons and bitter defeat for the Virginians does not adequately indicate the closeness of the game nor the narrow margin by which the Bisons failed to fall over the brink to defeat. The only consolation the Staters survived from the court battle was the undisputed fact they died fighting. With the count 40-38 in favor of the Bisons, Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes's charges failed him on the last golden opportunity to deadlock the score, and possibly, win the game. Griffin had just registered from the foul line to climax a rally that bridged the seemingly impossible gap between Howard's 40 and State's 33 within the space of three minutes. Willie Wynne, whose superb passing and accurate shooting had been the bright spot in the Bisons' attack from the outset, committed his fourth infraction of the rules and left the game via the personal foul route. White, substituting for the evicted Wynne, gave the Trojans another chance from the foul line on a technical foul by thoughtlessly communicating upon entering the game. Tense Moments Griffin capitalized on the charity try by sinking his second successive basket from the 15-foot area thus mounting the Old Dominion State's team count to 39. Here drama gripped the howling crowd. Lewis Cundiff, State's great freshman forward, who Wynne fouled prior to his eviction posed dramatically on the 15-foot line as a hushed band of rooters stood in silent anticipation. Sundiff's hands and arms carried the ball up in one sweeping motion. The ball soared upward in a perfect arch, bounded on the rim, hesitated and bounced onto the floor to be prayed upon by a fighting band of Trojans and Bisons. But it was too late. Cundiff had missed the chance to tie the count and a minute later the timekeeper's whistle sounded the end of Howard's most exciting game in years. Exhibiting a passing attack that Orange, N.J., Crowd Thrills As Bison Star Tries in Vain for Win ORANGE, N.J. — Two things were in the minds of the large number of spectators who thronged into the local auditorium here where the Bisons of Howard University, Washington, were coraled to do battle with the Orange and Blue-clad Lions of Pennsylvania's Lincoln University, last Friday (George Washington's Birthday) night. They were assembled to watch the much-talked-of antics of Wee Willie Wynne, crackerjack forward of the visiting aggregation, as he cavorted about the hardwood. They did. And they were assembled—this pro-Lincoln town's fans—to witness a Lion victory to avenge for the thorough shellacking the Bisons handed the Lions earlier in the season. They did. Lincoln gathered a 35-31 decision. Wynne. Williams Star Wynne lived up to advance notices for the benefit of the local citizenry. The tricky Blue and White forward moved about the floor with his characteristic grace, in every play for possession of the ball and bagging 5 field goals and 3 fouls for his scoring contribution. The former Brooklyn, N.Y., high school boy thrilled the audience with one-hand tosses from first one side of the floor and then the other. His help, like in the previous encounter, came from a freshman teammate. This time, however, it was Bootnose Williams, ex-Dunbar High School court captain, who shared the limelight with Wynne. Herbie Jones, the California sensation who has been doing heroic work in behalf of Coach Johnnie Burr's defense of the 1934 C.I.A.A. title, saw little action. The Blue and White mentor spared the lad who played such an important role in the Lion clash earlier in the year. Weak ankles were given as the reason for his idling. But Ballard and Pree, the former a freshman and the latter a sophomore, the sophomore hailing also from the Dunbar High School of Washington, D.C. were in the game too. Ballard fell one point behind Wynne for high score honors and Pree took off three scrimmage tosses and a charity pitch to follow his teammates at the counting block. The Bisons were ahead at the close of the first half, 16-14. HOWARD G. F. P. G. F. P. G. F.

Wynne's foul toss broke the ice for the Bisons but Cundiff looped one from the sideline to increase the Trojan advantage to 11-1. Coach Johnny Burr sent in White and Jones at this point. Paced by Wynne, the Bisons began to click, knotting the score at 17-17 and going ahead at half time. 22-17. With the cool Bus Tatum replacing Griffin in forward, the Staters spurted to the front again at 24-23. Howard took the lead at 25-24 on Jones' twin-pointer from under the hoop and then the lead changed twice until the court foes were deadlocked at 29-all and again at 31-all. Here Captain Jinnie McArthur went on a scoring rampage that put Howard in the van to stay. McArthur Triumphs Relegated to the role of the lesser lights throughout the season by reason of his reversal of form from last year, Capt. McArthur rose to the heights in his farewell appearance on the Howard floor. Mac got his hands on the ball and his eyes on the ball. Three times Mac shot and three successive baskets, two from midcourt, and a foul shot was the result of Mac's "hot hands." Willie Wynne dropped in another from near the foul territory to carry the Bison tally to 40. Coles, Tatum and Griffin retaliated for the Trojans bringing the Stater's count to 38. The rest is history.

Saturday. Playing their last game in a three-game northern trip, the Trojans blasted the foul hopes of the Minerites within the short period of eight minutes after the future teachers had fought nip and tuck throughout the early part of the contest. Realizing his team already fatigued from the trying moments of its games with Howard and Morgan, faced a tough schedule upon the Staters' return to the Southland, Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes withheld his smooth working combination of Cundiff-Tatum-Coles - Smythe - Bailey from the game until late in the second half when it appeared the substitutes would not be able to check the ambitions Martimmen. Bailey Starts Rally With the count standing 25-23 in favor of the locals, the Trojan first-stringers trodded onto the floor. Immediately the tide changed, and despite the clever guarding of Buck Covington and Anthony and the sensational shooting of Mike Talbert, the Minerites were never able to stem the tide Bailey started the rally off with a snowbird under the basket. Coles, Griffin and Cundiff followed in the order named with Smythe and Tatum adding twin-pointers to match Talbert's and Covington's long range loopers. The Minerites, crippled by the loss of Vivian Tibbs, forward, who sustained a sprained ankle in the Delaware State game, Friday, battled the State second stringers on even terms during the early stage of the fracas, the half ending 18-18, Talbert, dependable forward, went scoreless during the period but came to life in the second session to gain high scoring honors for his teammates.

Ans.: No—unless you stop running after him and letting him know just how much you care for him. If you cease to do this, then it will be none other than he to break the ICE that lies between you. Assume a very indifferent air and he will fall for it in a big way. O. L. P.—Why does my wife act as she does? Ans.: It seems to me that your wife is just a little bit LAZY, and she had rather spend her time doing nothing than to be up cleaning the house. G. E.—What vocation should my daughter choose? Ans.: Your daughter is planning to become a teacher. After graduating from high school this year, she will attend a normal school very close to your home. She has her heart set on this and if you want her to make a success, then don't interfere with her plans. P. W.—Would you advise me to marry this girl I have in mind? Ans.: This girl was very much in love with you but now she has lost all faith in you because of the war you treated her. It was your duty to marry her before her baby was born. You are the child's father and it is up to you to support it. L. J. K.—Was my sickness caused from what I think? Ans.: No, your thoughts are incorrect in this particular incident. No member of your family put anything in your food to make you sick. If you would just be a little more careful about what you eat and when you eat it, you would not be bothered with this condition. D. E. M.—Could you tell me where this very important book is that I misplaced? KIDNEY DISEASE.

Ans.: You may depend on her to be nice to you until she gets tired of you, and then she is going to drop you as she has all the other boys that she has gone with. If this idea doesn't appeal to you, then I would suggest that you drop her first. E. M. N.—Will I get what I want this year? Ans.: I don't believe that there is any use of you dreaming of getting a large sum of money this year, because I do not see any money coming to you other than what you work for.

You will be successful in hearing from her the latter part of this year. R. T. S.—Will you please tell me if my suspicions are correct? Ans: No—for I do not believe that your brother had anything to do with the disappearance of your money. He is a grown man and wouldn't stoop to stealing money from his own little sister.

W. 3 RIVAL FORUMS CLASH FOR MASS PUBLIC SUPPORT Nine Weeks' Congress Proposed by Alliance Called Opposition Movement What promises to be a heated and spirited rivalry for mass support and supremacy among three local forum organizations, had its inception at a meeting that was sponsored by members of the New Negro Alliance, last Monday evening, at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Under the leadership of John Aubrey Davis, the Alliance is seekin to establish a nine-week forum "congress," patterned, more or less, after the Town Hall Forum organization. Several controversial issues were raised by Alvin A. Webb, president of the Young People's Forum as to the reason behind the Alliance's attempts to erect an "opposition" movement to the Forum of the Y.M.C.A. Heated objections to this new movement were also voiced by Belford V. Lawson, a leading figure who has recently become affiliated with the Young People's Forum. Others who spoke in opposition to the new project were T. Duport Georges, president of the Progressive Consumer League, and Theodore Botts, and Robert Harris, of the Y.M.C.A. Other forum organizations that are figuring prominently in this controversy are the Civic National Forum, headed by L. C. Farrar, and the Lincoln Temple Forum. The last named organization holds its meetings at 7 p.m. on Sunday evenings and has been working on co-operative terms with the Young People's Forum, which schedules its meetings at 4 p.m. in the Y.M.C.A. lobby on each Sunday afternoon. At one time the Civic National Forum, sponsored by Mr. Farrar met regularly with the "Y" group, but became divided when Farrar and Webb clashed with reference to the proposed consolidation policies that had been advocated by the Civic National Forum leader.

That, indeed, is the tragedy of her outstanding performance in "Imitation of Life," according to the editor of a Hollywood film magazine. The editor, H. O. Stechan, writing in the February California Graphic magazine, says: Best Screen Performance "Actresses nominated for the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science award during the past year are Grace Moore, Norma Shearer and Claudette Colbert. Yet, in the minds of many Louise Beavers turned in the best performance for 1934. of course, the Academy could not recognize Miss Beavers. She is black! "Nevertheless, her presentation of the Negro mammy, in the Universal production of 'Imitation of Life,' has been generally acclaimed by public and critics, as one of the finest pieces of acting seen on the stage or screen. Part Never Surpassed "It is doubtful if the tragedy of mother love, torn by the demand of her 'white' daughter to be given up, that she may be free to live her own life, has ever been surpassed. "There was no bitterness in that cynical refusal: 'I can't do it. I ain't no white mummy.' It was delivered with such true nobility and feeling. "None who sees 'Imitation of Life' and thinks about the unfairness of racial inequalities, can fail to recognize the human 'potentiality as brought out by Louise Beavers. Compared With Washington "Her noble characterization is as great a contribution to the cause of her people as that of Booker T. Washington, in its way, even if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science was not generous enough to give Miss Beavers art recognition. At least, Director John Stahl did."

Midnite Show Saturday with Reserved Seats CAPITOL THEATRE SHOW PLEASES The new Capitol Theatre in Alexandria brought the crowd out in Broadway style, Sunday at Midnight, to witness the greatest show ever to be staged in Alexandria. W. H. Bailey, president of Local 710, sent three of his best bands over to furnish the music for the evening. Louis Brown, Pete Moss and Bill Hester's Blue Birds were the aggregations of musicians who played for the affair. Curtain time was 12:20 a.m. with Pete Moss and his band opening the show with the popular tune "China Towh," after which the band played a medley of dance tunes with Leroy Stephenson of the Capitol Family doing the vocals. The Capitol's prince of personality, Morris Murray, acted as master of ceremonies. The second part of the show featured the Capitol Family, doing the latest song hits with scenic backgrounds for the acts. The stage show got under way with a number by the local chorus, which happens to be Alexandria's only chorus of sepia dancers. Then came the sidecracking comedy team of Wimpy and Cecil, after which Leroy Stephenson brought a big hand by singing "Lost in A Fog." Dixie's latest dance trio, McMilan, Dean and Lucas took the stage for the next few minutes. Directly following came the queen of Alexandria's songbirds, Lauretta Johnson, who held the crowd spellbound with her rendition of "If It's True." The most fantastic number on the program was the "Blue Moon" number, which carried a background of New York scenery. The vocal refrain was sung by Mildred Taylor, also of the Capitol Family, Marie Clark, Lauretta Johnson and Courtney Dean added the romance to the number with their love and dance act. The third unit of the show pre- sented the Blue Birds, who played a jam-up medley of red hot tunes that took the house by storm. Again Louis Stephenson and Louis Turner took honors with their shim-sham dance number. Leon Smith sponsored the affair with the aid of Local 710. Shows, settings and lighting affects were created and produced by Julian M. Dove, manager of the Capitol Theatre. "GREEN PASTURES" BACK HOME NEW YORK (ANP)—"The Green Pastures" starring Richard B.

Being an avid reader of Walter Winchelt’s daily column (as what embryo-logieal seribiley is not?) I was somewhat aliiazed to read the following item that appeared in his “corner” during the earlier part of the week. I shall quote him ac- cordingly: “Then there’s Jesse De ‘Armen, the only colored lad this corner ever encountered who is really handsome. | Hey a Phi Het- ta Kappa man, graten of_ two universities, Howard and Syra. cuse, He warbles at the Onyx Club—but good.” My amazement ‘was ineurred when Walter inferred that Negroes as a rule are not tru- ly handsome. The writer of this column objects to that implication, The lad (Jessie De Armen) whom Winchell refers to has appeared on the Howard stage on about two or three different occasions. Possrs- sor of @ melodious and tunc/u! voice, De Armen js also a persor- able and charming bronzed male, However. I fail to see where he outelasses any number of other de- cidedly attractive stage personali- ties such as Ralph Cooper, Bardia Ali, Chuck Richards, Harlan {alti- more, and others, who are feasts for any feminine’ eyes. For yen uine masculine handsomencs:, we need not even seek the profession al charmers of the stage. All that Mr. Winchell need do, is to sland on one of our U Street coracrs some balmy day and he will cer- tainly see colored handsome ria:ou- linity by the carloads! How abo t it girls?

POLICE FAIL TO SOLVE MURDER MYSTERY NEW YORK (ANP)—February 15 marks the fourth anniversary of the discovery of the body of Thelma Scott and her mother and aunt, murdered on the sixth floor of a Harlem apartment house by parties still unknown to the police. Four years finds the case just where the police found it on that memorable night when the horrible discovery was made, shocking Harlem. No progress has been made, every clue leading to a blind stone wall, making this, probably the greatest murder mystery in the annals of crime in New York. Other cases have had one person mysteriously murdered with no clue remaining, but this was a wholesale event, four persons losing their lives with no clue left for police to trace, although the bodies were in the apartment for five days before finally discovered by a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Every man in business knows that he cannot sell below cost and survive, but we have an endless stream of failures caused by the fateful attempt to violate this obvious principle.

Mrs. Estelle Jackson, well known Howard University alumni, protested against a move of the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association to ask the Board of Trustees of the university to pay the expenses of the association incident to the balloting for the alumni trustee. The present alumni trustee's Dr. Sara Brown, ten years expires in April. The cost of mailing ballots to alumni and other expenses amounts to $363. Howard H. Long, chairman of the executive committee of the General Alumni Association, called a meeting of his committee Sunday afternoon to discuss plans for obtaining funds for the balloting. Dr. Long requested the university to bear the expenses, but the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees refused to take action until the matter is brought to its attention officially through the Executive Committee of the General Alumni. Mrs. Jackson opposed the university paying the cost on the grounds that the General Alumni members are largely responsible for the attack on the administration of Howard and President Mordecai Johnson. It was brought out that the university at one time bore this expense and later the cost was borne equally between the university and the association. The group Sunday over the protest of Mrs. Jackson voted to ask the trustees of the institution to pay half of the cost of the ballot.

TUBERCULIN TEST TO BE INTRODUCED HERE FIRST TIME Freedmen's Hospital to Aid in Examination of 200 Students A thorough examination for the early detection of the childhood type of tuberculosis is one of the outstanding features of the Randall Junior High School Health Survey of 200 children of the seventh grade, which was instituted Wednesday, February 27, under the direction of the Public Health Committee of the Southwest Civic Association. Scheduled to start the early part of last December, the survey was held up by school authorities, pending approval of the Health Department for the administration of the tuberculin test. After thoroughly reviewing the Southwest civic body's plans for the conduct of the survey and the administration of the tuberculin test, approval of the Health Department was given by Dr. E. J. Schwartz, acting health officer on January 16. First Time Used Here Although the tuberculin test has been extensively administered in other states and offies to school children during the past ten years, the Randall Health Survey marks the first time, it is reported, that it has been used in either the white or colored schools in the District of Columbia. The tests will be made by Drs. George L. Johnson and Charles W. Wade, of the Pediatric Department of Freedmen's Hospital. They will be assisted by Mrs. Estelle Sweeting, graduate nurse of the Pediatric Department of Freedmen's Hospital, and by Miss Geneva Bryan, graduate nurse of the D.G. Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. Freedmen's to Co-operate Positive reactors to the test will be X-rayed at Freedmen's Hospital, through the courtesy of Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, and Dr. B. Price Hurst, director of the X-ray and pathological laboratories. Tuberculin and X-ray films are being donated by the D.C. Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis through the courtesy of Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, executive secretary; and Dr. William Charles White, president of the local association for the prevention of tuberculosis and chairman of the Research Committee of the National Tuberculosis Association. Doctors Taking Part The survey has been divided by Dr. C, A. Walwyn, chairman of the Southwest civic body's health committee, into special examinations under the supervision of the following physicians and dentists: Eye: Drs. Edwin J Watson; Walter Savoy, and Charles A. Allen; ear, nose and throat: Drs. Donald M. Harper, J. Francis Dycer, and Maurice Johnson; teeth: Drs. Charles S. Godden, Fitzhugh L. Reid, and M. D. Wisman; heart and lungs: Drs. E. C. Terry, H. A. Callis, E. L. Williams, George L. Johnson and Charles W. Wade and Joseph N. Dodson; Orthopedic: Drs. Phillip T. Johnson, Smallwood Ackiss, and James E. Walker; Neurological: Dr. C. Y. Williams; Urinalysis: Drs. C. W. Wade, C. A. Walwyn, Donald M. Harper, and George L. Johnson; Tuberculin Test: Drs. George L. Johnson and Charles W. Wade; X-ray: Dr. B. Price Hurst. The following graduate nurses from Freedmen's Hospital will assist in the survey: Miss. Estalie Sweeting, Misses Clarice Joyce, Hortente Robinson, Margaret Parker and Miss Shaed. Miss Shelby Roane will serve as clerk. The wages of sin will be paid some way, some day.

Representatives from the Morning Star Lodge, the National Capital City Lodge, the Forest Temple, the National Capital City Temple and the Columbia Temple were present. In addition, about 20 members of the Columbia Lodge, No. 85, which withdrew from official participation in the convention several weeks ago were in attendance.

"Queries from all over the country are being received and marching units are daily sending for their warrants to march in the grand parade," Dr. Fisher stated. Further plans for the coming convention will be perfected at the next meeting of the general entertaining committee to be held at the Morning Star Lodge Home Saturday, March 9. 10 RANKING STUDENTS AT STORER COLLEGE NAMED HARPERS FERRY, W.

NRA Refuses Budget to Study Low Laundry Wage The refusal last week of the National Recovery Administration to approve $3,500 for the expenses of a proposed study of the laundry code as it operates in the South, condemns 30,000 Negro women engaged in the same industry to continue their work in Dixie laundries at the pitiful wage of 14 cents per hour. After months of effort which even involved the participation of President Roosevelt, representatives of the NRA meeting with persons from the Women's Bureau, the Joint Committee on National Recovery and other organizations, reached an agreement early in February that a study be made by the Women's bureau and agreed to ask for $3,500 to finance it. The later refusal of NRA to allot the sum perils the project. John P. Davis executive secretary of the Joint Committee on Recovery was a member of the conference discussing plans for the study. PRES. ROOSEVELT IS PRAISED BY RECORDER DEEDS PRES. ROOSEVELT IS PRAISED BY RECORDER DEEDS (Continued from page 1 ) our country been at the seat of government representing our intellectual training since the Civil War. Aside from extolling President Roosevelt as the "greatest humanitarian," Dr. Thompkins traced the progress of the colored race and in so doing attacked a publication. "The Rising Tide of Color," written by Lothrop Stoddard, Ph.D., Harvard "In the book," Dr. Thompkins declared, "the writer stated that Africa had contributed practically nothing to the civilization of the world. This statement, of course, means that Mr. Stoddard, the Doctor of Philosophy of Harvard University, like many other scholars, has been attempting for more than a century to classify all progress in the earlier civilization of Africa, as having been made by races not ethnically of African origin. Likens Writer to Osrlich "In this" he went on. "Mr. Steddard and all other such thinkers remind me of the ostrich who, sticking his head in the sand, believes that he has concealed his whole body from an attacking enemy. Returning to the subject of national affairs as pertains to the race, Dr. Thompkins stressed the importance of optimism in the colored group. "Life in this world," he stated, "is a temporary affair. The moment we are born we are doomed to pass out of this life, and while we are in it no one but a fool plays the role of a coward, of an inefficient, and of a permanent failure. "We look at the elements and we see today a cloudless sky, a bright sun, balmy weather, but on the morrow a storm will come; the clouds will darken, the sun will disappear, and rain and wind will beat mercilessly upon everything upon the face of the earth. "If creation becomes disheartened, discouraged because the storm came, they would be unfit to enjoy the calm and the peace that will surely follow. So let it be with us." Hardships Strengthening "We have had more than our share of storms, but these storms have only strengthened the determination of the wise and the resolute. We must go forward because we cannot go backward, and in order to $ \mathbf{g}_{0} $ forward there is only one road left, and that is the road of intelligent, efficient racial organization in every economic field within the reach of our organized resources. "We should not be discouraged," the speaker went on, "by the failures of some of our banks and insurance companies. If we have had five banks $ \mathbf{t}_{0} $ fail, the whites have had more than 5,000, and there is no use to discuss a percentage basis because we did not have many more than five. Quotes Philosopher "We should study those failures, find out the causes, and digest the information well and then reorganize other financial institutions with the same determination which characterized the reorganization of white institutions after white failures. "It has been said," the deeds recorder said in concluding, "that men profit by experience. Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, stated that 'Honor does not consist in never having fallen, but in the strength and determination revealed in rising after we have fallen.'" Other cities slated to fall in the line of the militant physician who has undertaken race leadership since his appointment to the administrative post at Washington, are St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Lakeland and Tallahassee. They called the Versailles instrument a peace treaty. Day by day it becomes more apparent, they should have called it merely a treaty. -Memphis Commercial Ag- MORE ITALIAN TROOPS EMBARK FOR "FRONT" According to a United Press release from Rome, thousands of Italian troops were on their way to the Abyssinian "front" Monday with nearly 3,000 more due to sail in the next 12 hours. The transport ship Biancamano sailed Sunday from Naples for Messina, Sicily, to pick up 1,900 men and 73 officers of the Peloritana division there Monday. Other reinforcements to sail from Messina include officers commanding the 24th Artillery Regiment attached to the Peloritana division and a party of motorized artillery engineers. Total forces to embark Monday include 2,600 men and 100 officers, and more than 3,000 tons of materials to build army camps and barracks for troops in Italian Somaliland and Eritrea, bordering Abyssinia. Picket Italian Embassy in New York NEW YORK (ANP)—Nothing of importance has gripped your Harlemites in the past few years as much as this reported invasion of Abyssinia by Italy. From all angles discussions on the situation are heard with the majority of Harlem favoring of course, Abyssinia. There can be no question about it, within the past few years, a spirit of nationalism has arisen in Harlem which will in time form the neucleus of a very important movement. Pickets are parading the Italian consulate here on Lexington Avenue and 70th Street with placces "Mussolini, Keep out of Abyssinia." Over 100 men and women took part in the demonstration. They marched and sang for over an hour and then departed to hold a meeting uptown. A delegation tried to interview the Consul, Antonio Grossardi, but he was not in the Consulate at the time. Not too lightly is the matter being taken by Harlem, although daily papers seek to treat the affair as far as Harlem is concerned with levity. was one from Garnet C.

Taught at 12 A native of Forestville, Md., Dr. Lucas was educated in Washington public schools and graduated from Miner Normal School. When only 12 years of age, she taught at a county school in Prince Georges County, Md, where her older sister was principal. Later, she was appointed to the District School system and taught for eight years. For 12 years after resigning from the local educational system, Dr. Lucas devoted her time to her family. Then, she performed the unusual feat of studying medicine at Howard Medical School in a class of approximately 100 male students. At graduation from the Medical School she received several prizes for excellent work. Practiced 20 Years She began practicing in the District in 1914, maintaining an office at her Fifteenth Street-home. She was a member of the Public School Community Center Council and served as examining physician for the Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association. Wife of School Principal She is survived by her husband, M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Wormley School-and president of the Columbian Educational Association; a son, Dr. M. Grant Lucas, Jr.; her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sue Goin Lucas, and a granddaughter, Peggy Marie Lucas, all of this city. She also leaves a brother, Richard Thomas of Forestville, Md., and four sisters, Mrs. Lydia Marshall, of Culpeper, Va.; Mrs. Ruth Grinage, of Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Mamie Holland and Martha Thomas, both of Washington. There are limits within which Negroes in California will Boycott Italians in Move To Aid Abyssinia LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Unless they make formal demand upon Italy to discontinue its campaign of "bullying and aggression" in Abyssinia, boycott of all Italian merchants in Negro communities in Los Angeles was the sharp threat which hung over the city this week, following a resolution adopted Saturday night by the Los Angeles Civic league, James M. McGregor, president. Declaring that, "the only purpose Italy can have in sending a quarter of million soldiers into the Samaritland region is to reduce our Ethician brothers to a state of virtual slavery," the resolution by Elliott I. Johnson, member of the league's executive council, emphasized the necessity of bringing pressure upon Premier Mussolini to halt the movement of Italian troops until the matter can be adjudicated by the League of Nations or some impartial authority. Quoting as its authority the opinions of Frederick R. Birchall, noted authority on international relations, the resolution declared that unless aggression is averted in the Somaliand, all Europe may be thrown into another catastrophic war. "The reply of the Abyssinian government to Italy," the resolution states, "denies any responsibility for the present state of affairs in the region. Abyssinia cannot meet the unreasonable demands which Mussolini is manifestly using as an excuse to wipe out the last native African independence in the world today. "Negroes spend thousands of dollars weekly in trading with Italian merchants, and the entire California wine industry, which they maintain to a proportionately larger extent than any other group is controlled by these people. "If Italy values the welfare of its citizens in the United States as much as it values the welfare of its soldiers in Africa, a boycott against Italian goods will be effective in stopping this wholesale massacre of an almost helpless, if proud and defiant nation." MITCHELL HITS "LYING" PAPERS MITCHELL HITS "LYING" PAPERS (Continued from page 1 ) and repeatedly took the opportunity to taste that although he did not go around looking for fights, there was nothing he likes better (save two fights) than one in defense of what he believed to be right. One of the newspapers attacked is published in Baltimore and the other in Chicago. He said he had no quarrel with Negro newspapers which had not gone out of their way to misrepresent him, but that he was not going to duck a fight with those which had lied on him. He expressed his determination to fight them and his belief that he could hurt him more than they could hurt him. Called "Half Starved" As an afterthought, in his bitter denunciation of their treatment of him, he described the reporters of these newspapers as "half-starved." Sighting a worker for one of these newspapers in his audience, he demanded that the employee return to his plant and tell the boss what he said. Refused House Post Describing his record, he stated that he had introduced two bills into Congress, one an anti-lynching measure which, he thinks, is the best introduced; the other, an up-to-date rendition of the old Celler bill for a Negro Industrial Commission. He claimed to have obtained jobs for several persons in his district and expressed the hope that he would be able to get more for voters in his district. He stated that he turned down the job on the House District Committee, not because he would not have been honored by the position and placed where he could have done much good for the citizens of the District of Columbia, but because he felt the demands on his time as a member of that committee would have kept him from devoting as much time as he should to the interests of his own constituents. Divorce Suit Ends Out of Court as Parties Agree The divorce suit of Lucille Boyd against Bennie Boyd was dismissed, Monday, in District Supreme Court by Justice Luhring when attorneys for both parties informed the court that the parties had settled their grievances out of court.

Swedish and Belgian military observers now in Ethiopia are to aid in the negotiations to settle boundary disputes. French Government Prepares to Murder Natives of Algeria PARIS (CNA Special)—Government officials here are preparing to rush armed forces into North Africa for the purpose of crushing recent uprisings of the Algerian Natives. Algeria is a colonial possession of France. For some time the Natives in French Africa have been struggling against the domination of French imperialism. The Algerian Natives are paid "coolie" wages, while the rich natural resources of their own country are stolen by French capitalist interests. The French government is sending aviation units into Algeria to put down the struggles of the Natives for colonial self-determination.

CRAWFORD ALIBI WAS FALSEHOOD (Continued from page 1 ) expressed their criticism in an article published in The Nation, June 27, 1934, entitled "Is the N.A.A.C.P. Retreating?" Reply was made in The Nation, July 4, 1934, under the title "The Crawford Case." Miss Gruening published an extended article in the New Masses, January 8, 1933, under the title "The Truth about the Crawford Case" in which she severely criticized defense counsel and the National Association for the conduct of the case. Part of her criticism centers on the fact that counsel did not attempt to develop an alibi for Crawford that he was in Boston at the time of the murders. This alibi had been put forward in certain extradition proceedings in Boston, when Crawford was first arrested there and Virginia was attempting to obtain custody of him from the authorities of Massachusetts. Not in Boston The undersigned and his associates did not represent Crawford in Boston. It is expressly stated that Boston counsel acted in good faith when they adduced alibi evidence at the extradition hearings. No charge is made that the Boston alibi witnesses consciously gave false testimony when they swore that a year previous Crawford was in Boston on January 13, 1932. Doubless they believed their testimony to be true. But the undersigned and his associates discovered before the trial that the alibi was not true; that Crawford was not in Boston January 13, 1932. They therefore did not attempt to set up a Boston alibi. Matter Distasteful In order to clear the National Association, if that be necessary, Crawford February 16, 1933, gave the undersigned his written permission to disclose the facts of the case and the investigation. It is distasteful for him as a lawyer to discuss a case in which he has been a participant; and his sole reason for taking any steps at this time is the interests of the Association. On the question of the Boston alibi he proposes to carry to the Virginia State Penitentiary in Richmond on Thursday, February 28, 1935, at three o'clock, certain clothes which Crawford abandoned in Washington when he fled this city after the murders.

Fifteen organizations, including the U.N.I.A., the Communist Party, the Ethiopian Enterprise Association and various other organizations interested in the fight against imperialism were represented. One of the unanimous decisions of the conference was the issuance of a call for similar committees to be formed throughout the country. As a part of the activity of the committee a mass meeting will be held protesting Mussolini's recent invasion of Abyssinia. A parade in support of Abyssinian independence is also planned by the committee Mussolini Continues Mobilization Against Abyssinia ROME (CNA Special)—Despite rumore here that Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and Italy have "settled their differences," Mussolini continues to move new contingents of troops into East Africa on the Abyssinian border. In Somaliland ultra modern stream line railway trains are used to carry Italian troops across the desert to begin ruthless warfare against the Abyssinian Negro people. Continuous troop movements into Abyssinia have never been halted. Meantime, Mussolini has issued an order preventing any news releases of Italy's fascist war moves unless first censored by him. The Italian Communist Party has issued a call to the Italian people, for joint struggle against Mussolini's invasion of Africa's last Negro independent nation.

He called attention to the fact that if this was done it would speed up automobile traffic in the down town sections considerably as it would be possible to make Fourteenth Street and Connecticut Avenue eight lane traffic streets for the automobile traffic. Proposes Comfort Station The Public Works Committee through its secretary O. W. McDonald, presented a list of proposed projects to be provided out of any funds which may be appropriated and allotted to the District of Columbia for public works. The matters were taken up with the D. C. Commissioners and the report was adopted by the Federation. The report enumerated outstanding needs of public schools, Divisions 10-13, for new buildings, additions to old buildings and playground facilities. It also showed the need of additional recreational facilities, public libraries, sewers, streets and low cost housing in colored communities. Requests for the widening of Bernings Bridge, provision for general municipal hospital for colored patients and comfort station on U Street, Northwest, between Seventh and Fourteenth Streets.

This measure proposing a Negro commission of five to pass judgment upon matters affect- ing the Negro is another way of telling the country that the Negro is a problem in America and needs a Bureau of Ne- gro Affeirs to administer to his needs. This so-called commission would give jobs to five persons who no doubt would use the position for political purposes. The thing that the Negro most needs in America is an opportunity to make a living and live like other citizens with- out any special organization created to dicker with the government in his be- half. As soon as the Negro leaders realize that the colored people in this country are American citizens and not wards of the government; that the con- stitution is enough to protect his rights providing that instrument is lived up to, and that we are not special problems to be dealt jwith as a separate unit in governmental affairs, then most of the ills suffered by the race will vanish. Every effort should be made to be- come a part of the government rather than be considered as a distinctive peo- ple set spart to be treated as orphans. There are various races in this country making up its citizenry. There are no Jew, Greek or Italian commissions to “look after the rights” of either racial group. All the Negro is entitled to and should have is the right to live as men— nothing more nor nothing less. There are those who argue that the Negro’s problem in America are dif- ferent from other racial goups and he needs special bodies to look after his welfare. Every argument in that direc- tion is just another argument for jim- crow and segregation.

J oe NEW SLUM MENACE LOOMS A new menace faces Washington's unemployed as well as the entire Dis- trict with the setting up of a group of shanties in East Washington by relief families who under the stress of evic- tions and inability to pay rents are at- tempting to solve their own living prob- Jems. Hundreds of these families are liv- ing under filthy conditions far greater than the hovels they moved from in the hidden streets or alleys of the city. The much talked about housing pro- gram has done nothing more than make Jandlords harass these alley dwellers in an attempt to gouge as much rent out of them as possible before the govern- ment starts its low cost housing pro- gram. Many of these alley families have been evicted and are living in shanties far more unsanitary than the ones they moved from. A recent survey by a group of women disclosed the startling fact that needy families are living in shacks with in- adequate water supply or toilet facili- ties and that a new slum area worse than the present one threatens the city. ene WHAT DO YOU WANT? The best way to attain a goal now beyond reach is to know specifically just what you want. Get your ambition firmly in your mind, recall it to your mind every day, but say nothing about it to anyone, +, Most of us are weak in two particu- lars, We vaguely wish for hundreds of things, but we concentrate on none. We fail to define our wants. Our second fault is that we talk too auch about our ambitions, thereby sap- ping the energy needed to achieve them. When a man is walking on the street and knows his destination, paths are somehow opened for him. Strollers get out of his way. The analogy holds in all human activity. The world steps aside for the man who knows what he wants. rs Revised: “Glad to cheat you; the pleasure’s mine.” S . | Kelly Miller Discusses Osear UePriest, -ommoner “ He moved among his colleagues in Con: ‘gress on terms of absolute personal equality and easy familiarity.

Oscar DePriest is a creature of the peo- ple, for the people and by the people, He Sprung from the commen people, in whom he believes and in whose behalf he hypoth- ecates his career. He is what might be called an uncommon common man. "A comnioner is one who stands upon a plane ‘to which the highest may descend without con- descension, and to whieh the humblest may ‘stand and fecl at home, unabashed and un afraid. Walt Whitman speaks of himself as “meet. er of savage and gentleman on equal terms,” who can tay ‘how do you do’ to Cudjoe hoeing jn the cotton field in Mississippi and ‘how are you’ to the president at his levee, and. they both understand him and know his speech is right. DePRIEST 1S, . COOD MIXER Mr, DePriest is equally at ease among all the social grades into which his group is divided, and makes them feel equally at ease in his presence. He is a Congressman among Congressmen, none More dignified and manly than he, At the same time his humblest con- stituent or citizen from any state never felt abashed in his presence. He is almost the only colored man I know who is equally at ease with white and colored men without feeling unduly elated by contact with the one or belittled by relations with the other. He moved among his colleagues in Congress on terms of absolute personal equality and easy familiarity, This was not assumed or put on to vindicate the dignity of office, but was nor- mal to his nature and method, Affectation of superior airs and superficial mannerism is the besetting sin of members of our group who rise a little above their fellows by reason of a little learning, a few dollars oF brief authority, | SUPERFICIALNESS IS FOOLISH About a half century ago when social super- ficiality of Washington was at its height, the question arose as to forming a class organiza- tion of the seniors of the high school. Many of the teachers contended that such an organi- zation was not feasible because the pupils came from such wide apart levels that sirihing like social intimacy among them was impossible, At that very time there was hardly a teach- er on the staff, who, if traced back for fifteen ‘years, would not have been found with a tray Tn'his hand or an apron around his neck as he stood behind the chair while the white lord and master sat at Meat, What fools we be in our disposition to set up distinetions without any basis in character, culture or attainment, Once upon a time it is alleged that the Black Cabinet composed of the colored men in the upper brackets of the public service in Wash- ington undertook to set up a dead line of so- cial eligibility. No one whose salary was less than two thousand dollars was to be consider- ed eligible for invitation to social functions sponsored by the political elite. We look back upon all such social silliness, and smile, For- tunately all such distinctions based upon super- cilious assumption are rapidly passin away. LOVED BY THE COMMON PEOPLE DeF'riest has never let any such nmnsense in- vade his career. The common people love him ‘because he loves them. He speaks their lan- guage and is exponent of their hopes and as- Pirations. His courage is admired to the point of amazement. He demands for his race— every man, woman and child of them—immedi- ate and unconditional fulfilment of every guar- anteed constitutional right. We adimire in others those high and daring qualities which we ourselves either do not pos- sess or lack the courage to exhibit. The wo- men idolize the hero coming home as victor from the war because they themselves cannot bear arms. The football captan is the hero of the coeds because that sex cannot engage in ‘the sport. The port, the artist. the genius are ‘extolled Ty common’ folk because we are con- scious of their endowment on a higher plane than ours, ‘than ours, DePRIEST’S COURAGE STANDS OUT The masses of the race refer-us eagevy io the daring and courage of Oscar DePriest_ because he is doing for them what they want done, put are unable to do themselves. Every act of his in Congress, however, daring it might seem to the timid, expressed the aspiration of the race, which Wants every guaranteed right with- out reserve and without delay and will never cease to idolize the man who stands up for them. The readiness and spontaneity which met the suggestion of a nation-wide DePriest testimonial was but a natural expressian of gratitude towards one who embodies the alms, hopes and ambitions of the plain people. Oscar DePriest is indeed our great comuion- tr, the beloved son of the plain people whom we delight to honor. Other Papers Say See a PAYING THE EDITOR From the Feley (Ala.)

To the Ecitor: Since (he cctting in of the economic crisis in 1929 conditions in the field of cdueation have beeame steadily worse. It has become increus- ingly difficult for thousands upon thonsands of studenis io obtain a higher education. Those who formerly depended upon parents ny longer in position to put them through school: these who relied on either full—or part-time jobs no longer available to them; thoze who never had the epnc:tunity to use their earnings for purposes of education— those young peosle have the right to expec nay, demand that their government, whic’ could appropriate over a billion dollars for war purposes in the last year, furnish them with the mcans of acquiring a’ higher educa- tion. In most large cities in the United States there are free colleges of one kind or another. Washington, too, could have such an institu- tion if parent-teachers’ associations, student clubs and civic organizations would cooperate toward this end, The National Student League is initiating such a campaign through a questionnaire which is being circulated among students in high schools and colleges to determine how many of them are actually in need of such aid, All organizations interested are requested to discuss this question and address all commun'- cations to the National Student League at 532 Seventeenth Street, Northwest.

Having been asked by so many interested friends of Howard University, re- garding the recent attack upon the president of that imstitution, I was delighted when I read your editorial on the subject. I desire to commend you for the statesman-like man- ner in which you worded the facts. Howard University like all other institu- tions has its enemies, yet 75 per cent of the colored citizens have not lost confidence in President Johnson. An overwhelming major- ity of the leaders of our ow are wondering whether or not the colored trustees of the Uni- versity ave going to join, in a large measure, with those who are making these unwarranted attacks on the administration in an endeayor to prove that a Negro president cannot (> ccute affairs at Howard University, or if they are going to prove to the world’ that with whole-hearted co-operation, this great seat of learning, with a capable Negro president, such as it has, will continue to develop as it has in the past few years, W.

To the Editor: I thought eae like the following would stick up its head before long. Addressing himself to the subject of federal old-age pensions, the editor of the Arkansas Gazette, published here, suggests in a friendly manner that the payment of such pensions to the Negroes of the state, who composed one- quarter of the population, through taxation, would literal!y constitute “the white man’s burden.” “The Negroes of Arkansas,” he writes, “as & group compose the poorest economic class in the stete. In some alluvial sections they almost exclusively represent the tenant class, with no property beyond a few persona! be- Tongings. ‘The destitution which. along. with age would determine their right to draw pen. fions hangs over thousands of them all the ime. “In a state like Arkansas the Negro... . could not be counted on for one-quarter of the taxes levied to cover the state’s share of the cost. They simply haven't the money to pay much tax. The bulk of taxation is literally ‘the white man's burden’.” And we kill such men as Lincoln, a Little Reek, Ark.

Those- measures were taken in order to drown in blood the militant strike movement already taking place under the leadership of the revolutionary trade union federation and the Comniunist Party, and which is shaking the entive island. Your busses have sent this order of terror and biood against the Cuban masses. We are sure thet you will come to our support and fight against these new terrorist measures of the American imperalists and the Cuban move- ment.

EATON THINK IT OVER With BEATRICE M. MURPHY COMPENSATING NEGRO WRITERS. Dear Mary: Here is the answer to my friend’s letter: Every once in a while someone stumbles upon the truth which has been thrust so suddenly upon you. ‘They come in contact with a man like your friend, who has lost his hold “bit by bit,” his footing in society,” and who—also like your friend—is probably hungry; and, after helping him “as long as they think they should,” tell him that he is “a man and must handle his own problem like a man.” Then they wake up one bright morning— just as you did—to find that either death has released him, or that their “help” has been the instru- ment which has driven him entire- ly beyond the point of rehabilita- tion; and they wring their hands, crying, “If I had only known, 1 would have done so arid so.” But they should have known, No one has any right trying to guide peo- ple’s lives unless they know at least that much, Props must be withdrawn grad- ually. Rehabilitation like degra- dation, is accomplished not in. a sentence, an action, or a thought but “bit by bit.” It makes no dif- ference whether you go down or up the ladder, it must be dont “round by round”; and, if in the middle of the journey, a rung is missing, you're bound ‘to step off into space, I do not know whether you were of help to him or not. "Perhaps you thought to make him strong and self-reliant, Perhaps you sought to give him back that: which he had lost. Perhaps notling you might have done could have saved him. : Perhaps, I say. T do not know, You do not know. We are all of us part of a system—a sometimes insidious system which stifles our better instincts. The Society of whieh you are a part would permit you to throw your unwanted and unused crumbs to a dog, but would have demanded for your friend lux. uries, the price of which you prob- ably could not pay. It would have placed its stamp, of approval upor the sharing of your knowledge. But your friend could not. use yout knowledge, He was not ready fo: it. You cannot teach wisdom and courage to a hungry man—or self- weliance to a starving one.

It may be in one sense and in another it can serve as a stimulant to the ambi- tious righteous doers—another case of “What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” The promise of some kind of re- ward to one who undertakes a task is in most instances all the encour- agement that is needed. This rule does not only apply to our earthly doings, it holds true in our spivit- ual teachings as well, The pro- mise of reward after death to all Christians that shun the so-called Rood times of the world is one bai that Christianity offers. God saw fit to promise this reward ty man with the hopes that He would bring out the very best that is in hummanity—righteousness, The two hundred and sixty odd publishers of cur weekly news- papers could be termed as little gods in their worlds of journalism. It depends largely upon them to bring out the best that is in the Negro writers. Again the subject of reward pops up—and why not? It is the only means of setting a standard for Negro writers. The colored writers are getting tired of tereiving this kind of | reward: Why this is pretty good, I guess I can run this in this week's paper. Bring me another one cach week and I'll make you a columnist on my paper. Many of you have probably won- dered why Dr, Carter G. Woodson has not been sending out his | weekly releases to colored week ilies, The reason is that Dr, Wood. ‘son has not been given any com:- pensation for his past work with the weeklies and therefore he doe: not feel obligated to the Negr« press enough to pay a printer three or four dollars every week t print his releases so that he coul: mail them to two hundred or x Negro newspapers and in returr receive not ne penny for his troubles.

One of the young white clerks in the division where I am employed, pon being told of my plan to submit the aforementioned idea to my readers, has made a small wager that only a certain number of the or- ganizations mentioned would even see the article much less than take any action on it.

Readers want to know my yeactior.s to ex-Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and President Roosevelt, a good name for the New Deal, and my opinion on the passag® of the Wagner-Costigan Anti-Lynch’ bill. Taking the last one first, it is my opinion, reached after due delibera~ tion and in view of certain facts in connection with the present political situation, that the Wagrer-Costgan Anti-Lynching bill or no other anti- tynch bill has a chance of passing this or the next Congress, Because of & lack of epace, I shal! have to treat this matter in a more adequate manner next week, Now for my reaction to the New Deal and our last four presidents. The New Deal is being given a lot of new names by Negroes in Ameri- ca from “Benevolent Autocracy” to the “Dictatorship with a smile,” but whatever it is, Negtoes seem to like it and in the words of the song “And so do T ani So do L” It seems to me that in intellectual breath and agility, President Keosevelt is far superior to his immediate predecessors. To my way of thinking Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge had neither. 1 think that it was Don Wharton who wrote in his “Roosevelt Omnibus”: “Harding was a sinall time (town) editor whose idea of learning was a florid verbosity, and Coolidie had the outlook, views and mental processes of a ward politician.” The less said about Herbert Hoover, the better, He seems to have a restless, absorbent mind, but his underlying nature is so devious and his judgement so warped by Bourbonism that experience and informa tion have little effect on his reasoning. His mind set, it seems to me, is like that of the handkerchief-head, hat-in-hand Negro Federal employee in that he approaches a problem or a situation, not with a desire to get at the facts and formuiste a course of action, but with his mind already made up, and seeking only to obtain arguments to fit his preconceived views. It is this writer’s opinicn that Mr. Hoover wanted to make the Re- publican Party in the South a lily-white one and like our mis-called “emancipator,” (that hiehly touted political opportunist) Abraham Lin- coin, looked upon the Negro American as being very definitely the men- tal inferior of the White American, It is my opinion that our present Chief Executive not only has an open mind on the so-called “Negro problem” but also is willing ant ready to treatewith him the same as he would with any other America citizen on any matter of Vital importance which is intelligently present ed to him with proof that the matter in question and its solution repr: sents the consensus of opinion of a majority of the sane thinkers of th Sr eR in conclusion I thirk that it is pertinent to note that, although r one is ‘More cognisant than this columnist of the left-handed recognitic usually accorded Negroes who participate in pelities T ac, neal SAYS HITLER BEGAN LIKE HUEY So serious is the Huey Long menace, long laughed at by various political leaders in the country, ‘estbrook Pegler in his column in the World Telegram takes occasion to call attention to several things Mr. Long has done or hasn't done.

Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma was host last Thursday to a group of freshmen and sophomores from Howard University and Miner Teachers' at a smoker in Barksdale's Cafe. There were about 65 men present. The first part of the evening was devoted to card playing. Fred Minnis, president of Alpha Chapter was the toastmaster and speeches were delivered by J. Langston Taylor, one of the founders of Phi Beta iSigma, Prof. J. Lewis, national president of the fraternity, Lawyer George A. Parker and Dr. John Turner, president of Alpha Sigma Chapter. The spokesmen for Miner Teachers' College were Robert Best, vice president of the Pledge Club and McNeill, basketball player.

A prize was to be given to the one who in the opinion of the judges told the best The prize was won by Chauncey Parker. Malton Boyce in Lecture Recital at Howard U. The Musicians' Guild of Washington and the School of Music of Howard University presented Malton Boyce assisted by the choir of St. Matthews Church, in a lecture-recital in Rankin Chapel, Monday of last week. Mr. Boyce, who is instructor of church music at Catholic University, traced the development of liturgical music from the Gregorian chant, through the polyphonic period, to the modern choral. His analysis of these three types of religious music provided an effective background for the interpretation by the choir of a program illustrative of the development of church music. In his discussion of the Gregorian chant, Mr. Boyce played on the organ the various modes employed in the music of the mediaeval church. The resonant voices of the choir blended in pleasing unison in the rendition of these tunes so appealing in their fervor and simplicity. The polyphonic selections were sung a capella with a well-defined and vigorous enunciation of their interlacing themes. The choir displayed an unusual dynamic range that was particularly effective in the climaxes of the hymns that composed this group. Outstanding were the lamentation "Sola Civitas" by Palestrina and animated "Repleti Sunt" by Gallus. College Club Plans For Next Few Months Among the many activities being planned by the College Women's Club, the two most important are a recital and a dinner to be held during the month of March.

Each afternoon and evening some special attraction was in evidence; card parties, formal dances, informal dances, cocktail parties, dinners and what not. Many visitors were in town and were most countenously entertained. The "Gay 90's" dance given by the "What Good Are We?" club on last Thursday evening was the most novel. "A picture no artist could paint" is the most appropriate way to describe the sight which greeted one on entering Murray Casino on that particular night. The attire of the ladies was truly suggestive of the past era when the long frock, drawn tightly in at the waist with the full hips and bustle effect, the leg of mutton sleeves and the full bosom, the either extremely large hat or the feathered small toque enhanced with the flowing willow phine were all indicative of the well dressed female. The men were indeed picturesque in either the sporty suit of black and white check, very tight pants and cut-a-away coat, picadilly collar and rolled bum derby or the full dress suit with frock tail coat, tight striped pants, long white vest, flowing bow tie encircling a very high turned back collar and high heavy silk hat.

And may we extend to Annette Hawkins, Blance, Williams and Ruth W. Davis our congratulations on the most enjoyable dance they gave on George Washington's birthday. Most everyone was somewhat tired from the dance of the night before and had tried to recuperate for this matinee dance given by the girls. But let me tell you, so magnetic was the atmosphere surrounding the dance that it was very easy to forget fatigue and join in the merriment and joyousness which the occasion offered. Everybody was there—for how could they miss it? A timely suggestion—please make it an annual affair. Mrs. Walter S.

WOMEN! - GIRL$! STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! HOPE CHEST CONTEST Sponsored by Gertrude Martin Wins Praise as Violinist On the palm?bedecked stage of Rankin Memorial Chapel stood a slim, wispy bit of a maiden. Tiny fluffy ruffles (far too many to count) formed a graceful cape around her shoulders. Yards and yards of white net flared out about her feet. Her close-cut soft black hair gleamed out in vivid contrast to the whiteness of her dress. It was Gertrude Martin violinist, appearing in the fourth concert of the Howard University Concert Series. The weatherman had spread a mantle over the little chapel that exactly matched the artist's dress. Maybe Mis Martin was trying to show her appreciation for the courtesy. Maybe she was—well, at any rate the "Lady of the Violin" threw her all into Tuesday evening's entertainment. You wondered at the strength in her slender arm as she coaxed, caressed or even smoke those throbbing strings. You watched the player's head as she tossed it up or back or down, or laid it on the violin. She was a poem, a symphony; and hardly alive was that sweet-toned wooden instrument. Whether it was a quick capricious note, a warm golden dr.wl, or a soft silvery tone stretched to its finest point. Miss Martin's artistic ability was always evident. She possesses a masterful technique that must be the envy of many an artist. She received ovation after ovation and when the program was finally ended her enthusiastic admirers throned about her begging for an autograph or some sort of souvenir. Mr. Carl Ditton, pianist, furnished an artordinarily sympathetic accompaniment. Among the numbers offered were "Sonata" (for piano and violin) by Cesar Franck); "Concerto (in G minor) by Bruch); "Poem" by Grice, Kortschak; "Capriscino Valse" by Wieniawski; "The Flight of the Bumble-Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov-Hartmann and "African Dance No. 4"—Coleridge Taylor Among those seen in the crowd were: Miss Arlena Young, Dr. Benjamin Early, Dr. Mordecal Johnson, Miss Mary Europe, Mrs. Gregorio Goins, Dr. Julius Carroll, Miss Lula Childress, Miss Camille Nickerson, Mrs. Robert Paskervil, Mr. John Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Shief, Dr. Carroll Brooks.

Southern Dairies See Better Business in South E. J. Mather, president of Southern Dairies, Inc., who has recently returned to Washington after a trip through the South, is more than optimistic over business conditions in this section. "From personal observation and from reports of our managers in various cities, I am confident that the South is well on the way toward greatly improved business conditions," writes Mr. Mather to Mrs. Ethel Murray, business manager of the Washington Tribune. "On the basis of this confidence we are materially increasing our advertising expenditures on Southern Dairies Ice Cream this year. By means of an intensive and sustained advertising drive, we expect not only to help Southern Dairies Calories sell more of our products, but to aid materially in raising the average per capita consumption of ice cream in those cities covered by our advertising, and thus provide dairy farmers with an enlarged market for their cream.

Copeland, U, S, Sen- ator from New York, At the eleven o'clock service, the Rev. _R, M. Williams, _ pastor, preached on the subject of “Mod. ern Substitutions,” and the theme of the Sunday services was carried ‘on when Senator Copeland declar- ed that “we have no substitutes” for character education, after com- menting upon character building organizations. Flays Schools In placing the responsibility. o character building, Dr. Copeland declared that the task falls so the home, church, and school, A claring that something was wrong with the school system, the speak- er stated that the objectives of the school system should be revised so as to fit the child for parenthood, livelihood, and social responsibility, After giving statistics which re- ‘Vealed “that. the average age o criminals is 23 years, and that the largest age group had an average of 19, and the next largest 18, Senator Copeland declared that to save the child “it must be given individual attention.” In closing his address to’ return to the bedside of his wife, who was injured in an Sone, accident, the Senator, admonished the audi- ence to give the child the benefit of Christian influences, Senator Copeland wag introduced by A.

Predicts Rough Sledding For Anti-lynching Bill (ie es kcoekea ida Peon) Paul Mallon, in his column on national affairs, the “Nationa Whirliwig,” a McClure Syndicate feature, predicts an ominocs. ené for the Costigan-Wagner anti-lyn- ching bill now in Congress, Writes Mr. Mallon: “Something always happens to anti-lynehing bills. They always get. mislaid for more important business and, when found, some senators have a sudden urge to talk indefinitely. Sohehow or other they never get a vote.

Roberts, People’s Counsel, was the guest speaker at the Federation of Civic Assoela- tions meeting Friday at the Dis- trict Building. Mr, Roberts as- ‘sured the delegates ‘that his office Was willing and eager to represent ‘the associations in matters per- taining to public utilities before the Commissioners and Congress, He expressed a dissatisfaction that of the volumn of business handled through his office, the col- ored citizens of the district are responsible for an extremely small portion of it. He spoke. on the difficulties of traffic and transpor- tation in Washington and offered several plans which would partly solve the problems. Favors Bus Service He favored express buses fi the ‘far Northeast in. lieu of the Present trolley service whieh he says does not adequately meet the neeils of the people in this terri tory. He said that he opposed the present loop bus service in LeDroit Park because “it does not go any- where.” After a talk with inter r- ties which he said Included ei ‘at Howard University, he a plan for bus, service which would originate onflower Fourth Street, Southwest, following a route along that street. to Judiciary Square, around that square and mainly up Fourth Street, Northwest, past Howard University and. MeBMilan Park to the main entrance to Soldiers Home where transfers uld be given B a eee i. serpice, Daginning at. Soldiers ahd “having a terminus on Wisconsin Avenue, Northwest, in the vicinity of Tenleytown. In speaking of the transportation problems for Takoma Park and the Petworth sections, he said he was opposed to the proposed plan to reroute all Georgia Avenue cars down town via Seventh Street as Seventh Street now has all the traffic it can conveniently stand. He offered a solution to this: prob- lem, which he says has been ap- proved by citizens in these com~ munities, to have the ears come down Georgia Avenue to New Hampshire Avenue and some other street to upper Eleventh Street, at whieh point the line would be « limited express line down town with stops at Eleventh and U and Eleventh and New York Avenue, only for the discharge of passeng- ers; the running of the cars to regulate traffic signals along the route in order to speed up the ser- vice. At Eleventh and New York Avenue, some of the cars to be routed west on New York Avenue, thence to Pennsylvania Avenue to the Nineteenth Street loop, Others would go to a Joop in the vicinity of Pennsylvania Avenue and Elev- enth Street. This plan did not meet the approval of delegates representing associations along the Eleventh Street line and when Mr. Roberts was asked what service he would propose for these people. he stated that a bus service along Sherman Avenue and Tenth Street down town would take care of the local passengers. ‘Approves Subway Taking up next the congested traffic and transportation facilities in the down town section due to a large number of governtent build- ings in a comparatively small area, Mr. Roberts said he approved of a subway system for the down town section, He proposed a subway to begin in the neighborhood of the new municipal center near John Marshall Place and Indiana Ave- nue, Northwest, thence west on D Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, (Continued on page 2) ee Ohio Business Men Visit Tribune Office 0.
