MINORITY GROUP IS CAUSING DISSESION Editor Says So-called "Turmoil" Can Be Traced to Door of Kelly Miller In an open letter to Harold L. Ikes, Secretary of the Interior, Ralph H. Jones, assistant editor of the Philadelphia Independent and president of the Philadelphia Howard Club, roundly scored Kelly Miller for his published open letter to the Secretary the previous week in which Dr. Mordezzai W. Johnson was labelled as impossible as an administrator of Howard University. Mr. Jones took exception to former Dean Miller presuming to speak for all the Howard Alumni in denouncing Dr. Johnson, He also urged that if Dr. Johnson be investigated that his accusers be probed as to any unethical conduct or misuse of their offices at Howard University. Dr. Miller Called Trouble Maker Kelly Miller was labelled as a member of a minority group of Howardites whose aim seems to be the undermining of Dr. Johnson, the present president. In the student uprising of 1931 in which a huge campus demonstration was made against the Trustee Board ousting Dr. Johnson, as his enemies then urged, Ralph Jones was one of the moving spirits in behalf of Dr. Johnson. The demonstration came just three weeks prior to the graduation of the class of which Mr. Jones was an officer The letter further charges that Kelly Miller and the group with which he is working is responsible for the major portion of the so-called turmoil that has characterized the past eight years of Dr. (Continued on page 3) Scott, Miller and Not Invited to Secretary of Interior Amor at Affair at Willard Dr. Mordeca Dr. Emmett J.

Omega Fraternity Sends Letters to Senator and NBC A wave of protest against an insulting epithet used by Senator Huey P. Long (Louisiana) in a speech broadcasted over Station WMAL and sent out over a nation-wide hook-up last Thursday night swept the Senator's offices and the National Broadcasting Company headquarters in New York, early this week. The local Alpha Chapter, of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, in a letter to the broadcasting company, sought a definite answer as to the policy of the company after an official of the local station, WMAL, advised them that Senator Long as a Congressman had privileges and that the company was without power to censure his address. Senator Long, speaking on his "share our wealth" program, used the insulting epithet on two distinct occasions. In another letter to the Senator, the Omega Fraternity said: "While the Negroes of this country would certainly like to share the wealth, to which they have contributed no small part, Alpha Chapter, of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, is of the opinion that your support to that end is unappreciated and not wanted unless your appeal can be made by a fair presentation of our actual conditions, based upon facts, discolored, and free from any epithet that is insulting, and no one is the judge of whether the Negro race is insulted but that race itself.

FIVE COUNTS OF LARCENY JAIL YOUTHS Youths Nabbed Leaving Dance Hall With Stolen Coats Sentences of 120 days each were meted out to 3 youths, two under 20 years of ago, in Police Court, Monday morning, on five counts of petit larceny involving the theft of clothes from a dance at the Masonic Temple last Wednesday night. All three, Robert H. Mickey, 19, of the 1800 block of Ninth Street, Northwest; Leroy Mathews, 19, 1900 block of Eleventh Street, Northwest; and Sterling Stokes, 24, of the 900 block of S Street, Northwest, were arrested by Special Policeman E. Williams at the dance auditorium. Policeman Williams nabbed the trio as they carried coats out of the Masonic building, to a car parked nearby. Questioned as to whose clothing they were moving the boys told the officer the coats belonged to a mysterious "Gladys and her boy friend." Gladys has never shown up yet to claim the clothes. Two women's fur coats, a cloth, a man's overcoat and a derby hat was included in the lot. Mickey and Mathews were arrested on the spot while Stokes was taken into custody later the same night. Complaintants against the youths in Police Court were James Lewis, Jay A. Williams, Sarah McGowan, Rebecca Gray and Mathew Gray. Dr. A. E. Kennedy Accused Second Time for Abortion Already facing trial in connection with one alleged act of medical malpractice, Dr. Arthur Kennedy, 47, 301 O Street, Southwest, was early this week, ordered held for the action of the grand jury on a second similar charge. The physician's detention followed a coroner's inquiry, Monday into the death, reputedly from criminal abortion, of 17-year-old white high school girl. According to the testimony of three friends of the victim, Robert Hall, his wife, Charlotte, and George R. Bender, all white, Dr. Kennedy performed the operation at his office on February 25, last. The girl died, Sunday at Sibley Hospital. Hall, his wife, and Bender stated they accompanied the girl to the doctor's office. Bender testified he paid for the treatment. None of these were held as accessories. In a statement to Detective Sergeant Jerry Flaherty, white, attached to the Headquarters homicide squad, Dr. Kennedy allegedly admitted performing the operation. He declared he had no other course as a physician, confronting a case where the life of a patient might be saved by the performing of an operation, though such operation may be admittedly dangerous. The defendant is already under an indictment in connection with an illegal operation which is said to have caused the death of Alice Virginia Naren, 23, white, of the 700 block of Kentucky Avenue, Southeast. The first victim died subsequent to December 14, last, the date of the alleged operation Dr. J. Brady, Dr. A. M. Dortzback and attaches of the Sibley Hospital staff also took the stand to testify against Dr. Kennedy. They stated that the physician-defendant had been identified by the girl when police took him to the hospital for that purpose. Chicago Speaker at H. U. Dr. Charles W.

The Most News Cleanest News Latest News Elsewhere 7 Cents JUDGE TELLS NEGROES TO QUIT REDS JUDGE TELLS NEGROES TO QUIT REDS Negroes were warned to steen clear of Communists by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court. Wednesday following the trial of George Matthews whose personal bond was taken after facing a charge of disorderly conduct at a relief station at 2403 Pennsylvania Avenue Matthews was charged by Miss Laura Neilson, director of the station, with creating a disturbance and swearing when he led a delegation there demanding relief. Matthews is a member of the Unemployed Council, an allegedly Communist organization. He has led many groups to relief stations demanding more adequate food. Only Got Promises He claimed that all they get is promises and the supervisors and case workers refuse to listen to their plea. "Get your own organization and work together and you will be better off," declared Judge Given. "I see many of your organization here in the court room and all are not colored. Don't listen to other people of the other race." The judge declared that Negroes would be better off without linking with the council and stated that they would fare better at the hands of relief workers. Some 25 known Communist leaders and members of the party were present in court. They declared that by his statement Judge Given wished to divide the workers as they have been before so as to keep them from organizing into one solid body to fight discrimination and other evils of the capitalist government. "You people want to run the government." Judge Given said. You people want to run the government." Judge Given said. He also told Matthews that he had been misguided and advised him to avoid the Unemployed Council. Matthews was questioned minutely by the assistant district attorney on the purpose of the organization, but the man became confused and failed to answer the questions coherently. POLICE TO PROBE DEATH OF MAN INJURED AT WORK An investigation into the death of Herman Harris, 1209 Fifth Street Northwest, is planned by police this week following an autopsy at the District Morgue. Coroner A. McGruder McDonald issued a certificate of accidental death on Monday. Harris died at Mt. Alto Hospital last Saturday from an injury he is allegedly received while on a work project at Soldiers Home for the EWA. He suffered a rupture while lifting a log on February 13 when another workman dropped an end of the log. Harris complained of being ill and applied to a Dr. Wooten at the District Woodyard for treatment. Later he was admitted to the hospital. Harris is a World War veteran, served over seas and was buried with military honors in Arlington Cemetery. He is survived by his widow, Mrs Mary Harris. Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte who represents Mrs. Harris stated this week that he will life a claim with the U.S. Workmen's Compensation Bureau, EWA Division, for $7,500. An investigation has also been started to determine if Harris received the proper medical treatment after his injury. Group Cut Classes to Attend All Day Hop on Park Road Charged with playing truancy from school to attend an 'al day hop,' twenty-five students of Armstrong High School, 14 girls and 11 boys were virtually suspended from classes last Thursday, following an investigation of the dance by Principal G. David Houston. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Mr. Houston explained that the students were not actually suspended from school but had been asked not to attend classes until the matter could be adjusted with each of their parents. Form letters advising the parents of "unsatisfactory conduct" of their children were sent each of the student's parents and immediately brought an influx of parents to the building for a conference concerning the matter. Invitations Circulated The party attended by the group of truant students was given last Tuesday at the home of Miss Harlet Caves, also an Armstrong student, 1000 block of Park Road Northwest. Invitations inviting students to attend "an all day hop" and listing the hours as 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. were circulated around the building last Monday among a select group of students. Those accepting the invitation "cut" school the next day and went to the hop. Everybody had a fine time partying until shortly after, noon when Harriet's aunt, Mrs. Wilhelmina Cooper, walked in unexpectedly. General disorder broke out at this time and all the guests left the house in a hurry. Incensed, Mrs. Cooper reported the matter to Principal Houston the next day. Her niece, Harriet Cayas, was one of the students said to have been suspended indefinitely. Denying rumors that Billyson reigned supreme at the affair, Mr. Houston fold the Tribute his investigation disclosed that "no rowdyism or misconduct" was carried on at the party. A number of non-students and former students were also reported in attendance at the "hop." No older persons were there. Among the students suspended were two cadet officers who are reported to be back in school at this time. Mr. Houston declared the fact that their leaders in the school being guilty of playing truant was a serious offense. He informed the Tribune that the officers would not lose their commissions but, however, would not be allowed to assume command of their military units until after proper discipline. Those involved in the affair were Harriett Caves, Elizabeth Smith, Helen Reverly, Gladys Hawkins, Rosalind Brent, Beatrice Hawkins, Vivian Marshall, Ruth Cole, Ernestine Fletcher, Blanche Peyton, Eloise Mills, Ellen Cooper, Clementine Nash, Aria Plummer. Alfred T. Druitt, Leroy Smith, Thomas Hawkins, Capt. Leon Braxton, Lt. Sylvester Hamilton, Lucian Stanton, Malcolm Jones, James L. Lucas, Joseph H. Hall, Hosea Brown and Curtis Brice. ANTI-LYNCH BILL GIVEN APPROVAL A favorable report on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill was voted recently by the Senate Judiciary Committee. No opposition developed in the committee meeting, and Senator Van Nuys, Democrat of Indiana, was authorized to draw up the report. In an effort to reduce cases of mob violence against prisoners taken into custody, the bill seeks to establish two preventive steps. First, it would make enforcement officers of any State or county subject to prosecution if they failed "to make all diligent efforts" to protect prisoners from mobs, or if they did not make diligent efforts to apprehend members of a mob. In such cases officers would be charged with a felony, upon conviction, could be fined up to $5,000 or imprisoned up to five years or both. Second, it would make States, counties or cities in which persons are lynched, subject to suit for damages to be paid to the families of the victims. ” CSCOMIN G?: Beginning Sunday, March 24 ae Irene Case Namur,s-.». — INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS Foon Ee 7 SPECIALIST AND HEALTH AUTHORITY e WILL DELIVER 3 FREE LECTURHS on b “The Chemistry of Food, Body and Mind” —AT THE— Mt.

Clarence W. Davis, head of the Department of Physical Education at Howard University was in receipt of a telegraphic reply this morning to his wire to Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the National Amateur Athletic Union regarding the refusal of Bishop Hart's entry in the D. C. Golden Gloves Tournament. The wire read as follows: "Clarence W. Davis Howard University. Entries in National Championships must be made thru District of Columbia Association. File Hart entry for Nationals with D. C. Chapter. If they refuse to forward it advise me and I will take the matter up with the National Committee. Daniel J. Ferris" Discrimination was charged to officials of the District of Columbia branch of the Amateur Athletic Union following the rejection of the application of Bishop Hart, Howard University student, to participate in the Golden Gloves championships sponsored by the District body and which opened last night (Wednesday) at Catholic University. Hart, winner of the Golden Gloves championship in Philadelphia in 1933, is a registered athlete in the Amateur Athletic Union. Despite the fact that he holds his credentials, local authorities turned thumbs down on his application to participate in the tourney. JOHNSON PASSES BUCK. Winfree Johnson, white, president of the District branch, when questioned as to his stand in the matter declared that he had nothing whatever to do with the acceptance or rejection of entries. He stated that James Sullivan, also white, was in charge of that end of the conduct of the tournament. Mr. Johnson admitted he knew of the rejection of Hart's application. Questioned further, Mr. Johnson said in reply to a query as to whether or not he knew Hart held an A.A.U. card, "I do not know if he has or not, but I believe he has." Asked if it was the policy of the Union to bar persons from their competitions because of color, Mr. Johnson replied, "The laws of the boxing commission of the District of Columbia do not permit mixed boxing in this city." BROWN DENIES COLOR BAR Immediately after the conference with Mr. Johnson, the reporter called Major Ernest W. Brown, police chief and a member of the boxing commission. The superintendent was asked if there was any such provision in the code of regulations for boxing in this city, which prohibited Negroes from engaging whites in the ring. He declared there was nothing in the regulations to prohibit mixed bouts, but added that the commission "discourages" it. DAVIS OPENS FIGHT Clarence W. Davis, head of the Department of Physical Education at Howard University, and coach of the Blue and White boxing team, fired the first gun in the skirmish against local A.A.U. officials. Shortly after he was advised of the refusal of the A.A.U. to permit Hart to enter the tournament, Mr. Davis sent the following wire to the New York headquarters of the national body: "Daniel J. Ferris, Secretary-treasurer, Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, New York City.

This assortment of stars showed too much experience for the future teachers who bowed only after a determined fight. Jones in Form Both teams were unable to get started at the outset, it being four minutes before Talbert, southpaw forward of the Teachers, registered the first goal of the game with a one handed toss. Lanky Jones, exhibiting plenty of his old time style, opened hostilities for the Fraters. The score continued to mount in the Fraters' favor with Bleach, Jones and Clark tossing in baskets in rapid succession until the Alphas led 18-10 at the half. The second period was a repetition of the first with the future teachers closing the gap by five points at the outset only to have the Fraters pull away in the late minutes of the game to win easily. | | G.F.

The Niters opened with their regular line-up but found that the visitors were completely out-assed so the first-stringers retired in favor of the reserves. Dickson, Bush and Wallace, with 13, 11 and 10 points, respectively, led the winners, while Henderson's 12 points were the best individual efforts of the invaders. Local Y Quintet Snowed Under by Baltimoreans In a preliminary encounter to the Howard-Lincoln court tilt at Masonic Temple, Thursday, the Baltimore Alerts, female champions of the Monumental City, soundly trounced the local Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. five. 33-4. The count at half was 15-2. DUNBAR QUINT FETED Members of the Dunbar basketball team were guests at the annual banquet held in the school cafeteria Friday. Speakers on the occasion were Miss Ruth Cave, J. W. Cowan, - Miss Julia Brooks, Charles H. Pinderhughes and Coach Perry L. Jacobs. Nathaniel Dixon was named captain of the Poets for next year. Teachers Not To Enter CIAA in 1935 Although his team played eight games against C.I.A.A. teams this season, winning five of them, Coach Martin, of Miner Teachers' College, does not expect to join the association next year. Martin gave as his reason the insufficiency of his athletic allotment. Joe Louis Kayoes Red 3rd Round of Los An Washington White Boy Hits Canvas Fo Referee Stops Fight; Colored S Have Named the Punch es Red Barry in Los Angeles Go Canvas Four Times Before Colored Star Could the Punch Joe Louis Kayoes Red Barry in 3rd Round of Los Angeles Go stirred restlessly as they watched Max Baer hammer Frankie Campbell's brain loose from the skull as the same referee, Irwin, looked on from a close position, yelled for the bolt to be stopped. "Do you want to have another man killed?" was heard from different parts of the huge arena. FANS FEAR FOR BARRY Irwin did not interfere and Barry was on the ropes on his feet, as the bell sounded. As the gong sent the boys back to the center of the ring, Joe picked up from the previous round and rained blows on his opponent's features until he went down. He gained his feet in a dazed position only to be sent to the canvass again from a right upper cup. Fans in all corners were hollering "Stop it," at this time and a few seconds after he once again staggered to his feet, Louis' hand was raised. While Barry was being led to his corner in a blind daze, Louis was receiving one of the greatest ovarious any boxer has ever bowed to in the West. Hundreds of both white and colored fans rushed to the North side of the auditorium, just to see the great Louis as he made his way to the dressing room. While some attempted to put the victor on the back, others yelled, "You said you were going to do it." That assertion was the aftermath of Louis' radio talk Wednesday night over N.B.C, when he predicted in answer to questions, "Oh, I'll knock him out in about the third," and he did. At the Furlong Pole as last year.

BY BYEON "SPEED" REILLY BY BRADS • SPEED REELY (For the Axiomated Negro Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Donald "Reds" Barry, carrot-topped heavy-weight boxer from Washington, D.C., has taken up much of the sports writers' time during the past week, informing them that, "I have never lost a fight to a Negro fighter, and I don't think I ever will." This (Saturday) morning, Barry has changed his opinion—he was forced to, for at the Dreamland auditorium before an estimated crowd of $13,000 worth of cash customers last night. Joel Louis battered the Dee Cec boy into oblivion after two minutes and 10 seconds of fighting in the third round. "Poker Face" Joe really scored a clean knockout, for the ropes were the only support that kept him standing upright. Referee Toby Irwin broke between the leather-pushers just as Louis was preparing to send over the "payoff" punch. Under the circumstances, the daily sport scribes called it a technical kayo, but call it what you may. Joe Louis extended his string of knockouts to fourteen. DOWN FOUR TIMES The bout really could have been hatted in the second canto, when Louis socked Barry into position with a straight left and dropped him like a log with a crushing right hand. Red was up at nine, with Louis shuffling in steadily. Joe did not lose his head after the knock down and after another bombardment of leather, Barry went down again. When he arose, Louis was after him like a tiger and many fans, who had Bent on giving local followers of the turf sport, the opportunity of seeing the best horse-flesh this section of the country has to offer, as he promised at the close of last season, Joseph B. Boyle, white, general manager of the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association, made a bid for and obtained earlier racing dates for the annual Bowie spring meeting, at the meeting of race track officials held in Baltimore last week-end. Mr. Boyle requested the eleventh-day period from April 2, and his request was granted, giving to Bowie the inauguration of the Maryland racing season. Havre de Grace will follow Bowie, and Pimlico will come along behind the "Graw." As usual, Laurel chose to take her full number of days in the fall, thus showing that she is content to let the other major tracks operate along the split-season lines. AVOIDS NORTHERN INFLUENCE With the opening of northern tracks threatening to rob Maryland ovals of some of the better-classed horses, Bowie officials expressed an intention late last year, of making an effort to avoid this during the coming year. Mr. Boyle therefore sought an earlier session for his track. This move will benefit both the track and the fans. The larger and better known stables, which usually follow the tracks offering the larger purses, will find no track operating in competition with the Bowie strip. As a result they will remain content to keep their horses on the popular Southern Maryland site, keeping them striving for victories in events there. TAX REDUCTIONS SOUGHT Another reason local fans are hailing the move of the Bowie official as a master stroke is that raising of purses is still problematical with no definite word having been received from the House of Delegates at Annapolis as to the reduction of the tax burden on the tracks. Conscientiously track operators are compelled to proceed under the assumption that the same purses will have to be offered FANS FEAR FOR BARRY PREDICTED THE ROUND Commandeurs Bow SPORT SCRIPTS Just as we thought when we read the announcement, there was no dance after the Alpha-Miner Teachers' College basketball game at Howard University gymnasium, Friday night...such false advanced publicity is the thing that has hurt basketball promotion in Washington for many years but Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and officials at the Georgia Avenue School, promoters of the affair, place the blame on H. U authorities. Some members of the orchestra were on the scene ready for action but were shocked to learn that no dance was to be staged. Now, dancing is not primarily necessary to attract fans to a good basketball game (only the faithful few out anyway) but when it is advertised the spectators expect it. *** Both, Leroy Scurry, president of Beta Chapter of Alpha, and Frank Davis, team manager, informed this writer that the Alphas had been given a signed permit to hold dancing after the game by the University Faculty Committee when initial arrangements for the affair were made. Two days before the game, the original agreement was rejected by the Faculty. Committee, and the Fraternity informed that no dancing would be allowed. University officials merely stated that "it is not the policy of the University to hold dances after basketball games. ... The previous night the Howard quint 'played Lincoln at Masonic Temple auditorium; and dancing was permitted after the game. The affair was promoted by the Lincoln Alumni Association, however, E. P. Davis, H. U., dean of Liberal Arts, was a member of the committee in charge of the latter game and dance. --- Incensed because of a foul called on him by Referee Milton Larry during the Alpha-Miner game Friday, Pinky Clarke, former Morgan College player now,ivoting with the Fraters, slammed the ball to the floor as an indication of his resentment...coming from an ordinary independent player such an unsportsmanlike gesture would have been bad enough, but from Clarke, HIM-SELF AN OFFICIAL, such conduct is unbelievable and probably explains a lot of things about independent basketball in Baltimore from whence he Kid Brown who claims the mid-dweight championship of the South was in the city for a visit this week. Brown known as one of the hardest hitting fighters in the Eastern rings, is seeking work. With the fight game definitely on the wane here, some erstwhile promoter might give this young Chester, Pa, boxer a chance. En route to his Pennsylvania home, Brown left word that he would be returning to the city Monday ready for any action that might be thrown in his direction. During his caecerked career, he has fought many topoichers, among them, being Pete Britton, Joe Dundee and Pete Laskie --- Martin (Baby Face) Pree, former Dunbar Hizh School star athlete and Lincoln University basketball, luminary, was lister a guest of honor at the Dunbar basketball team's banquet Friday but was unable to attend...the Lions had to play the Morgan College quint in Baltimore the same night so Coach Manuel Rivero objected to his stellar forward remaining in the Capital too late... too bad for Coach Jacobs for Pree's appearance would have been an inspiration to his Poets. Maurice (Fish) Jackson, water marvel of Armstrong High School's swimming team, will be permitted to compete in the school championship if the A. A. C. rules prevail...the amateur regulations provide that a player is eligible for competition if he has not been employed as a life guard within 90 days prior to the day of that meet...adhensive tape was used to mark lines at the Howard-Lincoln game at Masonic...Tiny Garner, lanky Lion center, didn't play in the fray because of a tiff with Coach Manuel Rivero...Gladstone Durant, Atlantic City boy, field down the pivot post in fine style...Bus Ballard, Lincoln guard, is the brother of Mrs. Laura Ballard, famed tennis player...Howard University's championship quint is slated to match baskets with the Monarch City Elks in New York Saturday. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Addison High, Roanoke, Captures Virginia State Cage Tourney Reign of Lynchburg's Dunbar High Team Halted by Superior Blue and White Quint; State College Again Host to Contestants By Tribune Staff Correspondent PETERSBURG, Va.—Climaxing Virginia State's eighth annual basketball tournament. Addison High School of Roanoke, Va., Saturday, won the state championship for Class A teams by defeating the Fooker T. Washington High School quint of South Boston, Va., while the Luenburg County Training School aggregation took honors in the Class B division by trouncing the Chesterfield County School team. The tournament, sponsored by the Virginia State College for Negroes, was perhaps the most successful in the history of the event. PETERSBURG, Va.—Climaxing Virginia State's eighth annual basketball tournament, Addison High School of Roanoke, Va., Saturday, won the state championship for Class A teams by defeating the Booker T. Washington High School quint of South Boston, Va., while the Luenburg County Training School aggregation took honors in the Class B division by trouncing the Chesterfield County School team. The tournament, sponsored by the Virginia State College for New groes, was perhaps the most successful in the history of the event. After eliminating Dunbar High School's five of Lynchburg, Va., last year's winners, in the semi- finals, the Addison outfiel literally walked off with the state champsi hip by smothering the South Boston combination under a 46-20 count. To reach the semi-finals, the Addison team scored a victory over the Virginia State High School. Captained by Slim Fields, a towering six-foot center, who was materially aided by two sharp shooting forwards, Sunny Thomas and Bus Calloway, the Roanoke quint had little difficulty with the South Bostonians. Between the trio, Fields, Thomas and Calloway, 40 of the total number of points were collected. The same three were the mainstays in the offensive attacks that eliminated Dunbar High from the tournament by a 46-25 score. With Thomas and Calloway gunning from all angles, Addison took a 19-2 lead at first quarter, 27-13 at half time, then coasted to the championship as the loser's long shots failed to find their marks. South Boston reached the finals by defeating one of the best teams in the two-day competition, Phoenix High School of Hampton, Va. The count was 26-25. Similarly in the lower division, Lunenburg County High School easily captured the title, trounc the Chesterfield County School quint, 30-19. The winners, led by the Banks Brothers Richard and Walter, and Junius Watson, grabbed a 9-0 advantage before the game was five minutes old and were never overtaken. Watson sank nine field goals for a total of 18 points during the fray. Chesterfields Have Jitters Having entered the finals after impressive victories over Moncure County School, Henry County High, and Effinger High School, the Chesterfield quint got a sad case of jitters and never threatened the Lunenburg march to the state title. Lunenburg disposed of West Point, Loudon and James Coty quints to reach the last round. With both teams wearing black and white uniforms officials and players alike experienced much difficulty in identifying players. The two final games, played Saturday night before nearly 2,600 spectators who crowded every available inch of space in the Virginia State College gym, closed the championship tourney in which 20 teams and over 240 players participated. President John M. Gandy of Virginia State College concluded the affair dramatically by presenting gold and silver basketballs to the first and second winners in each class, respectively, for their "achievement in basketball." Each winning team also received a bronze plaque, a symbol of the state championship. The gold medal, awarded annually to the lad showing the greatest amount of sportsmanship in the tournament, was presented to Rollins Clark, player on the Loudon County Training School. Clark was selected by Officials Sam Lacy, and Edgar P. Westmoreland, and tournament managers Harry R. Jefferson and James D. Barnes. ADDITION G. F. P. SOUTH BOSTON G. F. P.

Skidding and sliding over the polished floor of the dance hall, the Lions with Martin ( Baby Face) Pree, former Dunbar court captain, leading the way, spurred to the front early in the encounter to go ahead at half time, 22-14. A foul toss by Herbie Jones, H. U. freshman, and a twin-bill from the sideline pushed the C.I.A.A. champions into a 3-0 advantage at the outset of the tilt but when the forces of Pree-Henderson and DesVerney open an onslaught on the cords the Bisons' lead dwindled into a distinct disadvantage. Upon resumption of play, the Lions increased their margin by five points until the Howardites were behind 15-27. Spirited by the replacement of White in the lineup by Pinn, the Bisons launched a determined rally that all but carried them to victory. Successive double deckers by Bootnose Williams, McArthur, Taylor, Pinn and Wynne mounted the Bison count to 25, within two points of the Lions' score. Then, the arch foes matched point for point until the count stood deadlocked at 34-all. Durant, at center for Tiny Garner, registered from the floor, and Ballerd added another point from the charity line to send the Lincoln score to 37. Howard matched this late rally with a field goal by Hampton, who substituted for Williams, out on four personal fouls, and a foul toss by the dependable Willie Wynne but Desverney snatched victory from the Bisons by looping one from midcourt. The game, played as a benefit affair under the auspices of the Lincoln Alumni Association, drew nearly 1.000 fans. HOWARD G.F.P.

The Wiley College basketball team, of Marshall, Texas, took the first of a two game series with the Golden Quintet, here Friday night, winning by a score of 53 to 24, and then came back Saturday afternoon to win the second game, 52 to 38. The Wildcats brought to the campus the most finished five that has been in action on the local court since the Renaissance team dazzled a packed house here in January. The Wiley players had the uncanny ability to hit the hoops from various difficult angular floor positions and were the most consistent charity tossers that the Tigers have faced this season. Patterson, of Wiley, moved to the stripe eight times. Friday night and looped eight gift points in as many efforts, and in addition, he accounted for sixfield goals, making his credits twenty for the evening. The Texas tossers missed only one free throw out of eighteen tries.

Johnny hit the canvas in the seventh.... Herman Wright on paper is the race's best bet in the featherweight bracket of 1935 Golden Gloves campaigners.... Wright, believe it or not, is more colorful than Joe Louis and in his class is a better boxer, so the boys in the know, say. South Boston High Five Wins Southside Play LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.

FRIDAY, MARCH 15 FOURTEEN Like the Bolero, "Rumba," beginning a week at the Lincoln Theatre with George Raft in the starring role, promises another of those mysterious dance interpretations. On Screen On Stage The time having arrived for his yearly stop in Washington, Don Redman, the diminutive Harlem baton-wielder, promises patrons of the Howard Theatre a royal flush in entertainment during the week beginning tomorrow (Friday). He claims to hold an ace in his 15-piece orchestra. And with this ace, Redman runs King Harlan Lattimore, Queen Bea, Foote, a ten spot in Roland Holder and Dusty Fletcher, the Jack. The twelve fast-stepping chorines, Redman describes as a suit of hearts—except one. He's the thirteenth card, the deuce of spades. Shep Allen, manager of the Howard, after watching the Redman group in its preparatory paces, stated that his house will be the scene of some gala times during the week to come. Allen is most enthusiastic about the way his "Audition Night" (Fridays, 9 p.m.) idea has been received. On the screen, Barbara Stanwyck will be presented in her first dramatic production of 1935, "The Woman in Red." Said to be even greater than Stanwyck's "Secret Bride," or "Fugitive Lady," "The Woman in Red" promises great things for lovers of cinema entertainment. Blonde Raymond plays the leading role opposite Miss Stanwyck in this story of a woman whose sealed lips sealed the fate of a man. Booker T.

Their holiday leads them to Italy where Miss Harding solves her problem of an unhappy marriage.

The story is a very ably constructed one of an inventor-pilot who perfects instruments for bling flying. He is actually blinded before he can hop off on the flight which will prove his instruments. He needs money to carry on his experiments and the way Myrna Loy obtains it for him forms a thrilling incident in the picture BROADWAY THEATRE 1515 SEVENTH ST., N.W.

An enthralling and dramatic love story set to the rhythmic tom-toms of Cuba's fascinating dance rhythms, the picture combines musical innovations, drama and handsomely mounted photography to furnish spellbound entertainment. The story of "Rumba" is that of a Broadway dancer, played by Raft, who is exiled to Havana by threats of gang vengeance. He desires to return to New York in face of the gang threats and on his opening night they put the finger on him. He decides to go through with his performance and this makes one of the most dramatic climaxes ever witnessed. Raft's dancing of the rumba is something to look forward to seeing.

NEGRO IS MASTER OF SYNCOPATION SAYS DR. DYKES Howard Professor Tells Music Society Folk Songs Show Poetry The National Music and Literary Society at its meeting place, 1728 Corcoran Street, Northwest, Tuesday, heard a lecture on "The Negro's Contribution of Music to the World," by Dr. Eva B. Dykes of Howard University. She analyzed some of the songs of native Africans, showing their originality, and the effect of Negro music upon the music of other peoples with whom the Negro $ ^{9} $ comes in contact in considerable numbers. Some of the countries thus affected are France, Germany, Italy, Russia and the United States. One of the distinguishing features of Negro music, she said, was the use of the minor third, often employed to express a pathos that no race but the Negro has felt. Answering some critic who has said the Negro was not poetic, she said that most of the folk songs of the Negro were outbursts of poetic thought. As to rhythm and syncopation the Negro is a past-master, Dr. Dykes said. "Not only has the Negro attained $t_0$ a high standard in music, but also in the field of science, and of government as seen in ancient Egypt at the pinnacle of her power and glory. The Rev. C. S. Jones, by a statistical summary, showed that the Negro was capable of establishing more and better business which would aid the economic betterment of the race. Other contributions to the program were: solos by the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. William Chambers of Virginia accompanied by Miss Florence Patterson, violin solo by Carlton Dorsey, accompanied by Edward R James. Remarks were made by Mrs. Cordeia Lyle, Miss Cleotis Dalton, Miss Florence Patterson, Miss Thompson, John Dye, and James A. Davis. Miss Josephine Patterson was the mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Leola Bannister, the president, closed with commendatory remarks.

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPL A HINT ABOUT VEILS There is something very alluring about a veil. The woman who wears one becomingly adds a distinct touch of mystery to her personality. But there is one veil a woman should never wear no matter how flattering it may be to her beauty; this is the dotted veil. The dots in the veil are very injurious to the sight and must be discarded every time. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Younger Set Nice Bed-Time Story . . . Did any of you brats from down home (Louisiana) hear "Dictator" Kingfish Huey Long the other night? From the text of his speech, it looks like the boys down yonder will get a break (maybe their necks.) from the Senator.

WINCHELL IN CARDOZO BY JUDIUS NEWMAN A Missive From My Good Man Friday Dear Finchell: I understand that the cute lassies who gave the swell swinger at the Y Friday nice rate oracles. The affair jet out just before a bunch of fellows arrived who were supposed to do a little crashing for which Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurran! I also learned that Mr. Julian Brown escorted the lovely Blackburn sisters and after the ball was over he learned that the Patterson V8 wanted to escort them home. Well, Julian speaks up and cries "What would mother say" and so, the sisters decided to return as they came via ye old taxi."Rambling on...Attended the Whitelaw last Saturday eve where the Royal Cavaliers held sway and Jack, was things mellow--Only three pieces of noise but how they did beat out that rhythm—I still hear the din of their clatter... The floor was greatly brightened by the arrival of the Misses Helen Lewis, LaVerne Evans, her sister, Ermine, the cute Alice Parker and Miss Mary Newton. Their arrival made one feet more at home. Perhaps the highlight of the affair was this. The lovely Bermice Jefferies enchanted one James Wilkerson of Alexandria so much until the lad was inclined to ask a few heart questions. However, when he found out that her escort had a standing of nearly two years he promptly gave the jibe cup as up a hopeless one, I believe the later became attached to a young miss in green, who was she, James? P.S. if the girl friend peeps at this, tell her its a joke— Introducing a new style direct from Little Paris (U Street) one Mr. J. M. Came down sporting a huge white collar and tie pin (minus the tie) for which with your permission presents him with stale scallions... More of them to the lads (names omitted) who indulged in fire water for which the club is not to be blamed. Lucenda Mitchell fell to the affair without the great Napoleon. What's the matter? ...James Dent presented himself without Miss Vivian Hall. Figure that one cut. The honorable president of the club, Melvin Ailer, ran into a snag with his heart, Miss Edna Fray and most of her whole evening was taken up by another lad. Wonder is Mr. Ailer in danger of losing out? Wonder—Yowsir, towards the end believe it or not, the music became so mellow and so enticing that a couple of males joined hands and swung lightly around the floor. This caused me to think that a flood of laughing gas had suddenly been turned loose on the crowd. (One million is offered for their names.) I noticed last week that those gentlemen of the press who earn their daily corn bread by cutting down items in order to save space made a complete jig-saw puzzle out of your script, and now I strive to repair some of the damage done... The sketch linking Miss Edna Collins with a Mr. James Dent was a farce. Harry O'Kelly was the lad in mind and Mr. Dens was linked with Miss Vivian Hall as stated. I hope that's settled. And now, lets give Mr. Rucher's son and others a little advice, quote "Little boys who like to map up a columnist in or around a school building usually wind up on the outside looking in". A well known figure in the building will support this. Nuf sed... Here's a little skit that rate orchids. It all deals with Miss Quintella Davis who strange as it may seem, imported several gentlemen to her birthday party to jibe her. The reason? It appears as though a John Campbell, her secret passion, is somewhat a bore to her. That's strange, too... Well anyway, even after pulling this trick on the lad he walks up to her and exclaims "I still love you"... They gave a lunchdown here last week and the freshmen turned in the most jack (money). The seniors and others should be ashamed of themselves. However, this column presents orchids to the following stands: sophomores, seniors and post-grads. The highspot of the affair was the following: M. C. Clifford could be seen running around the hallis advertisit his huge bargain, he yells, "Fi-tickets (five cents each) for twenty-five cents". Yet that's a bargain. Haw! The pupils who dressed the junior evidently intend THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MARCH 16, 1935 THE MOUTHPIECE The Black X FREEMAN MURRAY Alphas Too Much The hard fighting Minerettes were not just up to the standard of the undefeated Alpha basketball team, it was just a case of too much class. This makes the 10th consecutive win by this all star frat championship team. The Omega Mardi Gras was a scene of much hilarity, and strange to say, it was hilarity without ranks, passouts, or fighters in spite of a crap game with six insece dice that blocked the entrance. Little Miss Valierie Parks won undisputed first prize for being the best undressed coed at the affair. The X was surprised to see Jimmy Bayton dragging Iona Woods, Holoman escorting Polly Scurrock, Harry Hueston followed by Hilda Evans who wore Madeline Murray's coat, and Vincent Cephas with Muriel Kellog. From the Tau Deltas comes the news that Harry Hueston and Hilda Evans conducted a frantic but futile search for Clarence Lewis and Madeline Murray. Now I did not say they were together at the time, but at least Clarence found the back exit useful...Elizier Amos was well occupied by the attention of Paul Cook...Virginia Mitchell evidently didn't see any fun waiting for Charlie Carter after she had been stood up for eight dances, which were all in favor of Virginia Fowler...Eddie Coleman escorted Isabelle Parker to the dance and here's betting that she was the last resort, just the same as another was to Arthur Gambrel... And Such a Basketball Star Windy Wallace, Alpha's sure shooting basketball ace, and his companion Billy Pipin, varied from the usual line of manly pleasures and accompanied a few of the featured artists at the Howard Theatre (fags), to the Black and Gold. From the looks of things at the Miner-Alpha game, "Timid Soul" only holds second place in the life of Rosalie Reid. Do tell is Edward Early that bad a man?...It's been rumored that there's a mutual understanding between Gladys Martin and Henry Kone since their recent estrangement. Don't blame Henry for that; Gladys got the hilftop title as the "First Queen". Elizier Amos's name was proposed as a pledge for the Miner Key Club and up jumps Kitty Campbell to sing her song, which was evidently "No, No, Nannette". Thus we leave Elizier with one to the good on Kitty by having Paul Cooke escort her to the Tau's. Love seemed to be just around the corner for Sara Wyche and Stanley Neyson at the Omega house after the Madri Gras. That's the way it ain't easy; the family objects to the boy friend and the girl falls in love. Wouldn't be a bad idea if Perry Howard put his costume into practical usefulness. Dooley McNeil seems to be slightly hen-packed. All that Josephine Simmons doesn't see won't worry her. Therefore Joey pays no mind to his night dates with the little Tiltlett girl. Charles Williams is being given the run-a-round by one of the tame women of the resovoir. Alda Brock had no intentions in letting Diggs get away from her in so short a time. No doubt about it, that must be the reason that she returned to school. A Budding Personality Thar's mutiny at Miner in regard to the Black X column, all of which was started by one of the teacher college skoirts who brags of her toughness and then can't take it. All that the X has to say is that the party in reference is one that has spread more fictitious falsehoods around this good old town than any other dame of my acquaintance. She is a lover of cheap note and the cheaper it comes the better she likes it; she is a chiseler at heart and beats anybody out of anything she thinks she can get; she has an idea that she has a certain athlete all gaga about her when in truth she is only tenth fiddle to his dynamic personality. This delightful character showed her true self when she reported three persons that she thought were connected with this column $t_0$ the authorities of the Miner institution. Here's hoping that she will recognize her own description as she is seen by her fine friends and even her own cousin. Scottie Sox seems to be very to become funeral directors from the way they crimped the paper. Good luck keeds in your future career. They do make money.

Who signed the peace treaty first? The Greatness of Love This week's "Pink Butter Cups" go to the Mr. and Mrs. Harry Robinson. The bride, Gwen Herriford and the groom, Happy (Bet Out) Robinson announced their consolidation last Friday to their much surprised friends. We should send an extra buttercup to Gwen for being one of the few women who can keep a secret as the hitching was done last October. The X wishes that youse pals would announce your news on Wednesday so that I won't have so long to wait before printing it. Only a Rumer The gossipers have it that the wife of Sweets here is coming to live with hubby here in the city. Where will Ihez Gwynnee be standing as soon as Katie Beth Mills makes up her mind and truly decides that she can do without Walter James? It's a ten to one shot that Everett Cooper will come home without being coaxed. Willur Edmonds must have given up his boy-friend, "Cupid," in order that he could get a chance with S. B., whose popularity with the local boys is so overwhelming that it makes Edmonds look like the Lost Chord. Frank Coleman has a liking for southeast women these days, anyway he didn't have to spend the n-i-ht to prove his admiration for her. I hear that Lucille Davies and Little Rip Naylor are keeping their frequent meetings a secret. Those big brothers will certainly black ball a pledge for taking their frails. But I know that Billy Brooks would not do a thing like that. Harrold Nickens has at last found a girl that will wear his Phil Beta Sigma pin. Oh well Pearl is only a freshman, so I guess she will learn. Chols Seys The Madridioners held their mid-winter prom at the Masonic ballroom Wednesday night, March 6.

However, several of those who faced dismissal are back at their studies at the request of their honored principal. The main office was packed with standing room only on last Thursday morning. To snow his authority, in order to prevent further dismissals, the various classes and clubs are sponsoring dances on fridays.

LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKER The Social Modernities' Anniversary Prom The prom given by the Social Modernities last Friday night at the Y.M.C.A. was a gay affair. The members of the club are Misses Kathryn Stockton, Elizabeth Banks, Mary Lane, Erinne Evans, Edith Mercer, LaMarr Addison, Mary Lee, Marjorie Mallbry, Thelma Saunders, Christine Mathews and Gwendolyn Ware. Among the guests present were Misses Nancy Meritt, Grace Sears, Placide Washington, and Helen Lacy, Dennette Harrod, Jessie Foster, Barrington Tate, and Doland Stewart. I am sure Harold Hyman is sorry that he left the dance to go to the Continental swinger. The New Railtos will entertain the younger set at a Friday night hop at 1244 Girard Street. Birthday Party a Social Highlight Miss Dorothea Talor was hostess at a birthday party given by her sister, Miss Phyllis Taylor, last Saturday at 751 Park Road. Serib game was the main feature and John Barnes was made to push a baby carriage, Miss Lula Roebuck acted the amusing part of a drunkard, while yours truly had the fascinating task of making love to a young lady. The repast which consisted of many delicious eats and drinks was pleasing. Among those present were Lula Jenny, Betty Roebuck, Juanita Newbury, Bertha Jackson, Duticho Cousins, Christine Johnson, John Brent, LaBert Colbert, Arthur Jones, James Robinson, Monroe Thally, and Herbert Hardin. The brother of the charming hostess traveled from his Wilmington, residence to be present at this well served party. Love in Bloom It must have been love in bloom to cause Anna Queen to give Luke Walt a birthday party, last Thursday. But to Anna's desire to keep Luke's age a secret only one candle was put on the cake—yes she made a cake for him too. When An Athletic Gets Thrill The Dunbar basketball team held its annual banquet in the school cafe last Friday evening. There were many thrills for the fortunate athletes as Percy Pitts tried to make a response to a certain teacher's remarks and words failed him. Nathaniel Dixon was elected the 1935 basketball captain. The new captain tried to make a speech but Webster was also against this lad. Yours truly sym- D.C.-What became of my two dinner plates? Answer: The party you had last Saturday night seems to have been a rather wild affair. When you were out spooning with your old boy friend you missed all the excitement for the lady next door get mad at her husband and threw your two DINNER PLATES at him-Don't get sore at her-She had too much spiked punch and didn't know what she was doing. L.S.-Will my husband get a good job when he some here? Answer: Your husband has no intentions of coming to the city you live in for he told you when he left that he would never live with your people and he means to stick to it. He appears to have a temporary job now and if you want to keep your marriage from going on the rocks, you had better go to him-He'll never come to you. C.E.-Please tell me if I go look for work can I find a job? Answer: With the experience you have had, you shouldn't have a bit of trouble finding a job. The HOTEL BUSINESS in your city appears to be in its best season now, and there is plenty of room for experienced help. You will have more success finding a job of this type than any other at this time of year. E.H.-Will we get to go home any time soon? Answer: During the spring and summer months you will live on your father's RAILROAD PENSION and will stay where you are now. It will be the latter part of 1935 before you will have enough money saved up to go to your REAL HOME. W.O.S.-I am 12 years old. Do you think I will finish school? Answer: During the year 1936 you will finish high school with the rest of your class, but that will not be the end of your education. Your father wants you to go to college, and it seems that you will join him in the state of Tennessee, where you will complete your schooling. D.F.M.—Will you please tell me what is the trouble in my home? Is it my fault? Answer: It certainly is. FIFTEEN pathizes with his efforts as he has been in the same boat. Well it seems that Ruth knew Nathaniel would make the grade. Fashion Show to be Held A fashion show, revue, reception and dance sponsored by the Asbury Sunday School will be the social highlight on March 9th at the Lincoln Colonnade. The charming Jean Taylor and her merrimals will entertain the guest. To all who are looking for fun and good music, visit the Hollywood Dance Studio this Monday evening, March 18th, at 132 Sixteenth Street, Northeast The Continental Flops The attempted swinger given by the Continental Club turned out to be one of the year's biggest flop which was due a great deal to very poor arrangement. Now the club is threatened with distraction as Harold Hyman and Thomas Flannigan may tender their resignations. Armstrong Proudly Accepts Crowd Judging from the crowd that attended the swingers given at Armstrong, this institution's gymnasium should be transformed into a dance hall. Miss Dorothy Boston was seen at last Friday's dance. So this young lady has decided to attend Tech's affairs? Keep it up. Miss Alice Nelson is also a regular patron. I wonder if it is a Teck boy friend? Tech's seniors are giving their dance, Friday, at the same old meeting place, and it is rumored that the school will give a dance every Friday. Maybe the other schools will work up to Tech some day. The Personality Girls Club is giving a dance at the Crystal Caverns on Friday, March 23. This is news. The Little Women's Club is giving their dance at the Masonic Temple. Howard Contee and John Duncan were seen trying to crash the social Modernistics dance at the Y.M.C.A., Friday night. After finding their way blocked they went to a joint on Fifteenth Street. Did the local girls and boys pitch a ball, Saturday morning at the Lincoln Colonnad? Well, I'll say they did. Everything from the shim sham shimmy to the Joe Bingham was done. Such personalities as Yvonne Jones, Grace Sevier, and Jean Taylor were present. This columnist got his share of swinging to the red hot tunes of Bill Baldwin's Orchestra. A Correction John Ellis is not married as was stated in this column last week. That is, not yet. main trouble is that there are too many people there. With all your aunts and cousins there, there is no way for you to keep peace in your home. There is no sense in you letting them run over you the way they do. They are just as able as you are to make a living, and are using you for a good thing. W.P.—I want to know when my mother and father will let me do what I want to. Is it the reason I have in mind? Answer: You shouldn't think such things about your parents for they aren't really mean. They know you got into trouble once before and they don't want you to start TAKING COMPANY until you are old enough to know how to take care of yourself. By the time you are 16 you'll be old enough to know right from wrong. L.M.—Please tell me what is wrong with my boy friend and his sister? Why did he tell me what he did? Answer: Your boy friend and his sister have something "up their sleeve" and are trying to get you involved in it. That is why he told you what he did Saturday night. This is a very personal matter and should be answered privately. See note attached to this column and write to me for a private reply. J.C.—Am I blaming the wrong person for the loss I had? Answer: You are not. When your sister-in-law went to visit her aunt in Arkansas, she wanted to let her aunt see what you looked like and that is where the picture of you and your husband is now. Don't bother about trying to get back for this woman is real and will probably get more picture out of it than you ever will. J.K.P.—What is wrong with I married life? Answer: You have been married twice, and to very desirate mates, and the trouble you have was entirely your own fault. You haven't enough consideration for other people and are always looking out for nobody but your own self. If you expect to ever be successfully married you will have to cultivate more of a give and take pronosition. ered in this paper—ONLY when a red in your letter.

Snowden Keyes Called "Habitual Drunkard" By Suing Spouse Accused of being an "habitual drunkard, suffering illusions, hallucinations and other mental disturbances." Charles Snowden Keyes, for many years one of the city's best known sportsmen and billiard parlor proprietor, was carried into court on the receiving end of a suit for limited divorce and maintenance fixed early this week by his wife, Mrs. Annie E. Keyes. Mrs. Keyes, living at 1315 Florida Avenue, Northwest, described a life of misery with the once prominent business man of the Capital whose name was a by-word for all who spoke of social and sporting life. Began Early Married a little less than 15 years ago, the pair lived together blissfully for only a short period, according to the plaintiff's petition. Shortly after taking the marital vows, Mr. Keyes became his wife avers, a heavy drinker. He indulged, she states, in a life of inebriation, and though it was unpleasant for her she tolerated it in the fashion of a conscientious wife. During the years since their marriage, the defendant-husband has been, twice placed in institutions in an effort to cure him of the habit. Each time, Mrs. Keyes, declares, he showed improvement for a brief period following his release, but soon returned to the drinking practice. Says Business Neglected The wife complains that the occasions on which she has been beaten are "too numerous to mention". She further avers that even at the time of the filing of the bill of complaint Mr. Keyes was in the midst of a drinking overt. He refuses to do better, Mrs. Keyes goes on to state, and as a result she finds she can no longer live with him. Although he receives approximately $400 monthly in his poolroom business, which he operates at 1908 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, Mrs. Keyes tells the court he has not provided for her nor their three children, all boys, aged 13, 11 and 7, in several years. She also avers that she is informed he has neglected his business and stands a chance of losing it to his creditors. This is pointed to in an effort to strengthen her claim that Mr. Keyes is negligent Three More Appointments Made in Labor Dept. Three additional appointments have been made to the staff of the United States Department of Labour, recently. The persons appointed are Miss Gertrude Porecher, of New York, who has been assigned to the Research Division; and Miss Louse Oger, of the District, who, with Miss Mervice T. Clifford of Maryland, has been assigned to the Teletabling Division. Golden Rule Union Plans For C. E. Convention Christian Endeavor officers and members of Golden Rule C, E Union plan to be among the 35,000 delegates in attendance at the International Christian Endeavor Convention at Philadelphia, Pa. July 2 to 7. "We Choose Christ" is announced as the convention theme. Its features will include great mass meetings of young people, a series of forums and classes and conferences dealing with vital issues and church work, a number of fellowship activities, daily devotional meetings, and a citizenship parade. Plans for organizing a representative delegation from this area, which has sent as many as 150 young people to similar conventions in the past, are in charge of Elphonzo W. Freeman, transportation and registration superintendent. Dr. Ralph Bunche Speaks to Negro Forum Dr. Ralphe Bunche, head of the department of political science at Howard University, will be the speaker at the next meeting of the New Negro Forum, to be staged at Berean Church, Eleventh and V Streets, Northwest, Sunday. Dr. Bunche's subject will be "Racialism in a Period of Social Change." The New Negro Forum is sponsored by the New Negro Alliance, and is designed to conduct a series of nine meetings at which items of vital current interest to the Negro will be discussed. The first meeting of the Forum was held, Sunday, at which time Professor Emmett Dorsey, of Howard University, spoke before a large audience on "Racialism and Negro Institutions." By tracing the history of the Negro's attempts at self-expression since Reconstruction Days, Professor Dorsey attempted to show that nothing constructive or of any consequence will come to the Negro as long as he isolates himself and attempts to work out his salvation along racial lines. Deeds Recorder to Speak at Third Baptist Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, will be the principal speaker at services to be held at Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q Streets, Northwest, Sunday Dr. Thompkins has just returned to the city from an extensive tour of the south.

LAWYER CONFESSES GUILT Probation Officer Gets Case for Investigation; Remanded Pleading guilty to two charges of false pretenses, Henry D. Dolphin, member of the Roanoke, Va. bar, was ordered held under $1,000 bond by Judge John J. McMahon in jury branch of Police Court late Wednesday until an investigation by probation officers is made. Unable to make bond, the Virginia lawyer was remanded to jail to await the report of probation officers Saturday. Meanwhile, friends and his attorney, Timothy W. Fisher, were seeking funds to post bond for the Roanoke bar member Dolphin was arrested last week by Precinct Detectives F. B, Ashe and D. D. Pittman and Headquarters Detective J. D. Wanamaker, white, following an investigation of the alleged false pretense practices of the Virginia lawyer. When arraigned he entered a plea of not guilty and demanded a jury trial. At Wednesday's jury court session, he changed his plea to one of guilty. Bad Checks Involved Dolphin is alleged to have passed bad checks on two local merchants, one a downtown clothing dealer and the other an uptown liquor store o.erator. They are said to have been in amounts of ten dollars and one dollar, respectively. In addition to the charges brought against him by the local department, the Virginia practitioner who has made his residence in this city for the past year, is reported to be a fugitive from the Roanoke city authorities. A count similar to the one lodged against him here is allegedly hanging fire in the southern jurisdiction. Dolphin who lives at 1522 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, was once contributing editor of the "Blast," defunct weekly publication of various local amusement organizations. Would Organize West Virginiaans Here E. H. Nunnally, president of the West Virginia State Society, and A. M. Arbuckle, manager of the United States Senate Cafeteria, both native West Virginians, will be principal speakers at the organization meeting of the West Virginia Social Club, to be held at Moses Hall, 1421 T Street, Northwest, next Thursday night. Robert W. Towles and Charles E. Pearis, two local youths who also claim the mountaineer state as their native home, are interested in forming an organization that will function both in social and civic affairs. Towles made the announcement late this week that he is anxious to have 'all West Virginians interested in joining the West Virginia Social Club should be present at the Moses Hall meeting which is to be held on the third floor of the T Street building.

Hitt sentenced "Sir Galahad" to six months in jail. Faced with the continued absence of his Fair Princess who was locked in the Tower of Terrors, the Women's Receiving Home in the 800 block of Potomac Avenue, Southeast, Hawkins, who for his chivalry will be hereafter known as "Sir Galahad," decided to do something about it. Posed as Brother Passing as the brother of the Fair Damsel, in this case 16-year-old Regina Newman, "Sir Galahad" visited the Tower of Terrors on several occasions finally telling her: "I will rescue you from this terrible castle," Everything was set for Monday morning at 2 a.m. At the appointed hour, "Sir Galahad," armed with a brick and a jimmy scaled the walls of the tower via the fire escape. Fear never entred the mind of "Sir Galahad" for under his breast beat a heart staunch and true. Without being detected he reached the fourth floor. Still intent on rescuing his Fair Damsel, "Sir Galahad" jimmied the screen from the window which would give freedom to his Lady Love, Regina. In the same room were seven other girls, all ready to grab this chance of escape. But, lo and behold, "Sir Galaahat's" plans were thwarted. Just as he walked in the room, a police matron opened a door at the other end, Hawkins unlike the bold, bold knights of odd, fled down the fire scape minus his Fair Princess. Someone named the gallant knight and, Wednesday, he was captured by Detective W. Salkeld of the Fifth Precinct and locked in a dungeon at the station house. No law could be found that would hold Hawkins for aiding detained receiving home guests inasmuch as the place is not a penal institution so "Sir Gahad" was charged with destroying private property. In court, he said: "I have nothing to say." Judge Hitt replied: "Six months."

E. Group Concludes The Christian Endeavor Societies of Washington and Vicinity had as the topic for discussion at the services held in their various ser- viees: “Crime Does Not Pay!” Sun- day. The consensus of opinion at the close of each of the services was that crime with all of its glamor, notoriety and easy money does not pay. Crime, it was found, either leads to a early death or a life in prison, On the other hand, the Endeavor- ers concluded that the life of a Christian is a direct contrast to that of a criminal. The services of the Young Peo- ple’s Society of Christian Endeavor of the Third Baptist Church were led by Mrs. Fannie Morris Reed. Cato Adams of the Armstrong High School was the speaker. Music during the services| was furnished by the Christian Endeay- or chorus under the direction of William H. Smith, Others Who appeared on the pro- gram were: Mrs, Bessie R. Taylor and the Rev, George 0. Bullock. The scripture lesson during the service was taught by Mrs, Ger- trude Freeman, Miss Iola E.

Coughlin Twelve million Negroes are sitting on the sidelines enjoying the three-ringed fireworks being displayed by Father Charles E. Coughlin, General Hugh Johnson and Huey P. Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana. Of the triangular affair, America's tenth approves of the Detroit priest, especially so since his blistering attack on General Johnson last Monday evening over the radio. Huey's "nigger" speeches give a true picture of the man despite his "share-the-wealth" program. Of course, Johnson is impossible as far as the Negro is concerned. Father Coughlin's fair-mindedness, not only in all of his addresses, but particularly his address a year or so ago when he gained the plaudits of the Negro race for his fearless attack on jim-crow and segregation in this country won many colored adherents to him. On Monday night Father Coughlin again made it plain that every citizen, regardless of race, religion, color or profession, is entitled to a fair deal in this country. The very frankness of Father Coughlin in dealing with the various problems has not only won him the support of the Negro, but the masses of whites as well.

Time For Showdown Determined not to stand idly by and permit disgruntled troublemakers to wreck Howard University, hundreds of leaders in the country are organizing to give the true status of the so-called "turmoil" at the institution. Two other outstanding newspapers have followed the lead of the Washington Tribune in fighting the attack on Dr. Mordecal Johnson and the university. The latest to join the ranks of the Tribune are the Pittsburgh Courier which came out in a strong editorial last week supporting the administration, and the Philadelphia Independent. National figures in all walks of life are sending in letters to the Tribune praising the stand this paper has taken. A group of well-known Washington leaders are forming an organization to combat the attack of those connected with the university who have been responsible for sending private documents of the school to a newspaper. Those who are responsible for these leaks will be brought to account and made to explain how and why these papers got out of the university files. Other disclosures of a sensational nature will be revealed to a long-suffering public who has been forced to read a lot of tommy-rot from the pens of persons who are seeking political advancement. The Tribune feels pleased with the response received since its attempt to protect the great institution from being wrecked at the hands of a selfish minority group. A man's life is full of crosses and temptations. He comes into the world without his consent and goes out against his will and the trip is exceedly rocky. Mussolini Might Reflect If Mussolini the militant Italian war lord could visit Weeksville it might effect a change in his mad African adventure. Here in this ancient part of Brooklyn he would find thousands of his former countrymen living side by side, and in many instances, occupying the same buildings with descendants of Darkest Africa. In this American Metropolis these people despite barriers of language and primeval traits enjoy the most harmonious relationship. Here is the true Melting Pot! The children play together, they attend the same schools, they learn to know and respect human values. The neighborhood reflects the friendly attitudes which abound where the spirit of the lowly Nazarene exists The village of Weeksville was established over a century ago n a section then known as the Ninth Ward. It took it's name from James Weeks, the first colored free man to purchase property in that section. Its boundaries cover the territory from Howard Avenue on the north, Sumner on the south, Bergen Street on the east and Decatur on the west. At that period the village had neither church nor a school. Today scores of churches abound, and schools, both public and private, to supply community needs. Ickes Gives Lie to Miller's Charges "...as the fathers and founders began to fall away, the faith and confidence of the benefited people began to wane; and we look for bickering, commotion, strife and strikes in Negro colleges, almost as the natural order of things," asserts Dean Miller. All complaints against administration unfounded, says Secretary of Interior in reply to letter by Kelly Miller who seeks to have President Mordecai Johnson removed from office. Only fractions of unfinished investigations and biased reports have been given public. Ickes says real progress has been made under present administration. The following correspondence has taken place between Secretary Ickes and former Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard. The public can readily see for itself from a careful reading of the letters just what the real bone of contention is at Howard. Feb. 26. 1935 Ickes Writes to Miller My dear Prof. Miller; In our conversation sometime ago, when you asked me why I had not visited Howard University, I believe I replied that I had not been invited. I attached no significance to the remark at the time but I have been informed that the remark was construed to mean that I thought I had not been paid the proper respect by the administration officials at Howard University. I am writing to clear up any misunderstanding which may have resulted from that remark. As a matter of fact, when speaking to you, I had forgotten that I had been invited to make the commencement address last June at Howard and I was unfortunately not able to accept the invitation because of a conflict with another engagement. I should like to add that I am greatly pleased with the progress that has been made at Howard University under the administration of President Mordecai Johnson. Yours truly, HAROLD L. ICKES, Secretary of the Interior. Feb. 27, 1935 Hom. Harold L. Ikes, Secretary of the Interior, Washington My dear Mr. Secretary: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of even date herewith, and note with appreciation what you say about your having been invited to visit Howard University. Your expression of interest in Howard University and of your satisfaction of President Johnson is assuredly interesting, coming from the chief official of the Government under whose auspices the public funds for the maintenance of this Institution are administered. I feel that you are entitled to and would welcome the frank, unbiased opinion representative of the six thousand graduates of Howard University and twelve thousand sometime students, concerning the present administration. Having spent fifty-five years as boy and man, student, teacher and official in this Institution, I feel some degree of competency in expressing that judgment which, let me assure you, is fully without animosity or bias but solely in the interest of My Alma Mater. The gravamen of complaint against President Johnson's administration grows out of the fact that for the past eight years he has kept the Institution in a continual state of turmoil and confusion. There has been perpetual dissatisfaction and strife in the faculty, among the alumni and in the Board of Trustees. This state of strife increases rather than diminishes with time. The internal turbidence is reflected in the public press and on the floor of Congress. The President seems constitutionally unable to get along with his co-workers. At one time or another, he has been at violent odds with many of his major professors and administrative officers. There seems to be no abatement of this strife, so much so that the University is frequently referred to as the "War College." Now Mr. Secretary, you must know fully well that it is utterly impossible for the educational and character building processes to function amidst such strife and confusion as this. Sometimes ago you ordered an investigation of rumors concerning the misapplication of public funds. Your investigators found such startling irregularities and misfeasance that they recommended the advisability of requesting President Johnson's resignation. The vast majority of the faculty, alumni, and of the interested public as well, believe that without prejudice for or against President Johnson, his usefulness in connection with Howard University is at an end. I think I ought to add that the alumni, faculty and Trustees joined in, all but to a man, in welcoming the advent of President Johnson as the first colored President of this great educational enterprise. He received their unanimous support as long as his own conduct made it possible. It would indeed be a great calamity to the Colored race should the first colored President prove a failure. Perhaps I had better say that it is a great calamity to the Colored race that the first colored President has proved a failure. There is absolutely no wisdom in perpetuating and intensifying that calamity. The University merely selected the wrong individual with whom to conduct the experiment. The failure of Mordecai Johnson is not the failure of the Colored race. Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, Dr. John Hope, of Atlanta University, and Dr. McCrorey, of Johnson C. Smith University have conducted these educational trusts with efficiency and satisfaction for a number of years. There is no reason why a satisfactory colored man might not be found to succeed President Johnson at Howard University. At the risk of wearying you, I venture to add that Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson is a man of great powers and possibilities. He possesses unusual facilities of speech and persuasive power of public appeal. His high qualities and attainments, however, are better suited to other than to the educational field. His mind does not move on the educational axis, he is essentially a prophet, an evangelist, a moral and social reformer. He has the infallibility complex natural to all prophets, which disqualifies him for working in institutional harness. That large financial and material gains have come to Howard University under the present administration, cannot be gainsaid. Dr. Johnson is too fair minded a man, however, to claim more than a medium of credit for the good things which have come during the early years of his administration.

Says Civic National Forum will not consider merge with others. To the Editor: Last week's article on the "Clash of Three Rival Forums for Public Support," was of peculiar interest to me. When I came to this city in 1917 as a Federal employee, my chief ambition was to aid in establishing a national association of forums for adult education and unifying and harmonizing race activities. For several years, I was as "a voice crying in the wilderness;" for few people understood, some opposed, and none would assist. However, it is quite interesting to hear that this same stone which was rejected by so-called race-builders has become the bone of contention by some of the "young blood," who are ambitions to wear the insignia of "race leadership." Personally, I have no craving for "race leadership," and I am sure that the Civic National Forum is not in any mad race for leadership or supremacy. I do not believe that the Civic National Forum will seriously consider "merging" with the various mush-room organizations that are starting from time to time. However, we are friendly to all and will cheerfully lend any assistance in our power. Our only wish is to render a real, worthwhile public service. To us the Forum is no luxury or plaything, but a grave necessity. No race or nation can be permanently built with a forum. The Forum is a panacea for many of our racial and national lilies, the much talked of Depression included. It has been largely through the Forum, that Jewish people in the United States have become a wealthyy, prosperous, influential group. Of course, I know that these statements are rank heresy to many people; but that is all right. We will come to them again. The Civic National Forum welcomes men, women and children, to its fold, regardless of age or station; but it was never organized to antagonize any group or individual. L. C. FARRAR. Nation's Press Against Attack on Howard U. The outstanding papers of the country which have given serious consideration to the so-called "turmoil" at Howard University not only back the stand taken by the Tribune, but many have come out and flayed the attackers of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of the university and his administration. The Pittsburgh Courier says "the propaganda against Dr. Johnson has been incredibly petty, and in instances has reflected no credit on those staging the fight." The Courier further says: "The battle centering around Howard University continues to go on. Charges are hurled back and forth, confusing students, faculty, alumni and the general public. "The man on the street keeps wondering what all the shooting is for. He was sympathetic years ago when the chorus of complaint was against the president, chiefly because he happened to be a white man. "The man on the street thought the confusion would stop when a colored president was named to replace the white man. But it seems rather difficult to please some colored people. Many of them would cry hunger in a grocery store. "The agitation has kept up ever since the colored man has been president, and often seems to be more vicious than that directed against his predecessor. The propaganda against Dr. Johnson has been incredibly petty, and in most instances has reflected no credit on those staging the fight. "When there was a white president, the opposition clamored for a colored president. As soon as a colored president was appointed, they got out their axes and hatchets and went to work on him. One wonders whether they are really sincere. Certainly their persistent campaign has only served to hurt the school, not to help it." The Norfolk Journal and Guide whose editor is a member of the Board of Trustees of the university says we should not be disturbed by the present clamor as only one side has been heard. The Guide also warns against attaching to much credence to newspaper attacks. The Guide further says in part: "Those who are interested in Howard University—and there are some hundreds of thousands who are—should not be disturbed nor misled in their judgment by the continuing agitation by external elements of the administrative affairs of the university; should await public disclosure of all the facts involved. "Until this is done it would not be fair to President Johnson, members of the road of trustees, and others concerned with the administration of the university, to attach too much credence to newspaper attacks that are published anonymously. "The public should know that only one side has been heard in the matter of the government investigation of certain alleged irregularities in the expenditure of Public Works Administration appropriations to the university. The public should know that this investigation was an ex parte affair; and the public should know, also, that the government has been called upon to conduct numerous investigations of this kind since the Public Works Administration was set up. "The board of trustees of Howard University is well informed as to the sources of the present agitation for a breakdown of confidence in the present university administration. A large section of the public is similarly informed. A large section of the public is acquainted with the trials and tribulations of former administrations, some of them originating with the chronic clamor for a change. Clamor for change finally resulted in placing a member of the race at the head of the university. Continued clamor may result in a loss to the race of that responsible and strategic position in the field of education. "If anything is wrong at Howard the public may rest assured that the trustees will not tolerate it. But the trustees should not, and we believe will not, be stamped into doing a rank injustice to one, two, or more men, now connected with its administration, in order to satisfy an ex parte indictment based largely upon uncontrolled emotions. "There will be action, positive, and we hope, just, when all of the facts are in hand, and when everybody has had his day in court." Writer Agrees with Tribune in Opposing Negro Commission By George Howard Mack I have no doubt whatever that all thinking people of color must view with growing concern the ever-increasing tendency toward establishment in this country a dual or two-standard citizenship as between the so-called white and black races. I have no less doubt either that here in the nation's capital race prejudice, though perhaps assuming somewhat a different character, is increasing rather than diminishing. It is a far cry back to the halcyon days of yesteryears, when white and colored lived and played here together and discrimination was scarcely known, to the present, when the segregationist's mailed fist threatens him in every public arena except three—street cars, Union Station and the ball park! And while we hold our conferences, and racial "experts" meet and "resolute," Jimcrow cars still race through the city streets with their Negro cargoes safely thatched in the carrier's tail. Irionically enough, offices of some of the Negro "commissions" are situated in the huge Commerce Building on fourteenth Street, pass which these Jimcrows go flittering all through the day. We just somehow wonder why gentlemen of the commissions won't stick their heads out of the window to at least get a glimpse of these birds of prey and their victims. Jim-Crow Churches In a measure, the abominable condition of discrimination and its resultant segregation is being forced upon the weaker group, sometimes out of sheer wickedness but more free under the guise of beneficence. Advantages are sought to be shown in jimcrow churches and schools—another way of justifying race prejudice—but, not satisfied there, it also stretches out into other ramifications of life, including transportation, recreation, amusement, residential policy, and even governmental activity. But the most appalling aspect of it is that this condition's most fertile field exists in the credulity of the Colored group itself. In the end, the Negro will of course come to grief; for he cannot consistently fight residential segregation promoted by private enterprise, on the one hand, for example, and on the other, hand, be found prodding the government along in its pretense at slum-clearance by erecting jimcrow neighborhoods on a much wider scale. While joining whole heartedly with the Washington Tribune's editorial rebuff to the ideal of some kind of another Negro "commission," which now seems fondling around in certain political quarters, yet I also am fearful that the Negro leader is losing much of the enthusiasm that once evidenced his crusade against injustices inflicted upon him, and either is resigned to such fats or is satisfied with anything offering an excuse to cease his righteous warfare. The editorial in question not only is a challenge to the intelligence of an apparently sleeping populace, but is withal a solemn warning in the ears of every man, woman and child of color whose vision of life rises beyond the mere expendencies of this day. Does not Help Race Common sense and experience both show that the appointment of "commissions" or special "experts" on Negro affairs does not even begin to solve the race problem, but rather tends to encourage it. The recognition of race prejudice in this manner not only is a naive acknowledgment of the part of the government that it exists, which contends legally it does not, but clothes it with social and political dignity that makes its eradication impossible. A commission whose life depends upon such a condition scarcely could be expected to inflict premature suicide by destroying immediately the very essence of its own existence. Once the condition passed, so would the need for the commission. All politicians we know like jobs. T. THEO PARKER Important facts relating to tuberculosis which cannot be too widely known: 1. Tuberculosis can be prevented. 2. Tuberculosis can be cured. 3. Tuberculosis is communicable. 4. Tuberculosis is not inherited. To fully protect others the patient should: 1. Burn all his sputum. 2. Use separate eating utensils. 3. Never allow another to use his napkins. 4. Sleep alone. 5. Keep his face and hands clean. 6. Use long sheets on his bed and have them washed frequently. To fully protect himself the patient should: 1. Never swallow his own sputum. 2. Never use a handkerchief to wipe sputum. 3. Sleep as nearly outdoors as possible. 4. Work only in open air. 5. Eat the most nourishing food. 6. Rest on the slightest evidence of weariness. 7. Avoid all alcoholic drinks and tobacco. 8. Keep out of all smoke and dust. 9. Remember that patent medicines are of no value in his case. 10. Consult the best physician he But just why is the Negro such a unique problem as to require special treatment anyway—if, indeed, he is a problem at all? It isn't economic, for he buys, wears and eats what every other race does, paying the same price, in the same market and using the same kind of money. Is he disloyal to his government? No. Is he lawless and disregardful of the rights of others? No. Is he lazy or untrustworthy? No. Is it because he is ignorant and inassimilable, as some say? No. Negro not a Problem No; the Negro is not a problem except insofar as the American people would make him. Among the first to shed his blood for the country's independence, he has fought side by side with his white fellows in all their wars. Sacrifice in his country's honor was never too great, and sufferings consequent to war have taken from him a toll which only less-favored people could pay. His breast has ever been bare to the darts and barbs of the enemy's snakes, though, at times, known to be battling for a cause calculated to hold him as bondman and slave. The Negro has violated laws, of course. And so have millions of the "superior" group which made them. But in spite of these violations, the Negro lawbreakers does not approach the marauding brigands kidnappers, lynchers, yegmen and bandits infesting our country sides and terrorizing the citizenry of every hamlet and town. He has not stolen babies from their cribs, men and women of wealth from their liberty for ranson; nor has he dragged innocent victims from the very law itself and fed their bodies to flames in fiendish triumph. Work? Yes. He has always worked. For over 250 years he toiled as slave, felling forests, converting swamps into gardens, building railroads and highways through the jungle, and shrewding the nation in its garment of cotton—all for nothing. And he still works—when he can get it; when he can break over limitations common to us all, and in addition, scale the barriers erected by organic design. If government figures are reliable, Negroes gainfully employed during normal times compare favorable with their white brethren. Any question of dishonesty would be lost in the reflection that giant utilities empires do not crash about their cars with such portent as to make any member of the group seek asylum among strange people, in far-off strange lands. What is the Problem? If the problem then is thought to be one of assimilability, one needs only to look around and observe the bleaching process going on within the Colored race through stimuli of white agencies. So much has this intermixture progressed that a really black colored man attracts far more curiosity than a real colored white one. This leads to the conclusion that the Negro needs no special governmental set-up of any kind, any more than do Jews, Greeks, Italian, Germans, French, etc. But he does need one or two things: He needs either a leadership that will cease blinding him to the things as they truly exist, while telling its own belly on political swill at the troughs of governmental commissions; or it needs a government whose administration of justice knows neither race nor color, bondsman nor servant, in awarding to all alike the enclosures that result from allegiance and service to one's own native land. A few "commissions" and as many jimcrow departmental units do not surface to repay the faithful millions of the race whose loyalty to their government no one has ever found reason to question. Assured and insured an equal opportunity with other citizens, and then let alone; the Negro would experience a newer emancipation. can, and conscientiously follow his advice. 11.

Again House Restaurant Bars Negro Citizens; Mitchell Not to Interfere A group of colored women who accompanied several white women as members of a peace mission from Father Divine's Los Angeles Temple, were denied service. In the restaurant of the House of Representatives last Monday. Pat Johnson, restaurant manager, told the colored women they could not eat there and they left quietly. Last year when Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman Oscar DePriest, was denied service in the House restaurant, Mr. DePriest made a sensational fight to open the restaurant to colored citizens on the same basis that white citizens were served. Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell who has succeeded Mr. DePriest eats in the restaurant and takes his friends there too, but he has indicated that he believes the issue involved is too small to devote much time to or make a noise about it. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES "I hate men who talk like philosophers, but do nothing." Montaigne, the great French philosophical essayists (whose essay technique I hope to approach some day) is given credit for the aforementioned statement. I believe, like Montaigne, that true philosophers are greatest in action. In this connection, I am happy to state that, at last, I have found four separate and distinct groups of Federal employees of color who seem to have realized that action speaks louder than words. Let us take first, William (Bureau of Fisheries) Jackson, who as chairman of the entertainment committee of Interdepartmental Lodge No. 20 of the American Federation of Government Employees, with the aid of George (Coast and Geodetic Survey) Rycraw, and David (Division of Negro Affairs) Peter, made all the arrangements for promoted, and supervised a recent Federal Employee dance, and after paying all bills, turned in a sizable audited sum to the President of the Lodge. Jackson, as far as the Newshawk knows, received no compensation for all of the time, energy and money, he spent in making this dance a success. Someone had to accept the responsibility; he accepted it and did an enormously difficult job exceedingly well. The Newshawk believes that there are in the Federal service in Washington many other young men of Jackson's caliber who are willing and ready to help in any movement to bring about a better social relationship among the various messengers, clerks and laborers in the various departments. Why not join a Federal employee organization for six months or so and see for yourself if there is any good that you can do? Call William L. Jackson, 209 Florida Avenue, Northwest, North 1715 and learn something of the work of Federal organizations for Negroes. There is Clifton (Liberty Loan Division of the Treasury) Carroll, a public spirted Federal employee of color who is anxious to do whatever he can to consolidate the organizational activities of Negro Federal employees and to give wide publicity to any achievement of any of the group. One of Carroll's co-workers (ex) William Powers recently passed the bar, so he and other messengers, clerks and laborers of that division conceived the idea of giving a stag for Powers. After much yeoman work by Carroll, Tignor, Percy and the rest of the Liberty Loan gang, the stag was given. William (Interior Department) Hastie, the recently married assistant to the solicitor of the Interior Department. Attorney Edward (N.A.A.C.P.) Lovett, Alvin (Treasury Department) Webb, columnist, forum group leader and magazine editor and the Newshawk were a few of the featured speakers. We need more of affairs of this type (acknowledging constructive achievement) and less purely social gatherings. Mr. Carroll and his co-workers should be complimented on their successful handling of this affair. I wish I could attend such an affair at least once a week. Boyd (Commerce) Clarke, Robert (Interior) Bates, William (Veteran Bureau) Johnson and a host of other Federal employees, are members of the New Orleans University Club are giving on Saturday March 9, at the Odd Fekows' Hall from 8 until late, a bridge and whist tournament, the admission to which including the checking of wraps will be only thirty-five cents. This organization composed of—in a large measure—messengers and clerks in Federal service has the reputation of being one of the few organizations in Washington to maintain, over a period of four or more years, a reputation of giving perfect service to not only whist and auction bridge card players but contracts as well. They have devised a system where it is virtually impossible to cheat, be cheated, or experience any discomfort or inconvenience while playing. With a membership which includes Drs. Joliet, Erazier, T. C. and A. G. Smith, Judge James A. Cobb, Pearl (Pearlie Prattle) Cox and others who move in that section of society, giving prizes; it is not strenge that all persons are always satisfied with the prizes awarded the winners. $G_{0}$ out and see Federal employees of color bring Federal efficiency into pleasure. Alvin (Treasury) Webb, an extraordinarily far-visioned, young news commentator from the West Indies, is sponsoring a young folks forum each Sunday afternoon at four at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. If you want to know what many young Federal employees of color are thinking on significant current events; drop in one Sunday afternoon. I could tell of Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis, Jr.'s parliamentary law club held at the Y on Thursday nights, or Julian (Government Printing Offices) Branch's New Negro Alliance; but am interested in a consolidation of three or more of these groups. I know that just like other groups Negro Federal employees will divide. But it is my opinion, taken from bitter experience and observation, that divisions hurt us more than other groups, because we divide too much and stay divided too long. What is worse, we become divided over too many trivial matters. Consequently, when something really significant comes along, we are too busy harboring our grudges and scheming and plotting against each other. Naturally, worthwhile things escape us. I am going to offer next week a plan which should furnish a nucusus for an organization of Federal employees of color which will be remembered centuries hence, possibly, probably decades and surely a number of years from today. ***** There is Clifton (Liberty Loan Division) a public spirited Federal employee of co-occur he can to consolidate the organizational employees and to give wide publicity of the group.

Ickes Gives Lie to Miller's Charges Ickes Gives Lie to Miller's Charges (Continued from column 2) universities at that period had dumped into their laps more money than they knew what to do. With those in charge of such institutions at the time, deserved little more credit than the river bed can claim for the freshet which overflows it. Allow me Mr. Secretary, to commend and compliment you for your steadfast interest in the welfare of the Colored race, both before and since you became Secretary of the Interior. Your interest in the welfare of Howard University is appreciated and extolled by trustees, faculty and alumni and the Negro public throughout the United States. This interest cannot be centered in any individual whose personal fortune or misfortune must be made secondary to the well being of the institution and of the race for which it stands. Sends Letter to Johnson It is a source of great regret to me, personally, and I am sure to all others who are devoted to the interest of Howard University and the colored race, to know that your interest in this behalf has caused you such annoyance in your endeavor to uphold an impossible administration. Yours truly. KELLY MILLER. P.S. I shall be glad to release your letter to the press with your permission. Mar. 1, 1935 The following is the letter that I sent to President Johnson and to members of the Board of Trustees: My dear Sir: I am enclosing herewith, correspondence between the Secretary of the Interior and myself bearing upon the Howard University situation which, I am sure will interest you. I might have added in my letter the fact of administrative inaptitude of President Johnson as disclosed by the muddled state of the building program after the Government had made ample provision of several millions of dollars. I might have also added the more distressing fact that the morale of the faculty and student body is at a lower ebb than at any time during the history of the institution. This lamentable state of things cannot fairly be attributed to the alumni as some are disposed to do. The alumni had nothing to do with the charge of communism which raged so furiously a few years ago and which still has Congressional repercussions. Many of the outbursts have been due to President Johnson's own appointees and his relations with them. Such was the case with Dr. Donawa the dismissed head of the School of Dentistry; with Mr. G. if the janitor charged with padding the pay roll; with the case of Dr. Julian head of the Department of Chemistry; with the dismissal of Dr. Shohan professor of Chemistry, with Mr. Thompson, assistant in chemistry who brought suit for the alienation of his wife's affections against Dr. Julian; and still more recent, with V. D. Johnson, treasurer and with Mr. E. A. Hope, supervisor of grounds and buildings involved in the misapplication of funds, the responsibility of which must be lodged somewhere between the president and those officials. In none of these instances can the fuss and confusion be attributed to the alumni but to the president and his own appointees. Cites Many Ruptures I might also add the rupture between the president and the university architect; between the president and the dean of women; the rupture in the School of Law, resulting in the resignation of Chief Justice Booth and seven white members of the faculty; the upset and unsettled conditions of the School] of Medicine; the all but universal dissatisfaction of arbitrary, inequitable and whimsical distribution of salaries; the case of Emmett J. Scott, culminating in a suit for libel against Dr. DuBois the editor of the Crisis who apologized for the libelous publication based on false information. I might also add the rupture between the president and Mr. John Sherburne, former president of the Board of Trustees, which resulted in his elimination and that of the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt from membership on the Board; and likewise the ominous rupture within the board itself—for all of these President Johnson and not the alumni must bear the chief brunt of responsibility. The alumni in taking cognizance of the deplorable state of things, are exercising a becoming interest in their alma mater.

The welfare of Howard University, supplying the higher education of the Race, is at stake. The welfare of the institution must outweigh the fate of an individual however deplorable that fate may be. I am assuming to address this letter to you as Amieus Curii (Friend of the Court). This assumption is based solely upon my long years of devotion to my alma mater and the Colored race. Yours truly. KELLY MILLER. Mar. 4, 1955 Letter from Ickes my dear Professor Miller. In answer to your letter of Feb. 17, I shall like to say that no investigation of the Dep't of the Interior has shown to my satisfaction that President Mordecai Johnston is guilty of any malfeasance or dishonesty. Whatever turmoil may have been caused at the university or in the press seems to me to be more properly attributed to those who are anxious to remove or succeed President Johnson. I regret very much that some of these people have undertaken to give to the press fractions of unfinished investigations. Such biased reports are bound to mislead the reading public and to do Howard University no good. All complaints against the administration of the university should be taken, in my opinion, not to me, but to the Board of Trustees. As I have said before, I think real progress has been made at Howard University under the administration of Pres. Mordecai Johnson and I hope very much that it will continue. Yours sincerely. HAROLD L. ICKES. Secretary of the Interior. March 6, 1935 Answer to ticks Hon. Harold L Ickes, Secretary of Interior, Washington. My dear Mr. Secretary: Your favor of March 4 reiterating your faith in the honesty and integrity of President Johnson and expressing the hope that he might continue as President of Howard University, is now before me. I did not in my letter accuse Pres. Johnson of malfeasance or dishonesty. I used the term malfeasance not malfeasance, which was justified by the report of your own investigators who recommended his removal on the grounds of irregularities. Honesty and integrity by no means constitute the sole qualifications of a college president. Unpaidable blunders may be as disastrous as calculated misdeeds. You attribute the turmoil which has raged at the university during the entire term of the present incumbent to those who are anxious to remove or succeed him. I am now seventy-one years of age and have been retired from active service. I am deeply interested in the removal, or rather, the withdrawal of Pres. Johnson, not by reason of any personal ambition or interest in any particular person to succeed him. My only concern is my Alma Mater and the welfare of the Colored race. I was among the most ardent admirers and advocates of Pres. Johnson which came near wrecking his administration and from which he is not even now wholly exonerated. But I cannot defend the indefensible. An administrator who cannot keep peace and harmony and inspire confidence within the ranks of his subordinates can hardly accomplish anything worthwhile. The progress which the university has made under the present administration, with which you express satisfaction, is essentially of a material nature. A university is devoted to the inculcation of knowledge and character and not the display of grounds and buildings. Those constitute a poor offset to the steady degeneration in character and moral tone. The Morale of the faculty and student body is at a lower ebb under the administration of Pres. Johnson than at any time during this history of the institution. The administrative inaptitude of President Johnson ought to be well known to you by reason of his bungling the building program after the Government had made the appropriation amounting to several millions of dollars. Your Department has several times reckoned him by withdrawal or impounding of allocated funds because of his dilateriness and vacillation Although the expressed opinion of the Secretary of the Interior of his confidence in the competency of the President of Howard must inevitably carry great weight and influence, yet under the Charter the appointment and dismissal of officers and the administration of internal affairs is vested in the Board of Trustees. You are perfectly right, therefore, when you suggest that all complaints should be lodged with the Board of Trustees and not the Secretary of the Interior. I cannot help, however expressing the candid judgement that using the weight of your official position and personal prestige with the Board of Trustees and the public, to continue the administra THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

I am surmounts of the entire assembly. Washington's socialists were royally entertained on last Friday evening at the Masonic Temple, when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, gave their fourth annual Mardi Gras. The costumes were quite varied. Pretty, novel and grotesque, perhaps, would describe them all. They ranged from the ballet-dances to the chef cook. There were Italianes, Japanese, Chinese, bowery girls, Satans, Colonial ladies, bathing beauties, chorus girls with sparkling brocaded shorts and head gears and what not. The Omega members stood out in their attractive highly colored silk blouses. May I say, the members were certainly busy trying to please. A certain Mr. Whitted was so busy, guests could only snatch a word here and there. However, here's thanks to them all for a most enjoyable evening. I am sure that I voice the sentiments of the entire assembly. And now, listen. Everyone is talking about the big testimonial to be tendered Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre. You must make arrangements to go and give our good friend a big send-off. "Shep" is a fine chap. He has tried and is still trying to please his patrons. He always has a pleasant smile, a hearty hand shake and a good word for everyone. Come on, and all let's give "Shep" a rousing good time. Thomas F. Walker, James N Ward and Linwood E. Welch.

HUGE EDUCATIONAL PROJECT PROPOSED SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MARRIAGE CLAUSE MAY BE FORCED IN D. C-SCHOOLS Number of Employees With Husband or Wife in Service is Asked If the Board of Education declines to retain married teachers in the District school system or refuses to employ them because their husbands or wives are employed elsewhere in the Government service, it will be the only governmental agency in the District observing the rule. This statement was made to the board last week by Dr. Hayden Jonhson, president, who said he had been advised by Vernon West, assistant corporation counsel, that elsewhere in the District government the ban had been disregarded since the Civil Service Commission interpreted that part of the national economy act as inapplicable to the District. One Section Applies The Corporation counsel's office interprets the second paragraph of section 213 of the economy act, applying to the employment of workers, as not affecting the District. The first paragraph, which refers to the reduction of personnel, does apply, saying that married employees whose spouses are employed by the Government shall be the first dropped from the rolls when reductions become imperative. The question was raised again when Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, said he had received through the District Personnel Board a questionnaire inquiring the number of persons dismissed under section 213 and the number now employed in the schools whose husband or wife is employed by the Federal Government. To Force Measure 16 Force Measure Henry Gilligan objected to answering the questions on the ground that the law does not affect the schools. He was told they came from Representative John J. Cochran, Democrat of Missouri, chairman of the House Committee on Expenditures in the executive departments, who plans amendments to the law to force its application here. Cochran announced sometime ago that as author of the act he knows that Congress intended it should apply here and if it does not now he plans "to put teeth in it." Dr. Ballou said only one person was forced out of a job because of the married persons provisions of the law, although several teachers voluntarily resigned under the impression that they would be forced out anyway. HIGHLAND BEACH PROPERTY BOUGHT Dr. John E. Washington, secretary to the commissioners of Highland Beach, summer resort, recently purchased a strip of land in the vicinity of the exclusive colony which will be sub-divided and sold as lots.

Bay Highlands is a white summer resort and white persons have been seeking to acquire the land for some time. The tract was purchased from the estate of the late T. Frank Myers. The amount involved was not made public. The new property is about one-quarter of a mile long and 400 yards wide. The acquiring of the strip will alter in a degree the main road that enters Highland Beach.

Although his efforts to get medical aid for his grandmother at 8 a.m., Saturday morning, proved futile when the aged woman died suddenly, McCleland is being highly praised for his attempts by both relatives and friends, old and young. The lad and his grandmother, Mrs. Rebecca Lane were alone in their home at 764 Columbia Road, Northwest, his father being on night duty. Aroused from his sleep by peculiar notises, McClelland awoke to see his grandmother faint upon leaving her room. The boy called her and she did not answer. Frightened, McClelland ran to the telephone and called the family physician, Dr. Brunner, a remarkable act for a child of his age. But McClelland's heroic efforts were cheated of their just reward by fate as the woman was dead when the doctor arrived on the scene.
