Tennis Star Gets Indeterminate Term on 10 Charges STILLWELL HEARS FATE WITHOUT ANY EMOTION Irresistible Impulse Was the Cause of Burglar Tendencies The familiar figure of Lonnie Lewis Stillwell, once an ardent devotee of the local tennis courts and formerly a junior at Howard University, will be missing from the clay courts of Washington for at least five years. Stillwell, lately known as the "Toothpick Burglar," was given an indeterminate sentence of five to fifteen years in the penitentiary by Justice Jesse C. Adkins in District Supreme Court, Friday afternoon, following his guilty plea on ten charges of robbery and grand larceny. The term will be served at Lorton Reformatory. Appearing in court neatly dressed in a brown suit, the pockets of which were bulging with newspapers and a popular magazine, Stillwell heard the sentence calmly and without apparent emotion—an exhibition of the same type of quietness which had marked his life among his school associates. After the judicial voice of Justice Adkins had pronounced the sentence, Stillwell walked hastily out of the courtroom to a waiting elevator which started him on a journey (Continued on page 2). PWA PROBE AT HOWARD PETERS OUT Treasurer V. D. Johnson is Criticized for Ignorance of Law The proposed Senate investigation into alleged irregularities involving P. W. A. funds at Howard University petered out this week when Senator Hastings (Republican), of Delaware, demanded a report on the spending of money at the university, declared that he proposes to do nothing and explained that he believed the information should be made available. Public Works Administrator, Harold L. Ickes, Tuesday submitted to the Senate the report. An accompanying letter absolved Howard University officials of any dishonestly or criminal intent in use of the funds. Secretary Ickes severely criticized Treasurer V. D. Johnson, of the university, however, for ignorance of the law and PWA regulations, and for his lack of zeal to learn them or co-operate with investigators. "Proper precaution has been taken to safeguard all of the Government funds advanced to Howard University by the PWA," Ickes wrote. "In several instances money was spent by the university for unauthorized projects, but in every case this money has been returned to the United States Treasury from the private resources of the university." In a letter to the board of trustees, which Ickes included in the report, the Public Works Administrators said the "underlying fault is the attitude and personality of Treasurer Johnson." " "He seems to create antagonisms and has not shown real in asquainting himself with the law and regulations."

Attorneys announced that a fight will be made to save them from the electric chair. The youths were found guilty of the murder of Joseph S. Washak, white, a driver for a meat packing company. The man was shot to death last January 4th during an attempted holdup and robbery while he was making a delivery to a store of Max Katz, Tenth and B Streets, Northwest. Cummings Fired Shot Attorney John H. Wilson, who represented Marcus, made a brilliant attempt to win an acquittal for Marcus when it was proven that the fatal shot was fired by Cummings. Wilson also sought to prove that Marcus was not a party to the plot to rob Washnak... Assistant Dristrict Attorney Irving Goldstein contended that the plan was premeditated and Marcus and Cummings were both equally responsible for the murder. Cummings who is a native of North Carolina, has been living in Washington about 11 months.

LONG GN'RESFRAT PROTESTS Sends Omega Fraternity Literature in Answer to Epithet Insult Replying to the fraternity's protest of his use of insulting epithet during a radio speech on March 7 over the network of the National Broadcasting Company through Station WMAL. Senator Huey P. Long (Louisiana Democrat), early this week, sent officers of the Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity matches of literature on his "Share Our Wealth" plan and urged them to organize a Share Our Wealth Society. No reference was made by the Louisiana Senator to the fraternity's protest. Surprised at the Senator's refusal to answer the protest, officers immediately telegrammed another protest. The telegram read as follows: Senator Huey P. Long Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. Instead of replying specifically to our letter regarding your insult to the Negro Race over the National Broadcasting Company, March 7, you have mailed us literature regarding your share our wealth program and request that we organize such a society. Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is not interested in any proposal you have to offer until we receive definite reply to our letter and an apology for your ugly epithet used in referring to a Louisiana Negro." The message was signed by Arthur Jackson Bassi of the local chapter, whom the Senator addressed as "Hon." in his reply. Organization Joins Nation- Wide Movement Against War and Fascism 1-HOUR STRIKE SLATED FOR APRIL 12 AT 11 A.M. University Won't Sanction General Student Participation Although university officials do not sanction the proposed one-hour strike of students on April 12 in protest against war and fascism, some students at Howard will participate in the strike, the Tribune learned Wednesday. The call for strikers at Howard is being sponsored by the Liberal Student Club, the membership of which is nearly 100. Prentice Thomas, president of the club, told the Tribune that members of the organization and all other students who accept the club's invitation to join in the one-hour protest will walk out of their classes at 11 a.m., April 12, just 18 years after the entrance of America in the World War. Pamphlets urging the students to "Take a Stand!" and "Strike Against War!" will be distributed before the set date. Protest National The protest is to be nation-wide and is being sponsored by several youth societies, including the National Council of Methodist Youth, the National Student League the Student League for Industrial Democracy and the American Youth Congress. The strike is the result of a resolution adopted at the World Congress Against War and Fascism at Brussels, Belgium in December, 1934, at which the Liberal Student Club of Howard University was represented. Officials of the movement deny that it is a communistic program claiming it is backed by the "progressive and liberal forces on American campuses as a protest against war on*the part of those who would be drafted to do the fighting." Students at George Washington, Maryland University, American University and in the local high schools are also scheduled to participate in the one-hour strike. H.U. Dean Speaks William B. West, dean of men at Howard University, told the Tribune that the school did not sanction the strike but that the Liberal Student Club of Howard was making an attempt to promote the protest. He declared that any student who walked not of class on April 12 would be charged with a cut and would be doing so at his own risk. Dean West also stated that the idea was unpopular at Howard and that the Liberal Student Club's membership was "almost insignificant." The university is not prohibiting the Liberal Club from carrying out its program, however. School Board Silent The Board of Education has taken no action on the request of the United Strike Committee for public school participation in the one-hour protest. Before leaving on a trip to Alabama Tuesday afternoon, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, stated to the Tribung that the board had not acted on the request which was sent in a form of a letter and signed Clarence Gurewitz. Mr. Wilkinson expressed the opinion that local students are not interested in the proposed strike despite a circular that is being thrown around the streets announcing that the "strike" is nation-wide.

Mr. Mitchell in a recent latter to the President stated that "I witnessed your inauguration as President of the United States and heard you promise the American people immediate action in a sincere effort to bring about relief." In answer to the letter Mr. Roosevelt stated in a letter recently that "the progress is definite and consistent and that patience and team-work will see us through." Mr. Mitchell was loud in his praise of the President and expressed the opinion that every confidence should be placed in the administration to give a square deal to all groups comprising the population of the United States.

CHURCHES SERMONETTE A CHILD'S INVITATION By Arthur B. Rhinow On my way to a very sick patient I was stopped by a little girl, scarcely three years old, drawing a home made doll cart after her. "Will you play with me?" she asked, with all the sweet candor of childhood. I told her I could not play with her right then, as I had something else to do; but I could not tell her how highly complimented I felt by the invitation. Sometimes words are very inadequate. She must have sensed that the years had not entirely robbed me of everything that might appeal to childhood. The poundings of life make many of us kard, and he is to be congratulated who keeps something within him tender enough to make a child approach him with ease. We are not quite the men we ought to be if our hearts have lost touch with the little ones. As I walked on I felt a deeper significance of the incident. A child looking up at an adult and saying in effect, "Come down to my level, enter into my thought-life; play with me!" Has there not been a cry throughout the ages ever since man began to ponder the mystery of birth? How bitter that cry has often been when men and women became so engrossed in their struggles for gain and power as to lose the understanding of the child. What a glorious message the New Testament has for humanity, the message that God became like Him. Believe it or not, it makes of this universe a love-haunted world. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH The Rev.

For two months the boys at all of these institutions have been in training so that they may give their best when they meet here at Howard University Saturday evening. Hampton and Lincoln are sending the strongest teams in years. Hampton looks to Captain Hooker, last year's middleweight wonder; Pitts in the 112-lb. class and Green in the middleweight class to walk off with honors enough to win the trophy. Lincoln thus far has refused to disclose the names of her stars, as they wish to surprise the fans. The other schools will also be represented by worthwhile contenders. Howard Handicapped Howard has been hampered by the loss of three last year's champions, who are not in school this year. Coach Davis has succeeded in developing the Bison's representatives, however, and hopes that the cup won last year will remain at Howard. Phillip Randall in the 112-lb. class, who fights like a game cock; William French, a freshman in the 126-pound class, who won his boxing spurs in Colorado; Williams, a southpaw from Philadelphia, who is said to carry "dynamite" in both hands, and "Bish" Hart, in the lightweight class, will represent Howard. In the heavyweight class Howard has Washington Garner from the Kentucky Blue Grass. Extra bleachers seats are to be installed to accommodate the crowd. The first bout will begin at 8:00 p.m. N. Y. OMEGAS EASY VICTIMS OF ALPHA Local Fraters Romp to 34-25 Victory Over Invading Quint The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity quint, Eastern fraternity champions had little trouble romping to an easy victory over a team supposedly representing the New York Omega aggregation but which, to the knowledge of every well informed court fan present, looked more like a combination of Lincoln and Howard University substitutes Saturday, at the Howard gym. The score was 34-25. The fracas, devoid of all semblance of a contest, found the local fraters in the van 15-6, at half time. Both teams were unable to get started at the outset and fans watched anxiously until late in the opening period before Larry Bleach opened scoring hostilities with a looper from the sidelines. The Alphas then pulled away to gain the commanding advantage at half. With Jimmie Bayton, bespectacled former Howard guard, leading the way, the Omegas launched a rally in the waning minutes of the fray but never seriously threatened the Albhas' advantage. ALPHAS G. F.

Negroes Loyal as New York Golden Glovers Strike LINCOLN BOXING SHOW DELAYED; BUFFALO ILL Young Philly Fighter Unable to Meet Mollis Here An illness which set upon him late last week and threw him out of training made Young Gene Buffalo. Philadelphia lightweight, call off his scheduled 10-round bout with Tommy Mollis, of Baltimore, here last night (Wednesday). Buffalo and Mollis were slated as principals in the main event of a boxing card of Lincoln Athletic Club promotion. The fights were be held at the Lincoln Colonnade. Buffalo was compelled to halt his preparation for the Mollis fight when he was stricken while doing gym work at Chester, Pa., where he makes his training quarters. The Lincoln Athletic Club officials, advised of his indisposition, sought to find a capable substitute but were unable to do so. Fights Next Wednesday John W. Carter announced yesterday (Wednesday) morning that Billy Elli had been decided upon to meet Mollis next Wednesday night. Local fight fans expressed no little concern over the failure of Buffalo to appear for his first fight in a feature role. Many of them have seen him in his impressive preliminary efforts and he has acquired quite a large following by his good work. Throughout his unbeaten career as a professional, Buffalo has shown himself to be a "comer."

Manager Madison Blakeley was in charge of the drill. The next session will be held, Sunday at the same field at 10:30 o'clock. Bill Rollins, 465 M Street, Northwest, is booking games. Pioneers Are Best The Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Pioneers trounced the Lakeside High School 100-pound team, last Tuesday afternoon, by a score of 13-4. NEW YORK—Following the recent triumphs of the New York Golden Glovers when the lads came through their fistic chores in splendid fashion, much was said of the failure of the boys to give the same type of fights which have characterized these amateur bouts in the past. Perhaps their showing was merely a tip off on what was to follow, for New Yorkers were surprised Wednesday morning to read in the Daily News that screaming headline, "26 Gouging Glovers Fired." 26 Demand Expenses Charging that twenty-six of the boys had made demands upon the Daily News A.A. for expense money while they were in training and in Chicago defending the fistic honors of little old New York, Al Copeland, director of the group was left holding the bag when ten of the original thirty-six remained loyal to the cause. And as usual, the majority of the loyal ten were colored lads who had strug- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MARCH 30, 1935 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune The last time I went on record for picking a promising prizefighter—one whom I believed would go far in the game and who would probably annex a title or so before being stopped—I fizzled out as completely as did the Washington Senators last year in defense of their American League championship. My prize package on that occasion was Bruce Flowers, the once sensational lightweight. And promptly thereafter the New Rochelle lad went out and got knocked flatter than one of Aunt Jemimah's brain children. The knowledge I have of ringflesh exceeds only that which I have of the horses, who run fast enough—but not long enough—for me. That both could be dropped into a peanut hull and still leave room for the meat is readily confessed by this pillar. I picked Jack Dempsey to beat Gene Tunney, Risko to trim Brown; I chose Buster Hall to whip Calvin Reed, Carnera to stop Baer; I thought Jack Thompson would take Tommy Freeman, and that Reed'd decision Gibbs. I liked Jack Sharkey to take Max Schmeling, Schmeling to top Carnera; I had Kid Chocolate all groomed to tame Jackie Berg, and saw McLarnin beating Ross. That's the kind of a guy I am. All of which doubtlessly explains why I'm reluctant about offering any opinions on the cauliflower industry. By now I know pretty well that I ain't so hot as to set the world on fire over words I utter in praise of prize fighters and prize fights. But I can read and reading, can take the words of some of the other guys who write, and taking their words can do a little deducing on my own. Now it is very likely that all the good things said about prize fighters are not true. But it is also very likely that all the good things said about Joe Louis are true. Colored fighters—in fact colored athletes of any description—are paid little heed by the dailies unless they're "worth the salt." Louis is black. He suffers the non-liberal reactions of a group ever anxious to take the deeds of his predecessors as a criterion. Black fighters before Louis, by their own actions, have made the "gates" doubly hard to crash. But the young Golden Gloves champion of a year ago seems well on the way to pugilism's fame. It might well be said of Louis that he is riding on the crest of the wave. White daily scribes who usually lean forward 'till their heads are on a level with their belts in their willingness to meet the rising young white pug and then tax all their stomach muscles bending backward away from the colored fist-slinger of promise, have done very nicely by Louis. There must be a reason. Dan Parker calls him the "dark cloud on the fistic horizon, looming menacingly in the background of the heavyweight picture." Damon Runyon quotes a close friend "whose judgment we respect," to put it in his own words. "I've seen Louis in several fights," this friend states, "and in my opinion, he can take Primo Carnera, Max Schmeling and Art Lasky down in a cellar with five-ounce gloves on, and bring them up on his back one after the other. That's how good he is right now, and he's only starting." Runyon himself has this to say: "Joe Louis boxes like Jack Johnson and hits like Sam Lankford." Instead of being referred to as a "chocolate-colored bubble ready to be bursted at the slightest prick of a pin," the youthful aspirant to the world title has been called by every imaginable monicker. And strange to relate, these do not lean toward reflection as is usually the case when a black athlete is involved. Such names as "Detroit Dynamiter," "Bronze Battler," "Baby-faced Joe," "Detroit Destroyer," and "Black Diamond" are listed among the array of nicknames. There must be a reason. As for the upper bracket of fighters, there seems to be some respect for the lad. Art Lasky bars Louis. Kingfish Levinsky wants none of him. Frankie Perroni and Lee Ramage both soundly trounced by him, are satisfied that they've had enough. Max Schmeling is willing to fight CARNERA for the right to meet Max Baer for the world championship. And Baer, himself, is not so hot on WAITING A YEAR to meet Louis. He insists, in loud-mouthed assertions, he will not draw the color line—NOW. On still another hand, the little fellows like Natie Brown, Red Barry, Charlie Retzlaff (though at one time the latter was considered in a fair way toward the top rung) and Hans Birkie have been falling over one another in their anxiety to get a match with Louis. It is obvious that most of these, if not all of them, had little or no hope of putting the colored pride away, which would indicate a belief that mere mention in the same breath with him is looked upon as added prestige for them. That's the kind of a guy I am. All of which doubtlessly explain any opinions on the cauliflower in that I ain't so hot as to set the w praise of prize fighters and prize fight. But I can read, and reading, and other guys who write, and taking to my own. Now it is very true that all fighters are not true. But it is also said about Joe Louis are true. Coletes of any description—are paid they're "worth the salt." Louis is black. He suffers the ever anxious to take the deeds of his fighters before Louis, by their own doubly hard to crash. But the young Golden Gloves on the way to pugilism's fame. It is riding on the crest of the wave. White daily scribes who usually on a level with their belts in their white pug and then tax all their away from the colored fist-slinger by Louis. There must be a reason. Dan Parker calls him the "dark menacingly in the background of Runyon quotes a close friend "whose his own words.

Demanding to know who wrote the letter and asking if the signers meant what they said, Copeland was given to understand that the boxes were adamant in the demands. Immediately he ordered the boys off the squad and to pack their belongings (they were all staying at the hotel, with the exception of the colored lads) and told to get out.

Ohio—Wilberforce University will be represented in two dieffrent cities this week-end when Coach "Hank" Corrothers's Golden Glovers fight in Dayton, Ohio in the State A.A.U. finals. Al Wardlow, the clever southpaw, after winning the sectional tournament sponsored by the Dayton Daily News and after going into the quarter-finals in Chicago where he was eliminated on a foul, is Ohio's best prospect in the middleweight division. If Al can weather the storm again he will represent Ohio in St. Louis Nationals next month. Out in Chicago Elwood McReynolds, flashy weaterweight, is a member of the Chicago Tribune Golden Gloves team which will fight against the fast New York team. McReynolds fought through three tournaments, meeting some of the best amateur and college champs in the middle west only to drop a decision to King Wyatt in his last fight. The 'Force lad has been training at the Illinois Club for the past two weeks and is in fine condition. Mac and Al are confident of making the St. Louis Tournament.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Louis in Tip-Top Shape for Go With Natie Brown Tomorrow Detroit Dynamo to Carry Same Weight as in Barry Fight Two Weeks Ago; Brown's Camp Promises Season's Upset At the Furlong Pole SPORT SCRIPTS By Art Carte Last week, this pillar carried a couple of paragraphs about Richard (Dick) Brown's gift to Virginia State College in honor of his mother Mrs. Mattie D. Brown. The press ink had hardly dried on the page when word reached the writer of the death of the beloved woman. Verily, life is like that. Now, the cup reposes in the trophy room at the Virginia school—a fitting memorial to the life of a fine woman. *** A scribe on a local daily not long ago predicted big things for Henry (Cuppy) Coppola, white, rookie pitcher in training with the Washington Senators at Biloxi, Miss. By the scribe's own admission Coppola was rightly regarded because his record consists of four wins over the Baltimore Black Sex Baseball Club. "Any man who can stop those dusky bludgeon-wielders of the Oriole City," the writer opined, "is no mean potato, take it from me." Tuesday's papers carried an announcement by Stanley (Bucky) Harris, manager of the Senators, to the effect that Coppola was rated the best recruit in the camp to that time. ```markdown ``` Ernie Marshall, the ace swimmer, is out of Freedmen's Hospital where he recently underwent an operation for appendicitis...he won't be able to do any aquatic duty until late June...Tally Cardozo High basketball player, was expelled from school following a fistic dispute with another well known Clerk athlete...Eddie Tolan, unable to find pro competition in America, is earning dough in Australia...he recently captured the world's professional sprint title...Joe Louis is reported signed for three bouts in Madison Square Garden, New York...opponents for the bouts have not been named. 2 Your "Tout" drifted around past Seventh and T and then up through U Street last week-end and watched the boys "at play."

It seems right hard that Tuesday and Bowie remain so near and yet so far. Nearly 1,200 horses, representing the stables and carrying the colors of a hundred or more different owners, have been cared for competition during the Bowie Spring session which opens, Tuesday, it was announced by Joseph B. Boyle, secretary and general manager, late this week. Impressive List Listed among the array of celebrated names that have been assigned stall space are such stables as the following: Edward Riley Bradley, C. V. Whitney, Walter E.

That Manager Boyle has ordered all $600 nurses raised to $800, thus DETROIT—Joe Louis, hard belting young Detroit heavyweight, is fit and ready for his bout with Natie Brown, Washington, D. C. Jewish heavyweight, at Olympia Friday night, March 29. Louis concluded his training at Naval Armory Wednesday and Jack Blackburn, his trainer, announced that his protege was in top form for the bout. Louis will enter the ring weighing 200 pounds, the same weight he carried when he stopped Donald (Red) Barry in San Francisco four weeks ago. Brown will weigh 197 pounds. The fight has an important bearing on Louis' future engagements as it is upon this fight, and the following bout in Chicago with Charlie Retzlaff, hinges Louis' opportunity to oppose Primo Cararner, former champion, on the Milk Fund Show in New York June 19. John W. Roxborough, co-manager with Julian Black, signed a contract in New York two weeks ago for Louis to meet Carrera. Two other bouts are also scheduled for the Detroit youngster by Mike Jacobs, promoter for the Twentieth Century Club. "Joe is in top shape," said Blackburn as Louis wound up his training Wednesday. "Joe takes good care of himself all the time and did not need much training to fit himself for this bout," the foxy Jack continued Brown's Manager Confident At the same time Billy McCarney, manager of Brown, was telling sport writers that Detroit fans were in for the biggest fistic upset of the season. He declared that his fighter was going to stop the long winning streak run up by Louis. And Brown's record proves that he is no set up. The Washington Hebrew has not lost a fight in 18 months, winning 14 bouts and getting draws in the other two. His most notable showings were against Johnny Risko, Cleveland "rubber man." Walter Neusel, German heavyweight, and Marty Gallagher, Washington Irishman. The sad part of it is that our wouldbe, so-called leaders are trying to enslave our boys and girls for a job!

The score was 41-33 The Clerk Niters dropped the decision mainly because of the two factors mentioned above. In addition, they were decidedly "off" their shooting, such usually dependable shots as Slim Thomas, Herbie Tobias and Chink Berry failing miserably in their numerous efforts to find the hoop. The game was exceedingly rough, with the Cardozoites losing three men via the personal foul route. The Techites were successful from the 15-foot mark.

Observation LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKER Complimentary Dance Social Highlight The Eight Flower Club's annual complimentary dance last Tuesday night was a social highlight. The Whitelah Hotel was the scene of this beautiful affair. This writer, although a regular patron of the club dances, can not describe the beautiful gowns or lovely young ladies present. Brook Brown Budnies furnished the lyrics. Members of the club are: Nettie Bell Marguerite Smart, Edna Cephas, Carrie Stucky, Josephine McWilliams Frances Jones, Edna Bost and Elsie Brown. The Triple C Club is giving a dance and fashion show on April 9, at 1337 R Street, Northwest. This club is composed of such personalities as Miss Easter L. Wymn, Bessie Webster and Thelma Robertson. Nat Williams and his Pals Alto Orchestra will furnish the lyrics for you local dance swingers. The Just So Pals Frolic The dance given by the Just So Pals, last Friday night, was good in spite of many members of the fair set being absent. The club served spiced punch and cake, Henry Anderson could not get enough to eat. Among those present were Misses Artie Henderson, Geraldine Jones, Anna Mullen and Thelma Robertson, and Allen Jones, William Mathis and William Edmondson. After the dance, the club sponsored a motor trip which carried this writer and many other members of the party near the historical city of Baltimore, Maryland. To those of you who have never traveled sixty-five miles an hour, I will give my conception of how it feels. Our bus was traveling about sixty-eight miles an hour and it seems that Father Time was about to call us home. If you don't like my conception, don't try to find out for yourself, because you might not be as fortunate as I. (No, Allen Jones' T-Model was not in the race.) --- Looking in on the Kiddies' Party we find a room with all the lights on and many small babies. Due to the sad time many boys and girls left before the hop was out. Will someone tell the club that gave the party to stop being babies and be themselves? Thank you. The Mardi Gras Dance The Mardi Gras dance given by the Little Women's club last Friday proved to be successful. And was it crowded, ask any local boy who was there? I notice my good friend Jimmie Dint's old lady came to the dance in a V8. (No, it was not Jimmie's car.) Fashion Revue To Be Weekend Highlight You who attend the fashion show tomorrow night (Friday) will attend one of the gayest social highlights of the weekend. You will see a group of the local boys and girls doing the waltz for you. You will get a glimpse of yours truly in the formal dress act. Jean Taylor and her chorus will lay their number for you. Birthday Party Bright Affair Miss Maudena Campbell was given a birthday party by her mother, Mrs. Anna Campbell at her home, 503 M Street Northwest, last Saturday night. Her home was decorated with a color scheme of orange and black. Yes, they played whist and bridge and the music was grand. The eats were swell and plentiful. Many gifts were received by the hostess. Among those who attended were: Misses Elsie Boston, Eliza beth Hutchinson, Thelma McNeil, Annie Vass, Mary Lance, Arlima Horton, Ophelia Johnson, Frances Matthews, Elmer Berry, John McNeil, Melvin Sewell, Lex Campbell and Lewis Henderson. The young club of Personality Girls from Dunbar is giving a dance at the Whitcaw Hotel on April 6. Miss Ethel Robinson is only interested in William Watts. The dance chasers sure pitched a boggie-woggie up at the Lincoln Colonade, from 10 until. Henry Sparks wants to be in the fashion show. **** Billie Thompson, the next time you wish to tell this writer something please tell him and not his friends Thank you. The dance given by the Cardozo Night School group last Thursday was well attended by their many patrons. Adios THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MARCH 30, 1935 Photo shows the Hardy Bros. Band who are opening at the Howard this week. The band has won an outstanding name for themselves while touring the country and their stay in New York. The Younger Set By MORRIS MURRAY, JR Well, it's getting to be reservoir time. I, Murray, will keep you posted as to what goes on. Maybe you don't know it but more history is made in that lover's haven than Congress makes on Capitol hill. As soon as the rain lets up the couples will begin. So watch this column for the latest flashes on what goes on up there on weekends. Quiet as it is kept, I have the names of some who have graced the huntin' grounds already. These folks just can't resist the call of love, Haw! Maybe Carolyn Ramsey is listening in. If so, I just know she will stop riding around the reservoir in "Tommie" Park's kar on Sundays. Tis a funny thing though. While Carolyn was riding with Tommie, Harold Hyman was riding around Alexandria with some of the Virginia natives. And Carolyn seemed to be getting ducky with Harold. The MacMillan Park rivals the water tank as the best place to mug on Sundays. Maybe I'm wrong but if I were to ask. I'd see Frank Colbert and M. Ravelle, Daniel Neil and E. Acty, Walter Dickson and S. Rich, all of whom graced the lover's paradise last Sunday. Too much for Sylvia... Each and every year the girls get an idea that it's time to snag an armband. Well, so far we have first on the docket, Susie Nickens who is slowly but surely carving her name on Charles Brown's red and black cloth. Morris Freeling is still playing the leading role with Louise Armstrong, although Lawrence Holland tries to get a word in. Russell Hines and Elaine Mosley with Jimmie Taylor and Rosina Mitchell spent most of last Friday evening at the MacMillan Park. Phyllip Butcher, who attended the press conference for the Observer, made money on the trip. The Observer gave Butcher 14 bucks to go and come. On the return trip, Butcher bought a cut-rate ticket from a station hustler, thus making his pocket overflow with pocker change. The hop given by M. W. last week was stricty on the Q. T. Maybe they didn't let others in because some weren't there with their regulars, or better than that, may be they were holding up corners (the corners were dark too). Was Larry's face red? India Wallace and Mae Arrington are rushing plans for the freshman (Howard) prom. They've even requested the Bluebirds orchestra to furnish the lyrics, because they don't like any other. A certain Dunbar chick is giving the popular Betty Francis a run with Louis Davis... Talking about hops, that reminds me. Dorothy Barnes gave a party last week and waited until ten o'clock to go get ice for the spiked punch. India Wallace and Mae Arrington were present at the Axe's dance. I was up the hall the night after and saw the exhibition of beverage bottles, etc. What happened to Rosalie Ellis and Kernel Wines? They say Rosalie is out head hunting, so fellers beware. Meaning those with armbands. Mother, mother, pin a rose on Daniel Parker for slapping a young lady at a mid-nite hop last week. Isn't Pauline Heart getting lovely these days? Haw! and the funny thing about it is she knows how to take compliments. She ought to, because she reads Dorothy Dix's heart-throb column daily. The Call of Love..... --- --- ... Rythm who are opening at the Howard outstanding name for themselves and their stay in New York. Why Mothers Get Gray Many mothers and fathers were down to the community house last week, to see about their darling daughters leaving school and holding a small house party at one of the friend's houses. On passing the Chief's drawing room Cecelia and Yvonne were under fire. They tell me the assistant Chief told Cecelia not to associate with Yvonne. Almost as bad as Tech's all-day hop... I only heard that Marie Payne is trying to get Ernest Wilson back on the beat. Grace writes to LaVelle and signs "Love and Kisses Finnigan." If Grace wants to get hold of her penning, she had better get it from Thelma King. Sarah W. left school on a fake sick note and met the heart-throb on the corner... Willard Ross and Valeria Walker are rumored to have tied the knot. Speaking of marriages, Mr. Nat. Brown informs me that his engagement to A. Reid is off, and it's quits for him... Nelson P. went to see Florence N. and spent the afternoon in a lovely game of tit-tat-toe... Is Jean Taylor's sudden love call, for Lester Williamson or for the yearly armband, for which Jean has made quite a racket? Even Napoleon went down swinging. Mark Chapman and Ada Dean have split, thus breaking Cupid's heart. My. oh my. how horrible. Is Adell S. trying to stage a come-back with Joe Martin? Don't forget the pageant tomorrow nite. Looking forward to see all your cats there. I'll be seeing ya... Chols Seys The Thin Man's Hideout was the scene of a bridge tournament Wednesday; with the hostess being Mrs. Rosena Alexander. The clubs in the contest were as follows: the Chatterbox, Yama Yama, Whoisit; Orchids, the Nuts, Neonte and the Deltas. There were seven tables playing and the prizes were won by representatives of the following: first went to Miss Henrietta Grant of the Whoisits; second to Miss Velma Passion of the Yama Yama's; third to Mrs. Mable Cook of the Chatterbox and the fourth to Mrs. Pauline Turner of the Orchids. Miss Addie Whittingham was the scorekeeper and also received a prize. It was a wonderful night. After the game the hostess staged a cocktail party which lasted until the wee hours of the morning. The boy friends came in at twelve. As usual Alonzo Collins came in late and had to leave but he got filled up first. The next dance of the season will be the Royal Diplomats held at the Murray Casino Wednesday, April 3, from ten 'til three and after the dance meet everybody at Thomas' Grill. Saw Hooks and Storm and Strife at the Lincoln Sunday night and Storm and Strife am peeping through rose-colored glasses the better to see Hooks, my dear Will La Petite please refrain from kissing the baldheaded man the next time she sees him in the beer garden? Thanks! Special notice to all the pretty girls in Washington. Please call Mr. S. Bailey before going up to the S Street apartment. Hold what you got Mickey Mouse. For Students Of Students AboutStudents **** --- Sees All Knows All Tells All LIVE AND LEARN By JOSEPH OVERTON Random Thoughts of a Roaming Columnist:— Our young columnists of this section are creating quite a sena- sation among the readers of this paper . . . Ruby Spaulding of Brookland was observed taking a few lessons in tennis on the Anac- ostia courts Sunday with Charles Beal. As an onlooker, Miss Es- telle Williams proved to be a ser- ious critic. I wonder if Ruby remembers, "Are you ready; Charlie?" Love in Bloom Wesley Toliver; of Miner, seems to hold an interest in a certain young co-ed these days. Has he at last awakened to the fact? . . . Louise Mason of Cardozo has her eyes focused on Jethro Williams. Wonder what has become of Emma? . . . Willard "Slim" Cook of the Harlem, is very much interested in M. Baton. It seems as though Sarah Brown is out in the cold again . . . Bernice Hall was escorted to the Young Ladies dance by Bozo last week. Too bad his lady friend wasn't around . . . The Whole Town's Talking Charles "Brother" Fells, of official bouncer for the Harleen, can not use force at home. I wonder why? . . . It is rumored that Les Williams, a member of "The Four Dots," and William Billy Kenny, of Tech, will form a team over a local network soon. Let's wish these luck! . . . Madeline B, cannot decide whom she wants. Is it really O, G, or Emmali? . . . Notice that Gloria Beckett and Virginia Kendall were at odds last week But like women they made up quickly . . . Emma Brown of Dunbar, likes Harry Robinson, nowadays. Too bad John Dean and Bruce aren't in the money now. Who's Who! Through the eq-operation of Miss Rosalyn Jefferson, I have compiled the following list of "Who's Who": Most popular—Francis Madison and Bertha King; most talkative—Gertrude Hunter and Sidney Foster; most charming—Katie Bundy and Geneva Ayers; best athlete-Steve Wiggins and Doris Dudley; most talented—Charles (Stinky) Davis and Sadie McIntyre; most popular club—Little Women and the Ducques; best dressers—Percy Watts and Cecelia Crawford; best dancers—Lillian Collins and Diaz Paris; shortest—Alice Parker and Leon Braxton; tallest—Harrieit Caves and Henry Briscoe; thinnest—Eloise Posey and Percy Taylor; corpulent—Gulla and Laverne Robinson; neatest—Radcliffe Harris and Mary Butler; wittiest—poury jambourn pu sing aad biggest jibers—Charles and Evelyn White; popular gigolo—Thomas Madison, and most handsome-Walter Roots. . . I see that Herbert Hines is running Louis Diggs out of the feminine race. . . Adele Whiting holds the title of being the "Silent Lady" . . . Leon Braxof Tech is very much interested in AnnieD. Hot Tips A few hints—Don't drink any sweet concoctions if you expect to go out on a long distance bender. Stick to dry liquids . . . Don't call out any strange girl's name in your sleep. In other words, don't do anything that I wouldn't do . . . Ethel Yates expects to tie the old knot soon. I wonder if it will be C. F. C. E. or R. T. ? . . : Saw Appolonia at Thurston's the other nite. Wonder if the young lady is following in the footsteps of her sister? . . . It seems as though Garner has given up John Quincy. Too bad the young man is left on the rocks . . . Until next week, keep thinking. And now who hit for seventy-five cents and fifteen cents? I'll bite, who did? Dear friend, you were right. Most of the boy friends were bald-headed and some of them had humps in their backs, but pal, they were good humps. ***** Did you know that women laugh when they can and cry at will; and that a cat loves fish but won't wet his paw to get them; and that we learn by teaching; and that lies have short legs but long wings and that no man is worst for knowing the worst of himself; and that no one has ever repented for having held his tongue; and that he is fool enough that will bray against another ass. So I'll be seeing you. "I suppose when I'm gone you will marry a young flapper," a Tampa woman said to her husband this week. "Well, no," he said. "with this Townsend plan coming up I believe I will marry an old woman with a $200 a month pension."

The proposed plan to build a teachers college on a site near Twenty-fourth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, gained added momentum when the Federation of Civic Association at its meeting last Friday in the District Building asked its Committees on Education and Public Works to study the plan and report its findings to the federation. The plan to build a teachers college in that section of the city was endorsed recently by the Educational Committee of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Plans Educational Project Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, has approved a plan to make the area the site of a huge educational project which will include kindergarten to college.

MITCHELL FLAYS BALTIMORE PAPER 2,000 Amused When Congressman Makes Personal Turn in Address BALTIMORE, Md.—(By Juanita Jackson for ANP)—"The hope of the Negro race is in the Democratic Party," declared Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell to the 2,000 citizens assembled at the City-wide Young People's Forum, at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Friday night. "The political downfall of the Negro has been his failure to see virtue in any party except the Republican party, and this will continue to be a millstone around our necks," the speaker declared. "The Negro is doing fairly well in this country. Our growth must be slow; it's going to take more than one generation to secure the things needed for the adequate development of our group. The building of a race is a lifetime job. The congressman took a turn at flaying a Baltimore paper, saying that he had received "certain communication from a newspaper in this city. But I believe that if you know so much about a job, why not go and do it yourself. "That paper sent me a few days aga, a letter asking me to investigate the discrimination of the C.C. boys in the third corp area. I cooled that fellow off. I wrote back asking 'what are you doing, what is your paper doing, what are the people of Baltimore doing about this matter, since it concerns the Maryland C.C. boys,' And I have not heard from him since." A murmur of amusement spread through the audience at this personal turn of the congressman's address.

The matter of social privleges was illustrated by the diserineina- tion at Plattsburg, during the World War, when colored citizens had the choice of remaining at Platishurg as privates, or going ta the segregated camp at Des Moines. “In education, al! are trained to perpetuate the established order,” said Dr, Thurman. “The tratning in technique and attitudes is train- ing to perpetuate a dominant majority, and on the strength of this training we attempt to fune- tion as an underprivileged minority group.” C The speaker submitted that so far as religion was concerned there was apparently “no chance for us over there or over here, either!” “Christianity msists | that we must be honest and snicere,” con- tinued the speaker, “If Negroes were sincere and honest they could not survive in America! The only defense the weak have against the strong is deception!” A white Christ, flaxen-headeg an- gels and black imps is an ideology responsib’e for much that is harm- ful in racial attitudes said Dr. Thurman.

FROE” “TOOTHPICK” THIEF CVENS YEARS that it will take five long year: to complete. Prior to the sentence his attr. ney, Nathan A. Dobbins, made an impassionate plea = he eourt te “temper mercy with justice” in it decision. Mr, Dobbins narfated the details of Stillwell's early boyhoo: during which the defendant re. ceived a_kick on the head by 2 horse, The accident is believed te have resulted in his subsequent quffering with an “irresistible im- pulse” which has haunted him ever sinee and which allegedly motivat- ed his burglar activities. ‘The lawyer declared that Stitt well had attempted to relieve his eondition by long walks but. gain- ing no relief, finally resorted to the actions which restted in the Gov- ernment’s accussations. 16 Indictments Stillwell, arrested early in No- vember in connection with the loot- ing of hundreds of houses in the Northwest section of the city, was subsequently indicted by the Dis- trict Grand Jury on 16 counts of grand larceny an& robbery. The value of goods which-he allegediy feloniously took from the dwelling houses ‘totalled approximately $9,000. He received the _ monicker, “Toothpick Burglar,” because of his stuffing the keyholes with tooth- picks to prevent his being surpris- ed by returning residents while rifling homes. Attorneys for the former Howard tennis star origin- ally entered a petition for a lun- sney hearing. Last week, they withdrew the lunancy petition and _ Stillwell pleaded guilty to ten of the 16 charges. The other six were nojle prossed by the District Attorney. Justice Adkins meted outa sen- tence of three to 15 years on one robbery indictment, and another sentence of two to five years on a grand larceny indictment, the two terms to run consecutively. On the other nine indictments, Stillwell was given sentences of three to 15 years each, the terms to run con- currently with thé first sentence, In all, Stillwell must serve five years in penitentiary before he will be eligible for parole. In case his attorneys are unable to have him released at the termination of his S-year term, it is possib’e for him to serve 15 years according to the sentence. In view of the fact that Stillwell faced a possible sentence of 153 years (provided the sen- tences had been all consetive ones), tences ‘had ‘been. all consecutive ones), the “Toothpick Burglar” is considered in many quarters to have gotten off “light.” Associated with Attorney Dob- bins in the case was Attorney Otho D.

WEEKEND MARCH 30, 1935 Heroes—All The terrible state of affairs at the prison camp being investigated in North Carolina is almost beyond belief. While the scandal created by the inhuman treatment accorded man by man, causes surges of disgust and pity to assail one, 'tis the bravery displayed by the Negro prisoners who are testifying against the prison administration who are due commendation for their daring bravery in taking the stand that they have. The terrible state of affairs at the prison camp being investigated in North Carolina is almost beyond belief. While the scandal created by the inhuman treatment accorded man by man, causes surges of disgust and pity to assail one, 'tis the bravery displayed by the Negro prisoners who are testifying against the prison administration who are due commendation for their daring bravery in taking the stand that they have. Only those who are familiar with conditions in the South can appreciate what these men have dared. It goes without saying that they are marked men, and whatever the outcome of the investigation may be—these men will have to forever toe the mark. To be in the North and carry on our little battles is child's play compared to those in the South who have the courage to carry on there. Loyalty to Your Employer Elbert Hubbard spoke well when he said, "If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him! "If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him—speak well of him. think well of him and stand by the institution he represents." He closes his exhortation with this fine paragraph: "When you say to other employees that the Old Man is a curmudgeon, you reveal the fact that you are one; and when you tell that the policy of the institution is 'rotten,' you surely show that yours is." And because we should give our employer the best that we have, we fall short when, as workers, we institute a whispering campaign about the short-comings of our fellow-workers. The more such a campaign prevails the more discontent there is among the workers. The whisperer is always repeated because nobody trusts such a person. When there is mistrust there is not sufficient coordination of working forces to carry on for the maximum best results. Both employer and employee should be on the alert for such a condition. Harlem The nation's largest Negro Settlement has hit the Front Page in a surprising and unexpected manner. Harlem, happy hunting ground of pleasure seekers, Home of Syncopation and Jazz steps out of character to present an economic problem, a study of the Great Depression of Misery and unemployment in its most extreme phases. Race riots are nothing new, in Harlem and other centers of mixed population; always after a few more or less good humored clashes with friendly cops the crowds subside and go off to night clubs and chop suey joints to cool off and "talk it over." The recent outbreak in Harlem is altogether different. Starting from a rumor that a Negro youth had been beaten up by shop-keepers, men, women and children ran amuck, rioting—breaking windows, destroying stores and creating the most violent upheaval New York police have encountered and which the scant 900 officers assigned to that territory were unable to restrain.

Many causes were set out: interference by the police with Father Divine and his free dinner handouts—resentment against Italians' account of the Italy-Abyssinia mix-up; and many give as the main cause, Communist propaganda and teachings, all these contributed to a most regrettable civic disturbance. The resultant picture drawn from revealed facts as to Harlem Relief and unemployment is sickeningly drab. In an all too congested area of 250,000 (think of it: one-half the population of all Washington!) only 2,500 are employed!—to meet the high rents the people have "doubled up" in many cases 6 families huddled in a five-room apartment. Do we need seek other reason for that uprising? Can any wonder that, faced with cold—hunger and lack of adequate shelter, men throw off the feeble restraints of organized society and revert swiftly to type? In Harlem as elsewhere without reference to race, class or color, men go about the streets and ponder the question—Is life worth while? Is this boastful civilization of ours about to break In an all too congested area of 250,000 (think of it: one-half the population of all Washington!) only 2,500 are employed!—to meet the high rents the people have "doubled up" in many cases 6 families huddled in a five-room apartment.

Not only in our own land but over all the world this problem presses for solution—wars and rumors of wars—kingdoms falling—dictators springing up on every hand—What next? Sometimes seems we need no despair. This Historical Association To Celebrate 20th Year In Chicago Next Fall Historical Association To Celebrate 20th Year In Chicago Next Fall By CARTER G. WOODSON Extensive preparations are announced for celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Chicago, Illinois, beginning September 9. With four other persons, two of whom are still living, A. L. Jackson and J. E. Stamps, and myself organized the Association in Chicago on September 9, 1915. Dr. George Cleveland Hall and Professor W. B. Hartgrove who also participated are now dead. The purpose of the association was defined as "to collect and publish sociological and historical data." Since that time this work has developed to the extent of covering the study and publication of almost every aspect of Negro life and history. The association publishes a magazine, researches in Negro history, directs studies in clubs and schools, promotes the home study of the Negro by mail, produces texts on the Negro for schools and colleges, collects and preserves the valuable documents of Negro history, supplies libraries with special collections of rare books on the Negro, and educates promising and enterprising young men for service in historical research. To carry out these purposes the association together with a co-operating agency, the Associated Publishers, has collected and expended during the last twenty years about $370,000. Most of these funds thus expended were collected during the first ten years among white persons, but during the recent years most monies which have gone to the support of these historical researches and publications have come from the Negroes. At the present time the support of the association comes almost exclusively from the colored people of the United States who have finally realized that this body has faithfully served the race and nation. This work, then, is a monument to the spirit of sacrifice found among the Negroes themselves.

Record Made Has Been Commendable The $370,000, taken as one sum, may seem considerable; but, stretched out over the twenty years that the Association has had to finance its numerous efforts, the sums annually expended have been rather small. It is only by the sacrifice of the Director himself and those who have cooperated with him for the mere pittance which they receive that so much has been accomplished. The managers of other learned societies have marveled at the results obtained with such small amounts when the Association for the Study of Negro Life and history can point to so many significant achievements. The association has directed the attention of investigators to this neglected field, it has extended the circulation of "The Journal of Negro History" into South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, it has published twenty volumes of articles and documents in this magazine giving facts which are generally unknown, it has produced twenty-five monographs on Negro life and history, it has organized and stimulated the studies of local clubs and classes which have done much to change the attitude of communities toward the Negro, it has collected more than four thousand valuable manuscripts on the Negro which have been made accessible to the public in the Library of Congress, and it has had ten young men trained for research in social science and for instruction in colleges and universities. To do these things with limited funds has required steady and hard work not only in libraries and in field surveys but on the public platform. While unearthing the truth of the past the staff has had to do considerable extension work in popularizing the effort through lectures and addresses before clubs, schools, and churches. The growing interest in the celebration of Negro History Week, which was started by the association in 1926, has greatly facilitated this task.

Schools Have Become Interested in Movement The extension of the use of textbooks in teaching Negro life and history has also immensely aided the undertaking. All these efforts have tended to bring the movement nearer and nearer to the ideal position of serving the schools and learned circles of the country as a clearing house for information on the Negro and the dissemination of such data. The association, too, is serving as a sort of training school for instructors of history in the most advanced Negro colleges and universities. Howard, Atlanta, Fisk( and' Lincoln University in Missouri have profited especially in this way in securing the services of men who have been on the staff of the association for the Study of Negro Life and History. In consideration of these achievements the thinking elements of both races will participate in this observance. Branches of the association in the large urban centers are already preparing for full participation. Learned organizations of various areas will have their delegates on hand to show what they have done for the work in their respective areas and what they plan to do in cooperation with the national office of the Association in Washington. Universities and colleges of all sections will send representatives men who have delved in historical research.

(East Tennessee News) As a matter of expediency, newspapers oftimes leave off names of persons who address communications to their readers, especially where the subject matter under discussion may tend to injure the interests of the writer, but little patience is exhibited toward that cowardly element who sends in a letter dealing with some important issue, accompanied by the request, "please don't publish my name." The same attitude is exhibited toward those who pretend to important information, and request "don't tell that I told you." Such is the most flagrant type of cowardice and should not be practiced by thoughtful persons. old world will once more right itself-National Recovery will surely come again.

Alumni Association thanks Tribune for fair stand. To the Editor: The Howard Alumni Association of the District of Columbia extends to the Washington Tribune its sincere gratitude for the stand it has taken in its defense of Howard University. At this time, when those, who should be lending their efforts toward a program which would popularize "Old Howard" in the sight of every ambitious Negro seeking higher education, are leaving no stone unturned in a malicious attempt to destroy every ideal and principal for which the university stands, your editor's are most gratifying. At this time, when those, who should be lending their efforts toward a program which would popularize "Old Howard" in the sight of every ambitious Negro seeking higher education, are leaving no stone unturned in a malicious attempt to destroy every ideal and principal for which the university stands, your editors are most gratifying. The Washington Tribune in publishing the truth of the situation has done much to enlighten the public and to allay nefarious rumors which have been circulated. Therefore, the local branch of the Alumni Association is touched by the unbiased attitude of the Washington Tribune and expresses its profound appreciation. LEONE M DeBOSE. Secretary Howard Alumni Association of the District of Columbia. Seeks to place Boy Scout movement here on high plane. To the Editor: I am writing in the interest of scouting among colored boys in the District. When scouting was introduced to our boys here in 1920 it was purely an experiment to determine if the movement could be successfully developed among our people. Unfortunately, the result has not been very gratifying. I have not been connected with the movement very long. My first association being made in 1933 as scoutmaster of Troop No. 525, sponsored by the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., I have been constantly working to promote the movement in our communities. Reports of scouting activities throughout colored communities of Washington show very little progress for the years 1933 and 1934.

Reports of scouting activities throughout colored communities of Washington show very little progress for the years 1933 and 1934. One of the many reasons for this lack of progress is the ignorance of our citizens regarding the wholesome character-building program of the Boy Scout movement. Scouting activities of our citizens cannot receive too much publicity. The publicity program of the Gold Star Division, the local unit encompassing colored Scout organizations, has not been well organized in the past. However, Belford V. Lawson, Jr., new head of the division, has outlined this policy of Scout publicity; all general scouting activities to be submitted for publication by the publicity director of the division, all troop or unit news to be submitted individually by the troop or unit concerned.

Knowing that we will cooperate with you in the future for any movement for the good of Old Howard, we remain. Alumni Association of D. C., J. BYRON HOPKINS, Sr., President. 0 Says Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill ought to become law. To the Editor: Law-loving Negro citizens and others, all over the country, are relaxing with sights of relief, and lawless-mob ruffians express keen regret and lamentations, over the news that the approval of the Senate judiciary committee opens hearing before Congress on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. Here is a bill which should most certainly become a law, if there was ever one and it would do justice to twelve million American Negroes, whose hero did his duty in every war, and performed it gladly and patriotically finding the most pride and delight in those enterprises which were most arduous and dangerous. The Negro's was a thankless task, and, except for occasional decorations for bravery, in appreciation of his valuable services, he gets a rope around his neck. May I say, in conclusion that our hope of an anti-lynching law will never be fulfilled unless action is taken by all race members to secure the support of their representatives, by either letter or telegram, urging them to use their greatest efforts to win proposal of an anti-lynch law.

CHARLES T. BERRY. Personal grudges and ambitions are basis of fight of H.U. president. To the Editor: It was indeed refreshing to read your editorial published in the issue of your paper under date of February 23, after so much criticism has been waged against our Alma Mater by a few who have left no stone unturned to gain their selfish ends. The fight on Howard University seems to be without exception, personal grudges and personal ambitions. It is indeed true that the right thinking members of the Alumni and their friends have the utmost confidence in Dr. Johnson and his administration, for no one can deny that our school has made greater strides under his leadership than ever before. On Sunday, February 24, when the president spoke in Chapel, he was the recipient of a beautiful basket of flowers from Mrs. Daisy Bruce, of 115 Seaton Street—a young lady who is not even a graduate of the university. I sought out Mrs. Bruce and among other thing she said, "When Dr. Johnson has passed to the great beyond, these very persons who are putting on their personal fights will be trekking up here to euologize him." I pondered this statement and thought, "How true" for we have at Howard—A man among Men—A mind among Minds—Give him his flowers now!

Blames school heads for wild party given by high school students. To the Editor: I read in your paper a few weeks back about a party that took place among our senior high school students. It seems to me that the school must take a large portion of the blame. I was editor of that school's paper three years ago and was at constant odds concerning the way the administration dealt with the student body.

REUBEN SCARBOROUGH, JR Pickens' Opinion Two Blackguards CHARLES COUGHLIN AND HUGH JOHNSON By William Pickens While the priest and the general are calling each other holy and unholy names, Huey Long is laying down a program which at least has common sense in it. Certainly the platform of Huey Long, as described by Paul Y. Anderson in the St. Louis Dispatch. March 3, 1935, is not to be scouted at. This plan, if honestly carried out, would benefit all the people of all races, and actually help to redistribute our congested, segregated wealth. The desperate opposition has been trying by well-managed publicity, to picture Huey as a mere national clown,—but that program stamps the Louisianian as a statesman, and a statesman with guts. He will drive his enemies to further desperate acts if he keeps pushing for a program to give poor people some respite from debts and foreclosures, since the rich have the refuge of bankruptcy formalities. He proposes to except all homes of $2,000 or less value from all taxes. Why not? Why would a man who has only a roof over his head, lose it for tax-delinquency while some of the wealthy own empty houses big enough to shelter a clan in, and own 40 other houses from which they derive income! Let their taxes be raised, rather than sell a poor man's hut! We notice that the opponents of Huey Long are already losing their self-control: the other day certain Senators walked out when he began to speak. What a poor answer to his logic and charges! That is a confession of weakness on the part of his opponents, and a lowering of the dignity and respect of the highest legislative body. The People Will Turn to Huey It is a good way to win support and sympathy for Huey Long; people instinctively distrust unsportsmanlike conduct and a plain effort to take advantage and offer insult. If they cannot answer Huey Long, they could confess their inability in no better way than by this studied effort to insult him. And so far they have not answered his charges against Postmaster General Farley, nor his charges against the Roosevelt administration in general. The New Deal has only increased our national debt about 15 billions and has put about 10 million more men out of work, since Roosevelt succeeded Hoover. Meanwhile our two chief black-guards, the Reverent Priest and the General, one against the New Deal and the other for it, are two of a kind. Each can say to the other, "You're another!" There are qualities and ideas in Huey Long with which we may disagree, but that has nothing whatever to do with the things in which we know he is right—and is nothing against his right to fight for his program.

The brilliant columnist said in a recent article on Huey Long's speech in answer to General Johnson: "However, toward the end of the speech, he made one of the stupidest blunders I have ever noted in the case of a so-called political genius. "There was a single word in which he erred and I believe it may well cost him anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 votes whenever he chooses to take a try at the Presidency. The slip was not in his printed releases. Once more the moral has been pointed that it is dangerous to be impromptu on the air. "What Huey said was, 'I have a letter from an old "niggah." There is no need of going into any controversy as to the age of the word or its familiar use down in Huey's homeland. The plain fact is that the Negro voters of the Northern States regard the word as a direct insult. It is associated in their minds with the days of slavery and with all kinds of white domination and tyranny. "When Huey talks about sharing wealth he makes an appeal to Negro voters, who are numerous among the disinherited, but that word will stab him in vital States such as New York, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois." Hints on TUBERCULOSIS By T. THEO PARKER Pathologists and bacteriologists have attested that the nose and mouth are the principal avenues through which tubercle bacilli enters the system. In order therefore, to protect the body against tubercular infection the nose and throat must be given constant care. Further, it should be the aim of every youth to develop and retain a perfectly healthy body, this being the one and only natural and reliable protection against tuberculosis. It is well to remember that the victims of this disease are principally the heedless and the weaklings. Rules Suggested Youths should practice strict personal hygiene. Avoid exposures and drafts. Never allow common "head colds" or coughs to "hang on." "Never allow one to cough or sneeze in your face. Always use a handkerchief for nasal discharges. Use woolen underwear during cold weather. Misses should avoid getting their feet wet, especially during periods. Never neglect seeking expert attention in cases of delayed, irregular or painful periods. Take systematic exercises of some kind. Walking is best. Avoid excessive use of candies and other sweets. and other sweets. Avoid tobacco and alcoholic drinks. Have the nose, throat, lungs and spine examined in the spring a-fall every year.

An Angel bent and kissed his weary brow And whispered, "Rest, thy work is finished now; Long hast thou nobly played a worthy part. So well, that thou hast touched a nation's heart!"

Harrison Upheld Dignity of Race NEW YORK (ANP)—Friends of Richard B. Harrison revealed here after his death last Thursday that he had not only hesitated to accept the part played by him in "The Green Pastures" for fear of a sacrificious performance, but that he had also insisted that nothing he was to do would reflect upon his people. The author of the play, Marc Connelly, had sought to require Mr. Harrison to speak the sort of foreign dialect which most white producers impose upon Negroes, but Mr. Harrison refused, stating positively that he had been a student of Negro dialect for years and that he would speak the lines his way or not it all.

I believe that he can not happen if he had not appeared upon the so-called, scattering jobs and money, setting a highly organized finance that, in all sincerely self the only divinely chosen trustee and man of the United States of America. We all know that he found 12,000,000 men in ugly mood. God only knows what would not your out billions of dollars, creating me from the highways an army of wandering men might easily have formed dangerous marauders. A bill introduced, some time ago, in tives by Representative Mitchell, Democrat, of This bill would give a mountain more than County, Tennessee the name of "Mount Roosevelt Representative Mitchell's reasons include "Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President has instituted a national recovery program useful and needed projects in Tennessee are "He visioned the tremendous possibility Tennessee Valley, and instituted or set-up Authority. "Through his able guidance and sterlings been relieved of a most tense financial site course of this Government from one of distress of peace and prosperity." Being a mortaged member of the so-called hawk was particularly interested in getting to more newsmen and women who are admitted conferences twice weekly. I honestly believe are no more severe, no more truthful, critic newsmen who cover him. They have an in methods and make shrewd appraisal of his editor writer so aptly expresses it, "are so can see the clay feet." Raymond Clapper, one of the better Wash a recent article in the "Reviews" seems to this Delano Roosevelt stands the test of the rep I heartily sympathize with President Roosevelt for one reason. I believe that he will never be able to learn on this earth, although the judgement day may reveal it to him, just how much he has done for the United States. I believe that he can never tell what would have happened if he had not appeared upon the scene, taking action immediately, scattering jobs and money, setting precedent aside, ignoring highly organized finance that, in all sincerity (seemingly), thinks itself the only divinely chosen trustee and manager of the government of the United States of America. We all know that he found 12,000,000 men idle, and many of them in ugly mood. God only knows what would have happened if he had not your out billions of dollars, creating millions of jobs, and taken from the highways an army of wandering young men and boys that might easily have formed dangercus marauding bandit gangs. A bill introduced, some time ago, in the House of Representatives by Representative Mitchell, Democrat, of Tennessee is significant. This bill would give a mountain more than 2,000 feet high in Roane County, Tennessee the name of "Mount Roosevelt." Representative Mitchell's reasons include: "Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, has instituted a national recovery program, included in which many useful and needed projects in Tennessee are included. "He visioned the tremendous possibilities of Muscle Shoals, the Tennessee Valley, and instituted or set-up the Tennessee Valley Authority." "Through his able guidance and sterling leadership this nation has been relieved of a most tense financial situation, and changing the course of this Government from one of distress and destruction to one of peace and prosperity." * * * * * Being a mortaged member of the so-called Fourth Estate, the News-nawk was particularly interested in getting the reactions of the 200 or more newsmen and women who are admitted to the President's press conferences twice weekly. I honestly believe, you see, that there are no more severe, no more truthful, critics of a President than the newsmen who cover him. They have an intimate knowledge of his methods and make shrewd appraisal of his abilities. "They," as one editor writer so aptly expresses it, "are so close to the idol that they can see the clay feet." Raymond Clapper, one of the better Washington Correspondents, in a recent article in the "Reviews" seems to think that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt stands the test of the reporter's microscope. Mr. Clapper wrote, among other things: "Reporters are amazed at his knowledge of administrative detail...personal contacts pleasant...patient in answering their questions...never sends the reporters away empty handed...no questions are barred...will discuss a situation on the understanding that nothing will be printed at all--his purpose being to give the reporter a glimpse into the presidential mind, so that he will not jump to erroneous conclusions." "Reporters are amazed at his knowledge tail...personal contacts pleasant...patient tions...never sends the reporters away empties are barred...will discuss a situation on the u will be printed at all--his purpose being to go into the presidential mind, so that he will not elusions." ***** "Newsmen," Mr. Clapper continues, "five believe that there are many grave abuses that (Oh Boy, how right they are on this one)—is set on cleaning them out." "The reporters admire the president's 'p they admire most of all his sincerity, his courage experiment. For what I am about to suggest I would like to see the President: 1. Admit one or two Negro newspaper conferences; 2. Pass the word quietly to administration he wants the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching b; 3. Suggest to his Cabinet members that and increase the sustained efficiency of them to promote their Colored Classified Civil Serv positions if they have qualified for same by and 4. Specifically instruct administration of public works and relief projects to put an crimination, and segregation on these projects. 5. Arrange somehow for American Negly how much more (relatively) is being done by any other administration to date. Somehow it seems that all of the Negro construction project where out of more than 50 payroll aggregates approximately $1,800 only whose daily payroll aggregates approximately Interstate Commerce Commission which is to accept two Negro stenographers after they be a northern city or of our State Department officials would possibly tell any inquirer that the Department to appoint Colored clerks. Only a select few of the 3,000,000 Negra States know of the excellent treatment accopeyees in nearly all of the other department or emergency units. They seem not to know of the State Department (except for its su colored with some 30 messengers the lower $1,200. Only a few know approximately a d in the White House are Negroes. Only a few advisors and special assistants are for the first advising and assisting and, though still not 10 longer figureheads. Few, if any, know the dropped from the Classified Civil Service de economy hysteria. "Newsmen," Mr. Clapper continues, "from study and observance, believe that there are many grave abuses that need to be cleaned out" (Oh Boy, how right they are on this one)—"they believe Mr. Roosevelt is set on cleaning them out." "The reporters admire the president's 'political craftmanship' but they admire most of all his sincerity, his courage, and his willingness to experiment." The last three qualities mentioned are the ones in which I am particularly interested, his sincerity, his courage and his willingness to experiment. For what I am about to suggest will call for all three. I would like to see the President: 1. Admit one or two Negro newspapermen to his weekly press conferences; 2. Pass the word quietly to administration leaders on the Hill that he wants the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill passed at this session; 3. Suggest to his Cabinet members that it might better the morale and increase the sustained efficiency of their respective departments to promote their Colored Classified Civil Service employees to higher positions if they have qualified for same by competitive examinations; 4. Specifically instruct administration leaders who have charge of public works and relief projects to put a stop to jim-crowism, discrimination, and segregation on these projects; and last but not least 5. Arrange somehow for American Negroes to know weekly or daily how much more (relatively) is being done for them than was done by any other administration to date. Somehow it seems that all of the Negro press knows of the dam construction project where out of more than 5,079 employees whose daily payroll aggregates approximately $1,800 only 8 Negroes are employed whose daily payroll aggregates approximately $33; the attitude of the Interstate Commerce Commission which is reputed to have refused to accept two Negro stenographers after they had been transferred from a northern city or of our State Department whose appointment officials would possibly tell any inquirer that it is not the "policy" of the Department to appoint Colored clerks. Only a select few of the 3,000,000 Negro voters in the United States know of the excellent treatment accorded Negro federal employees in nearly all of the other departments, independent agencies or emergency units. They seem not to know that the custodial staff of the State Department (except for its supervisory officers) are all colored with some 30 messengers the lowest paid of whom receives $1,200. Only a few know approximately a dozen key men and women in the White House are Negroes. Only a few know that the so called advisors and special assistants are for the first time in a decade, really advising and assisting and, though still not what they might be, are 10 longer figureheads. Few, if any, know the relatively few Negroes dropped from the Classified Civil Service during the 1933 period of economy hysteria. ***** Because Negro Americans are not being the many advantages the New Deal is offering disadvantages are being played up, they are Uncle Sam has failed with his black nieces being told by some unscrupulous or possibly ers and advisers that white labor has rushed prosperity and left black labor to struggle w peonage. I am of the opinion that if these accusat the best interest of all concerned to so infor Because Negro Americans are not being adequately informed of the many advantages the New Deal is offering to them and because the disadvantages are being played up, they are beginning to feel that Uncle Sam has failed with his black nieces and nephews. They are being told by some unscrupulous or possibly simply misinformed leaders and advisers that white labor has rushed on to a false and insecure prosperity and left black labor to struggle with poverty, prejudice and peonage. I am of the opinion that if these accusations are not, true, it is to the best interest of all concerned to so inform the people. Two Prayers "Struggle New Magazine to be Edited by White and Colored Professional Workers By Rev. Andrew Gillies. Last night my little boy confessed to me Some childish wrong; And kneeling at my knee He prayed with tears: "Dear God, make me a man, Like Daddy—wise and strong; I know You can." Then while he slept I knelt beside his bed, Confessed my sins, And prayed with low bowed head. "O God, make me a child Like my boy here— Pure, guileless, Trusting Thee with faith sincere." NEW YORK, (ANP)—"Struggle," a new magazine devoted to the fight against oppression and discrimination, is announced for early publication by The Vanguard, an organization of Negro and white professional workers, artists and writers. The new magazine will appear as a monthly. It will uphold the movement for militant unity of the colored and white working classes toward a solution of racial, economic and cultural problems. This and That Its columns will be open to contributions from writers everywhere in the form of short articles, verse and fiction. The Vanguard states, asking that such contributions be accompanied by return stamped envelopes and addressed to "Struggle," 308 W. 141 Street, New York City. As long as men are fettered by bodily needs there will be but little chance for the expression of their spiritual possibilities. 7 . d e e "Life is the gift of Nature; but beautiful living is the gift of Wisdom."—Greek Adage. What's the use to hope much for this year, when we know pretty well that the national campaign of 1936 will spoil about everything anyhow?

Baltimore Contract Team Trims Capital Cityans A grand slam at spades, bid and made, by one of the pairs of the Baltimore bridge team proved to be the margin of victory over the Capital City team in the match played in Baltimore last Saturday night. The final result showed a score of 2,020 points in favor of Baltimore. The net swing due to the grand slam, bid and made, amounted to 2,310 points. The two local pairs who played the "big hand" failed to bid the grand slam. This was the third match in the inter-city series of five matches which have been arranged between the 2 teams.

So I'm keeping my mouth shut at least till the end of the week. Because, besides the numerous sages and scholars who make their abode in Washington there are a hundred College Deans and Registrars attending a convention at Howard University. And some of 'em will be sure to ascertain that I failed to get my "grammer." Mrs. Corrella Delaney, of Florida Avenue, Northwest, sang in her delightful way at a smart affair the other night and most of us were not only "ears" but all "eyes" too. For the Lary of Song was a gladsome sight to see in rich dark brown (white satin-trimmed) and matching wide-brimmed hat. Four charming ladies in a group. They are not ill; neither are they angry. Yet they utter not a word. Can you imagine such a thing? (But of course, you have already guessed that they are photographs of Mrs. George H. Murray, Mrs. Estelle Coffee Young, Mrs. Roscoe Clayton and Mrs. J. A. Lankford, officers of the Women's Auxiliary of the Musolit Club, adorning the window of a U Street studio). You may rave over sea-green chiffon; you may borrow the blue of the ocean and put it in cobwebby ruffles; you may snatch the rose the ye'low, the purple from a slowly fading sunset and imprison them in your satin, but you can't beat a plain old black and white crepe. And at a fashionable gathering not many days ago Mrs. Charles Powell, 120 Florida Avenue, was a lovely example of just what that age-old combination can do. She wore a long black dress with intricate white embroidery blossoming out on the sleeves. And no lady present looked better You could hardly blame the "Axe-Grinder." The pretty miss he had hoped to escort to the Omega's Mardigras told him ever so sweetly "Sorry, but I really can't possibly make it." And then showed up after all with another gay young fellow. Did the "Axe-Grinder" stand around and whine? He did not. He sharpened up his axe and cut that lady's name right off the "Grinders' mailing list. (You see the invitations to the "Axe-Grinders' affair were mailed to ladies only, and they in turn invited the men. Now this smart fellow figured that without an invitation the "lady in the case" couldn't ask his rival to take her to the dance. And that if she went at all she'd have to sit at home and wait till the determined young "Axe-Grinder" could bring her to the ball). And that's exactly what she did. Smart Mr. "Axe Man." Mrs. Mae Porter, of the Afro, hearing a lot of pretty Oh's and Ah's on account of the new blue dress she is wearing. The hat pin is back and Mere Mr. Man is "up in arms." For way back in the "Nineties" (there you go figuring on my age again. I'm really not that old though. I only look that way). Well, anyhow back in the days when women wore heavy hats and "rats" and a lot of hair, hat pins were "plum" necessities. And sometimes (at least, it is alleged) when Milady got her feelings hurt while on a walk or drive, and there wasn't a rolling pin handy or even a book, a brick a chair or something she could throw, she would wield a wicked hat pin. And now they're back (I mean the pins). And the bad thing about this new hat pin is the fact that you hardly know it when you see it. The head of the pin is buried deep 'neath a pretty bunch of posies. So you Big Bold Men had better beware when you attempt to steal a kiss from your own little "turtle-dove" (or anybody else's either) you can never be quite sure that the lovely water lily on the lady's yellow hat, isn't covering up a pin. Attorney Wm, A. Lee, Jr., is calling himself all kinds of names and here's why. The Boston Club met last Saturday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Burr, of Fairmont Street and the Seaton Place lawyer forgot all about it. And now everytime he remembers that plenty of brown bread and beans were on the Burrs' dainty table he adds another ugly adjective to the names he calls himself. At Mrs. Lillian Williams's pretty Bridge party the other evening an expert player paid so much attention to the lovely ladies' gown that she fell down on her score and had to go home with prize No. 4. And everybody knows that when she plays her very best she always walks away with Number 1 or 2. Speaking of Bridge prizes, have you ever stopped to consider that most people have "sweet teeth"? So don't worry your good looks a way trying to decide on a prize Go to the nearest grocery store and get a bag of sugar. At the New Orleans University Tournament a Saturday or so ago, in addition to lamps and linen and cooky jars and even sheer silk hose, there were five big bags of sugar. And you should have seen Lieut Leon Anderson proudly step right up and sling a sack across his shoulder. Dr. Charles Dudley Lee almost through recuperating from a recent illness, whiling the time away now here, now in Baltimore. He is leading his many friends a merry chase, but they overtake him every now and then. And when they do how happy they are to find him looking so well. How the Jolly Dames (Mrs. B. Hawkins, Mrs. Anna Porter, Mrs. Birdie Wells, Mrs. Eleanor Foster, Mrs. "Beadie" Adams, and Mrs. Edith Garnes) did rush to arrive at the hostess' house at 2 p.m. for a game of bridge. Then before they had been inside a minute they were led to a green-trimmed table that looked as if St. Patrick himself had superintended arrangements. And a much nicer man than old "Pat" (the host of course, tall Lieutenant E. G., of 451 Q Street), looked in every now and then to see that the guests had cream in their coffee, sauce on their chicken and banana whip on their cake; or to beg them to take more biscuits or peas or potatoes or salad. And everybody taking more of everything, not only because it was all so delicious but to get Headwaiter Gail to serve them. Soon it was Bridge time. And when the game was over and the hostess discovered that a reporter was due a prize, she brought out a waste paper basket. But the bum reporter was too dumb to take the hint for the very next week her scratchy "scribbles" were right back in the paper.

WEEK ENDING MARCH 30. 1935 CALLS CITIZENS "INDIFFERENT" IN ADDRESS Passionate Oration Delivered at Forum Meeting Sunday Belford V. Lawson, Jr., attorney for the New Negro Alliance and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and president of the Council of Negro Fraternities and Sororities, speaking at the Pittsburgh "Y" Forum, last Sunday, flaged Pittsburgers for their lethargy in not bringing mass pressure to bear on the Board of Education to his colored teachers. A crowd of 1,500 heard him. Mr. Lawson, using as his subject, "The Hour of Decision," said, "as long as the white man write your text books and teaches your children just so long will you remain in intellectual bondage. And just so long will democracy be denied you because the success or failure of democracy in this country will ultimately be decided in our school." Advocates Combined Effort Attorney Lawson said further that Negroes should organize their consumers' power in such a way as to remind private enterprises that they have a public duty. He advocated Negro integration with white business saying, "we are too few in numbers, too economically insecure, too experienced in the technique of modern economic enterprises to undertake a separate economy centered on race." In speaking of the church Mr. Lawson said that Negroes must realize that loud shouting, long sermons, mighty cathedrals in the midst of communities in squailor and poverty, doctrine, dogma and creed do not constitute religion. High-salaried showmen and structuring trumpeters occupying so many of our pulpits to the contrary notwithstanding. At a dinner, the of the Harlan Bar Association, at the Cleveland Phyllis Wheeler W.C.A., on last Wednesday night, the Washington lawyer praised the Cleveland practitioners for their militancy and urged them to do what lawyers of the Capital are doing, making a creative and significant contribution to the public life of the people; that masses of Negroes were looking to the Negro lawyer for leadership and that our life and enterprises in the future will be determined by the contribution of the Negro lawyer Believes Anti-Lynching Bill is Constitutional The Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill "is constitutional and should be passed," in the opinion of the Senate judiciary committee according to the written report on the bill made public this week. The report held further that the debated bill "does not propose an invasion or subversion of the rights of states." After citing something of the history of anti-lynching legislation and reporting that the hearings demonstrated "to the committee's satisfaction the continuing and increasing need for Federal legislation of this character." .SCOUT COMMITTEE NAMED.

We suggest commission be chosen with due hegard for fact that last night's trouble and possible future trouble are rooted in economic distress of Negroes." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL AUGUSTA, Ga. (By S. B. Walker for ANP)—Very little action has been taken by this city's leaders to force the "city fathers" to provide high school training for colored children. Of the city's population of 70,000, more than 26,000 are colored. For the 43,000 whites and "other races" there are already three institutions of high school grade; The Tubman High School for girls, the Richmond Academy for boys; and the Junior College, educational. The board of education is now going forward with plans for a new high school for whites and Chinese. Chinese are admitted to all the schools. But there is not a single high school for the colored children, although colored citizens must pay taxes for the construction and upkeep of the schools for whites and Chinese.

This action follows fifteen months of persistent effort by the Joint Committee on National Recovery of which Mr. Davis is secretary, and the N. A. A. C. P., to secure the full wage for the workers due them under the code. Two men fell off a tall building. Both men suffered fractured legs. One of them cursed his luck.

Written consent of the parents was obtained, and parents were encouraged to accompany their children to the examinations. Positive reactors to the test were given an X-ray of the lungs.

Unattached women are taken care of at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W.C.A., and families are provided for in private homes. All Seek Work These transients are a small part of the thousands of homeless boys and girls, men and families who have wandered from community to community during the depression. "They are not bums," but are merely victims of economic circumstances. Most of them are looking for work, and most of them would work if they could find jobs," Mr. Gebhardt said. A more humane conception of these involuntary homeless wanderers arose when, in July, 1933, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration launched a program to aid them. Within a year a national network of relief shelters and camps was established, com- Photograph shows group of p vey was under the direction of the Seated, reading from left to right registered nurse; Miss Geneva Bry graduate nurse; Mrs. Estelle Swee physical education teacher; Mrs. S Standing, left to right; Dr. J.

Scarborough, Jr. Now, that a certain school administration has finished pouring epithets upon its wandering proteges who saw fit to attend a hop during school hours we may with great concern focus our attention upon their "character building program." It appears that either the administration is fast asleep or just downright impervious to the current of new ideas and situations confronting them. Character, because of its nature cannot be solved on paper or through moralizing and that is exactly what the administration is attempting to do. Regardless of how much a miracle monger one might confess to be, there can be no character thus discussion and moralizing. And when any group of persons take it upon themselves to draw up certain traits of conduct and label them as character making, truly they have performed the miracle of all times. But unfortunately the problem of life cannot be solved on paper, however vigorous the authorities may see fit to apply them. Here they have greatly erred; they easily persuade themselves that having thought, felt and spoken and written so clearly of the right life, they may rest assured the right conduct will follow as a matter of course. It may do them well to remember the old proverb, "The man who rings the bell cannot march in the procession." Then again, they are playing the role of tyrants. They so well know what is good for people, that without their consent, they can set down a hard and fast rule for them to go by. Bound to be Blunders In a school of 1,200 students there are apt to be blunders. It does seem, however, that they are entitled to some blunders for their own sake. The administration has really defeated its own end in their so-called "character building program." It has wrought negative results. When students are constantly faced with "don't do that," "do not do thus," they are lost as to what to do. Therefore, they do nothing. It has been said by one of the ablest psychologists, "What a man can be taught not to do under the impression that it is bad he can also be taught to do something else under the impression that it is good. No one can attain character or self-control until he is taught what to do in the positive sense. The administration appears to be the omniscient friend that knows so much better than one does himself what is good for him, and who insists upon his enjoying himself in the way they have prescribed. It must be confessed that it is something of a trial. Any student body that is not capable of some ideas and workings of its own creation, might as well close the school doors and tack a sign thereupon, "We have failed to produce." Character Building Program A character building program that involves long periods of discussion, argumentation, moralizing and breaching, is foredoomed to failure. It renders one with a fearful, cowardly, helpless attitude towards life. Only when the administration realizes friendly suggestions is far better than command; when a student is taught to do in a positive and not a negative; when starved longings, unrealized desires, overflowing animal spirits without legitimate outlet, unbalanced natures destitute of training in self control, impoverished aspirations are given room and time to express themselves, they shall have in some measure begun to develop character. When the administration realizes every student is a personality for which the die is lost and that his desiay and choices are his own; when they believe in them—genuinely respect them—if they influence them in a finally high and wholesome way, when they cease preaching and moralizing, but lend a helping hand, when they stop trying to conquer one but help one conquer himself; they may in some degree call themselves educators. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays is Speaker at W. Va. State INSTITUTE, W. Va. — Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, dean of the School of Religion, Howard University was the speaker at West Virginia State College on March 17.

Reddick, owner of premises at 1620 Seventh Street, Northwest, rented his property to Frank Demetro, a gypsy, on February 14 to be used as a store. Four days later, Reddick who lives on the upper floor, at the property went home and was surprised to find a house full of gypsies. Incensed, Mr. Reddick notified Demetro that he wanted his property and ordered him out, the order to take effect March 14, a month from the day of rental. The gypsy promised to go after much controversy but when March 14 came, Demetro and his family (nine in all) refused to leave the premises and begged to stay for another month. Reddick granted him four days.

PRESIDENT CLEAN "BILL OF HEALTH" Secretary of Interior Again Places Faith in the Administration Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, was given a clean bill of administrative health by the Secretary of the interior, Harold L. Ickes, in a reply to a letter in which Ralph H. Jones, an assistant editor of the Philadelphia Independent, roundly scored former Dean Kelly Miller for his recent statement that "Mordecai Johnson was impossible as an administrator." Secretary Ickes stated that "all complaints against Dr. Johnson have been referred to the board of trustees "as they, not I, are responsible for the conduct of the university." The complete letter is as follows: "I am glad to write you, as I have written to Dean Kelly Miller, that I am pleased with the process which has been made at Howard University, under the administration of President Johnson. I have referred all complaints to the board of trustees as they, not I, are responsible for the conduct of the University. "I am sure President Johnson will appreciate the loyal support which your letter gives him. I can assure you that I have all the faqs before me and that I shall take no hasty action on the basis of partisan complaints." Further developments are expected. As yet, Dean Kelly Mill has not made any reply to the attack of Mr. Jones, who is president of the Philadelphia Howard Alumni Club. H. U. Professor Forum Speaker at S. W. House Howard N.

WANTED IN— INGTON and VIRGINIA SELL gton Tribune THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE ASKS JAIL FOR CROOKED COPS IN POLICE SYSTEM Federation Flays Headley For Statement About Eleventh Precinct The Federation of Civic Associations at its meeting Friday in the Board Room of the District Building recommended to the House Crime Commission that the numbers racket be whipped out here and punishment be meted out to police who are found guilty of collusion. The federation also cited the fact that unemployment and discrimination among Negroes is the cause of a large amount of crime. After discussing a letter from Congressman Jennings Randolph, chairman, Sub-Committee on Crime for the District of Columbia, it was voted that the Executive Committee answer the communication and recommend: (1) Laws which would wipe out the numbers racket. (2) Have the Department of Justice investigate the police department and those found guilty of collusion be given a stiff sentence. (3) Emphasize the fact that the large number of unemployed among Negroes add to the crime situation that discrimination in the various government departments increased unemployment of the Negro and thus causes crime. (4) Limited recreational facilities breeds crime. Captain Marks Commended The Rev. C. B. Ashton and others made a strenuous protest to an alleged statement by Inspector Headley to the crime commission that No. 11 Precinct was a "third grade precinct." It was moved that the Federation send a letter to the commission commending Captain Marks for the work done in No. 11 Precinct. Patrick M. Tolfrin made an amendment to the motion that the matter be referred to the associations covering the precinct. The amendment was carried by a close vote. A letter from the N.A.A.C.P. requesting the Federation to endorse a movement to supplant the present Miner Teachers' College and build the same on a site near Twenty-fourth and Bennings Road. Northeast, was discussed. A motion was carried to the effect that the Committees on Education and Public Works study the matter and report findings to the Federation.
