PHYSICIAN WINS FIGHT FOR HOUSE Dr. Arthur B. McKinney and Wife Wins Battle for Property Dr. Arthur B. McKinney, 1519 First Street, North Wins, and his wife, Mrs. Ethel T. McKinney, victorious in a legal battle which involved his seven brothers and sisters, Wednesday morning when Justice Luhring dismissed a bill filed by three of his brothers and one sister claiming that the physician gained custody of a piece of property at 1515 First Street through fraud. He stated that he had given his parents a deed to sign and he put the instrument in a safe without noticing that it did not bear the signatures of his father or mother. Later the deed was lost when his safe was rifled. Some time ago he sought to establish a claim for a lost deed, but Mrs. Mendall appeared in court with the deed and the court dimissed the suit when it was discovered that the paper was not signed. The court appointed Attorneys George A. Parker and W. C: Hueston for the property and it was sold. In dismissing the bill the court held that Dr. McKinney had purchased the property and was entitled to it despite the claims of the others that they were due a one-eighth interest in the house. Dr. McKinney claimed that he purchased the property prior to the death of his parents in 1919 for $4,000 and in 1922 he deed it to his father for life. When his parents died, Dr. McKinney stated, he thought the house had been deeded sack to him, but later discovered that this had not been done. On discovering this he said he approached his brothers and sisters and asked them to sign a quit claim deed. All signed except Mrs. Estelle Fendall and Ralph McKinney.

The teams are slated for exhibition appearances on Saturday and Sunday. The Eagle-Brown clash will be the inauguration of colored baseball here. In fact it will be the initial contest for one of the principal cities in the north. Both outfits are heading toward their home grounds after extensive training preparations in the south. The Eagles will hold no little attraction for local fandom inasmuch as their line-up includes several men who are all well known to lovers of the diamond sport. From Ben Taylor, manager of the team-down to Jelly Jackson, one year in the big time, Washington is well represented. Jackson Already a Star Jackson is probably the center of attraction at this time. The brilliant youngster who learned his baseball on the Howard Playground and the Monument Lot promises to be one of the flashiest fielders the game has ever known. Continuing the pace he has set for himself, Jackson bids fair to take his place along with other fielding immortals like Lundy, John Lloyd, Scrappy Brown, Jake Stvens and Martin Dihigo. George Giles, former Kansas City Monarch first baseman, Ted Paige. Rap Dixon, Double Duty Rattelife, Laymon Yokely, Tex Burnett, Gene White and Bun Hayes are some of the other lumi- naries listed in the Taylor line-up. Lundy has also surrounded himself with a most formidable array of ball tossers. His outfit boasts sterling fielding, hitting power and speed. SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE NEWS By P. L.

Writer Calls Joe Louis Tonic of Fight Game 20-Year-Old Detroiter Looms Large in Pugilism 20-Year-Old Detroiter Looms Large in Pugilism By Russell J. Cowans DETROIT, Mich.-Joe Louis, the sensational young heavyweight who has vaulted into national fistic fame within a period of nine months, is the tonic the fight game has been waiting for. lo, these many months. Although this 20-year-old blaster er is only a sprout in the fight game, fight critics throughout the country are saying that he is the best heavyweight to walk along the pugilistic road in many moons. John W. Roxborough of Detroit and Julian Black of Chicago, the men who guide the pugilistic destiny of Louis, are not anxious to rush their protege. However, his quick knockouts of Lee Ramage, Donald (Red) Barry, Charley Massera, Stanley Poreda, plus the terrific beating he gave Natie Brown recently, have sky-rocketed Louis' fistic stock, and promoters from all over the country are seeking his service. The sober-faced and mild-man- Blanket Finish Won't Rush Him Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education in the public schools, divisions 10-15, has been reading the Tribune. Last week he saw an article which provoked the following letter: "Dear Mr. Lacy: "I read last week that some of the sports promoters on U Street were protesting against the inclusion of colored boxers on Joe Turner's Auditorium card. I hope that your paper and every well wishes of sport and opponent of segregation will contend in favor of the use of colored boxers and hope for mixed bouts. "For years the writer has been urging competition between white and colored athletes in amateur and professional circles here in the District for many years. We should commend Ahern and Turner and desire that the boxing commission sanction many more such bouts as occurred at the Auditorium show. "With the great strides made in the annals of sport by colored athletes in those games in which we are allowed to enter, it is very possible that a great many barriers will be let down to our athletes. Just now we are saying to the A.A.U. officials and many sports loving Washingtonians, that Washington is not living up to its possibilities in national bidding for recognition just because the athletes of only two-thirds of the city gets a chance. "Later on even commercial promoters will find it is to their interests to break down segregation devices. Possibly some of the theatres, stores, hotels, and other profit-inspired industries will make a bid for colored patronage minus the practices of discrimination." "In that day we may find many purity racial enterprises urging the maintenance of the bar sinister, but let us all prevail against any hurdles our own vested interests may set in the path of long fight for equal recognition and opportunity. Even the colored boxing shows on U Street will thrive if colored boxes get a chance to measure brawn and wit, with the boys downtown. Mr. Henderson's letter could not possibly have been more timely. Just what the officials of the Lincoln Athletic Club can hope to gain by their action has never been quite clear to me. In the days gone by I would be urged to call them something far more unrefined, but I guess I'm getting older and weaker and with it more rational, because I find myself referring to their position merely as "silly." Every consarned faction in the country that has the interest of the Negro at heart has been bending every effort toward the equalization of rights for colored people. And every sensible person has looked to the sports game as the one medium through which such racial good-will night be effected. Whenever reports of track and field competitions show that a Negro runner or jumper or weight-tosser has contested with athletes of the other race—victory or defeat notwithstanding—wide awake colored folk have grinned a grin of satisfaction, one of expectancy. Golden Gloves tournaments in the north and west have been, on innumerable occasions, the source from which Negroes have found much gratitude. Yes, gratitude. The "uncle toms" of our present age have given added momentum to the feeling that whenever we are accorded the courtesy that is rightfully ours, we have been extended a favor. The idea of a separate set-up for Negroes has been fought against from every conceivable angle by those of us who do not have selfish motives as influences. We don't want it if its AAU; we don't want it if its Olympic; we don't want it locally, regionally, nationally or internationally. Although I don't know whether I should compliment Promoters Turner and Ahearn as yet, I do know that those men who control the interests of the Lincoln Athletic Club deserve all the raspberries that ripen to this summer's sun for their lack of insight. Turner and Ahearn will have to use fighters other than clowns before this pillar can appreciate their efforts toward creating a better understanding between the races in the nation's capital—if their efforts are toward that end. More on that at some other time. More too, at some other time, on the way the colored fighters were shoved into one dressing room, given unpadded, ragged gloves and otherwise treated as the scum of an already disgracefully low industry. But it's a start at any rate. It is the materialization of a dream that uptown basketball promoters strove for for many years to no avail. And just as this Turner-Ahearn act is a start, Mr. Henderson's letter is a thought. "Dear Mr. Lacy; Downies Win and Tie In Fast Cage Tilts YORK, Pa. — In two of the most exciting games ever staged in Old Fellows Hall here, the nearest the Downington Industrial School could come to victory on Wednesday night was a 24-24 stalemate with the York girls—and it took an extra period at that. The score at the end of regulation time was 20-20.

Joe joined the Detroit Athletic Association, then conducting boxing classes at the Central Community Center. Under the instructions of Atler (Kid) Ellis, he was groomed throughout the summer and fall for the 1933 tournament.

(ANP)—Athletes, members of the track and field team of the University of California, proved Saturday in a meeting against the University of Michigan, that it takes more than a one-mar track team to whip them. They won the meet $76\frac{1}{2}$ to $54\frac{1}{2}$ points. Chief threat to the Californians had been Willis Ward, scheduled to compete in five events. Ward scored 17 points, but that was not enough to put his mates out in front. He was the high point scorer of the tournament and received a big ovation from the crowd. Ward won the high hurdles in 14.8 seconds, the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet $11\frac{1}{4}$ inches, tied for first place in the high jump at 6 feet, and ran second in the 100-ward dash. Slowing Up On the way here, Ward told the United Press that he thought he was slowing up. "I guess I can't take it any more." he sighed. "Seems like my bones are getting old. I get tired out too quick. Usually I'm okay for the 100, and I get over the hurdles all right. I always feel fairly fresh for the broad jump and the high jump, and maybe the low hurdle and 220, but by the time the relay comes around I'm simply all tuckered out. "And I can't pole vault worth a damn." One of Ward's teammates stated: "Ward's getting lazy. He wants someone to help him set up the hurdles now. and just look at the way he gets the discus back to the weight throwers. He rolls it."

An important meeting of the club will be held Friday at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. at 8:30 p.m. Misery and truth mixed with deception cannot drown hope. Uses No Liquor Tobacco But Maybe Eats Spinach Roxborough and Black and Louis are race conscious, race proud, and they know what the word harmony means. And the same goes for Jack Blackburn, the old fighter who has been directing Louis' training since he joined the professional ranks. No Clowning Louis is not the type to invade the night clubs and other hot spots to cut didoes. He is not a drinker or user of tobacco. This youngster, who stands 6 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches and weighs 196 pounds, is in love with his mother. Possessed of hitting power and fine boxing ability, plus two good managers and a fine trainer, it will be hard to keep Louis from getting a title fight—the goal he has set for himself—if he continues his spectacular march towards the coveted honors of boxing. Some people seem to be just born to pick at some other people. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Louis Continues to Smack 'em Down; Who is this Baer Guy? of Roy Lazer in Third CHICAGO (ANP)—After a perfect buildup on the part of promoters and the press, Roy Lazer, game heavyweight slugger from Patterson, N.J., entered the ring against Joe Louis at the Chicago Stadium Friday night and was knocked cold after two minutes and 28 seconds of fighting in the third round. Although Joe ruled an eight to five favorite on the night of the fight, enough interest had been created in the bout to draw 19.461 paid customers to the Stadium, the largest crowd to see an indoor pro fight here in the last three years. The promoters were able to make the public believe that Lazer might extend Joe for two reasons: first they played up the fact that Lazer is young himself, only 21, and that he had been undefeated in 35 successive battles as a professional. Second, they reached away back and picked up a statement which Bill Brown, New York boxing com-Baer fought Primo Carnera. Brown saw Baer work out with Lazer and publicly expressed his belief that Baer was not in condition. These statements were interpreted to mean that Lazer was so good that he made Baer look bad. But Lazer had no opportunity to show up the Brown Bomber Friday night. The New Jersey boy is game. What did he care about Louis's 17 straight victories? He Lazer had 35. Maybe Louis had been overrated. Lazer was willing to stake his winning streak against that of Louis's. And so, as they squared off in the first round of the battle, Lazer did some sparring that was just as smart as Joe's. He came out with the evident intention of striking down the new prizefighter sensamissioner had made before Maxion quickly. But he soon changed his mind. The round was not a minute old before Louis caught Lazer with one of those famous TAKE 3 MONTHS TO PAY On the University Shop Budget Buying Plan MES that set nation's styles CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS, HATS JOES Just Arrived!

The blow was a beauty, but did not 'land solid. Lazer spun around twice and stopped with his back to Louis. The Jewish boy did not know where he was. Joe stood back and allowed him to collect his senses and face him before going to work again. Straight lefts and rights to the body had Lazer a bloody mess hanging on the ropes at the end of the first. Louis had opened a deep cut over one eve. Finish Near Even at that time the end was plainly in sight. Lazer arose and Joe drove him to the ropes where the white boy covered while Joe rained punches at him $t_0$ force him to break his guard. Lazer's gloves covered the front of his face. But Joe reached around the gloves and landed a terrifice punch half on the lower jaw and half on the neck. Lazer simply rolled to the floor, dead to the world. Referee Davie Miller started a count, but realizing it was not necessary, strode over and raised Joe's hand. Lazer's seconds tossed in a towel to get credit for a technical knockout. But they could have counted 100 over Lazer and he would not have got to his feet. It was finally necessary for Louis to help lift his fallen foe and carry him to his corner. Former National Junior Tennis Champ Killed OXFORD.

Here is what a St. Louis Post- Dispatch reporter wrote of the bout: “The Thomas fight was a hard ‘one for Nova and he finished very tired. In fact, so nearly exhaust- ed was he that there was consider- able dispute around the ring as to whether he won. He did not recup- erate fully, either, before the final...” Thomas had been the storm cen- ter even as early as the quarter finals. When he was turned up as the winner by a large margin over Irwin Striebel, white St. Lonisian, the local pride of the fans at the ringside demanded a recount.

Whatta a party! Whatta a party! What was supposed to be a surprise party in honor of Mildred T. in the 2200 block of Thirteenth Street last Friday night turned into a real surprise for a group of high school lads and lassies when the cops rushed the joint claiming that liquor was being served and later when the mistress of the house douched the lights and demanded that the guilty person who had stolen her pocketbook, place it on a table before the flickers were turned on Nine or ten times the madas were blinked for a period of 5 to 10 minutes and the mistress demanded that the thief return the money bag or else. Earlier in the evening the blue coats "paid a visit" after storming the front door and later left when they failed to find what they were looking for. The horrified guests were forced to assemble around the table, and when the lights were out the guilty one was supposed to flash the money. Doors were barred - windows locked the joint was in a panic, when all of a sudden the purse dropped out of God knows where. The party let out at twelve after eleven, when all the fun they had was a nice game of finding public enemy No. 000.

I advise you not to go to this man you have in mind for you haven't gotten over the shock of your husband's death enough to realize just what you do want to do. The best place for you is where you are now. S. R. J.—I would like to know if I will ever get to teach again? Ans.: There is a special course you will have to take now, before you will be eligible to teach again, however, with a little studying it won't be hard for you to pass the examination. You should start this course now so you will be prepared to teach the next school term --- LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKER Triple C.'s Club Rythmical Dance Gay and Humorous Affair. The dance given by the Triple C Club at 1387 R Street. Northwest, last Tuesday night was a gay and humorous affair. Louis Brown's orchestra beat out the rhythm, and the many pleasure seekers danced and trucked and tipped until the early dawn of Wednesday mornings. The members of the club wish to express their gratitude to the many patrons present. The members are Misses Easter L. Wymn, Lena Thomas, Annie Reid, Marsilline Laney, Mamie Stephens. Thelma Robertson and Lena White. Will someone tell Mamie Stephens that Alvin Lee was only jibing her when he said that she was his only heart breaker. Maybe Lillian Garland has something to say about it. Well, well Joseph Robertson was seen dancing frequently with a certain young coed of Shaw Junior High. Has his love finally come down? This writer enjoyed the eats given him by a young lady of the club. Who was the "unhipped maiden" that this writer saw taking up all the dance floor with her cow-boy dance? Can it be true that it was Sue? There were many chicks present. Among those seen were: Misses Phyllis Taylor. Christine Johnson. Norma Turner, Louise Carpenter-Emma Fords, Hazel Brown, Henrietta Carroll and Nancy Brown. Messrs, James Dent. Robert Glenn. Edward Bailey. Edward Carroll, Robert Jones and Joseph Randolph. Everyone is looking forward to the club's next affair. The Iris Social Club. The Iris Social Club is giving its Easter prom at the Murray Casino. Friday evening. April 26. The affair will be formal. There is no need of going into details everyone knows that the club presents the highest form of entertainment. Social Chums The Social Chums gave their swinger at 1337 R Street last Friday night. The music was good but there were many old maidens in attendance. Will someone tell this writer who threw the brick through the window? Dolly Dimples The Dolly Dimples anniversary prom was fairly good. This writer thinks it could have been better. There were many fair coats present. Two ladies of the "Juliet's" club were seen trying to hustle enough "beatie" to get in. Maybe Hazel Winkle knows something about it. The Soldiers Hop You know every year that Uncle Sam's dough boys have a dance. This year is no exception so the cadets are having their annual hop May 3 at the same old Community House (Dunbar). I guess I will fall in the moth balls and don my cadet suit and truck on down to the soldiers' turnout. You say I don't drill, after all you know the news must be had. ... It might interest you to know that Ralph Cooper, that popular master of ceremonies for the Amateur Night in Harlem has organized his own new orchestra and is packing them in at the good old Apollo Theatre. The Fashion Show Again you boys and girls who love to tog will get a chance to review the latest styles Monday night when the N.A.A.C.P. gives its fashion show and dance. Miss Christine Taylor, a coed of Dunbar, is directing a chorus. Freshman Prom It is the talk of the town! Everybody was there, including many damsels from Dunbar, Armstrong and Cardozo. The evening was filled with music and the swingers trucked 'til the dawn of day. Swinger Swing Out Why is it that a person can't have a decent party? And why did the boys turn the swinger on Thirteenth Street out? Will some one tie George Jenkins's hands for slapping a young lady at the swinger. KAPPAS TO CELRBRATE GUIDE RIGHT MOVEMENT TUSKEGEE, Ala. — According to an announcement by Grand Polemarch J. Jerome Peters, the week of Friday. May 3, has been designed as Guide Right Week of Kappa Alpha Psi. raternity. This will mark the twelfth annual observance of the movement. Opportunity may not knock at the same door but once, but it passes by the same door more than once. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING APRIL 20.1935 Pete Moss' Band Goes up; Baldwin Band to Howard To Play at Club Pete and his boys replace Tommie Myles at the Cotton Club whenever the latter leaves town. The band is now playing most of its week-ends at the Kenwood Country Club, white. Bill Baldwin and his Ambassadors have been giving auditions for the Howard Theatre lately. It is rumored that the Baldwin aggregation is to be placed in the local house soon. Mr. Baldwin was formally the originator of the "Seven Red Devils" that used to dominate the U Street halls. That Washington has its own set of youngsters who threaten to go far in the world of entertainment is indicated by the fact that Pete Moss's stellar aggregation, which moves into the Cotton Club for the coming week-end, boasts a quartet of school boys who are pretty near "tops" in their respective lines. WINCHELL IN CARDOZO By JULIUS NEWMAN Weekly Chatter of a Columnist. Time marches ahead and so let's hop right on down old Scandal Lane and try to keep up...FLASH...Over in Alexsiast last Sunday one ambitious young gentleman decided that the little town was not quite big enough for him and yours truly and so consequently began throwing punches from all directions, all because of a little skit that had appeared in this column six week's ago. But here's the joke. The law says that you can't attack a columnist and disturb the peaceful bliss of dear old Alexandria on Sunday, and so on Monday morning the dear chap enriched the city's budget by thirteen smackers and fifty coppers. The worst of the skirmish is this; the art of ducking-blocking and getting away from punches prevailed throughout and therefore the Max Baer of Virginia paid dearly for fighting the wind... Maybe he has double sight and can see the breezes. The motto is this: Never attack a columnist unless you have a conversation with your pocketbook. Enough said. Well the Sisters gave a program the other day and by so doing rate orchids. One little Miss earns one all by herself, Willie Burton. Her two swall numbers were: "Every Day" and that ever popular "In My Solitude". The lovely Martha Green shared the honors with her version of "Little Man You've Had a Busy Day"...Simply too too much. Still among the seniors we find Audry Patterson getting a little off or confused in the dance octet. Maybe she thought the characters were supposed to be lost in a fog. And speaking of that Octet. Whenever they started shuffling around on the stage one could be reminded of The George Washington. no dust, no dirt no cinders. How those poor floor boards must have suffered...The boys introduced their eight-piece orchestra playing a popular tune that never dies (except when this orchestra plays it) and someday Mr. Edward Faggins might be good enough with a bass violin to appear on the stage at the Gem. Now is that fair to Edward?... Odds and Ends Down where the lovlies reside (Dunbar) spied LeCont Johnson chattering with a little miss and at the same time feeding his face from a little cake box which the young lady held unguarded. *P.S. A new way to avoid buying lunch. The invite read "The evening shall be filled with music" but failed to say what kind of music which means that Mr. Bill Balwin and his cronies can play a (few) numbers for this scribe and after that can retire for the rest of the evening. No sir, those loud brass numbers of his just don't click. Overlooking this however, everyone had a lovely time... It was rumored at the affair that the cheerful Louise Terry is now two gathering again with the renowned Steve Wiggins...After all they are only living up to that little dity which begins "Can it be the trees?" and so forth and so on. Met two beautiful lovies, the Misses Madeine Williams and U. Woods. Put these two ladies side by side and you won't need any electric lights to brighten the floor. All of this is occurring at the Dolly Dimples last Friday nite. Miss Margaret Weaver remembered that she was a Dolly member long enough to leave the Howard prom and drop around to view the proceedings. Looked quite chic in her formal gown. Keep on and you will be paging Finckel as a fashion editor and not in men's clothes. Nothing marred the evening and so orchids to the lovely sextet of the Dolly Dimples for giving us a swell evening and more orchids to Billie Lucas, a gentleman if there ever was one. Too much said. Mr. James Wilkins of Alexandra, came in back by two balls and chains (sisters) and could not move around as freely as For Students Of Students AboutStudents UTHPIE and Goes up; d to Howard Moss himself, just out of high school organized the band three years ago, starting with eleven pieces. The band became popular in and about Washington and slowly graduated from its eleven-piece stage until it now consists of fourteen pieces. The band has an unusual style of playing that has caused the aggregation to spread its popularity to both colored and white music lovers throughout this vicinity. Young Musicians Another outstanding feature of the band is that it is made up mostly of college students. Those playing in the band and attending Howard University are: Frank Ballo, Barry Ellis and Arthur Ellis, William White, a student of Dunbar High School, who has been outstanding in music at the institution has been recently added to the group.

Saw Smitty and John Wood leaving the club room kinder the other night, but what Chols could not understand was where was the other girl? "Beloved, Believe it." so said the Young Men's League, "let's live a whist party and dance." And they did. And it was held at 12 R Street, Northwest last Satdee nite and it was one swell affair and very well attended. Contest whist was the main attraction of the evening. There were six prizes awarded to the following; first prize, Miss Poe; second, Mr. Gilmore; third. Mrs. B. Moten fourth, Mr. Lee; fifth, Mrs. Furley, and boozy prize to Miss Smith. But she is not a boob. No use, Too late now. Guss was seen in company with Chinaman on U Street. Tain't but one thing to do, Blanche, and that is you get a pair of dark glasses just like Mrs. Hooks.

Walker Post of the American Legion at its meeting last Thursday night at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. received the Community Service Citation given annually by the National Americanism Commission of the National Department of the American Legion. The George Washington Post, which was the first American Legion post organized in the District of Columbia, and the Walker Post, which was the 26th organized, were the only two posts among the $3 in the District Department of the American Legion to receive the citation. In presenting the citation. Department Commander J. O'Cannon Roberts accompanied by Department staff officers, commended the Walker Post for the outstanding service it had rendered its community. Anti-Toxin to Be Provided As a part of its national Child Welfare Program, he advised the National Department has a $15,000 fund available for the purchase of dipheria anti-toxin to be given in werbty charitable cases, and through Department Surgeon Dr. T. E. Jones, the District Department will seek to have a portion of the fund allotted to Washington to be donated to the District Health Department for the purchase of dipheria anti-toxin. Status of Bonus Bill The status of the bonus bill now before Congress was outlined by Department Commander Roberts. The Vinson Bill which was sponsored by the Legion lost out in the House by a small margin he stated. The Patman Bill, which passed the House, provided for the raising of funds to pay off the bonus by inflation. He stated that he personally was opposed to veterans specifying how Government officials should raise their funds, and pointed out that in all of the legislature which the Legion had sponsored since 1919, it had left to Government officials the determination of the method by which the funds should be provided. Communism Scored First Department Vice Commander, Horace Lineberg, the Department's Americanism Officer outlined the efforts that the Department was making in investigating and eradicating Communism in the District of Columbia.

About 13,000 or nearly one quarter of all workers on relief in Baltimore, came from domestic or personal service occupations. Forty-six per cent of the workers on relief were white and 43 per cent were Negro. Only one fourth of the white workers were women, but among the Negro workers the proportion of women was more than two fifths. These figures are based on a study of the usual occupation followed by potential workers on Baltimore relief rolls, as of last May. Corrrington Gill, Assistant Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, made public today the results of the study, which was conducted by the Division of Research, Statistics, and Finance, under the supervision of Howard B. Myers, Assistant Director of the Division. OBSERVES HEALTH WEEK CHEYNEY. Pa.

Campaign Extended to May 2 Walter White Speaks at Night High Schools Reports to date from the membership campaign of the District of Columbia N.A.A.C.P. show total returns to date of $1.300, including a donation of $100 from A. E. Lichtman of the Lichtman Theaters, two of -25 each from Judge Cobb and Dr. John R. Hawkins, and donations, still incomplete, from Cardozo and Garnet-Patterson night schools, amounting at this time to $37 and $45 respectively. The membership campaign was given a boost Monday night when Walter F. White, national secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. addressed assemblies at these night schools. The jockeying on the floor of the Senate Monday afternoon which began the filibuster to prevent the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill from coming up for vote, was also scored by the national secretary as the sort of juggling with the rights of citizens, which a large and alert membership could make highly unprofitable. Students Interested The response of the students in each case was gratifying. At the Cardozo assembly, an enthusiastic student was called to the platform, and in response to his appeal, many of his fellow students registered their memberships then and there, while others pledged themselves to register during the week. The same enthusiasm was shown at Garnet-Patterson. The principals of the two night schools, Mrs. Jennie M. Tate and R. A. Gillem, cooperated with N.A.A.C.P. officials in making the assemblies a success. Because of numerous requests from persons interested in the N. A.A.C.P., asking that the drive be extended, the membership campaign will be continued through May 2.

Courtesy of Washington Daily News COLLECTOR LOSES IN SOUTHERN AID COMPANY SUIT Company Claims Former Agent Owes Them Sum of $243.40 Suit for the recovery of $403 filed by Britton E. Williams, 769 Harvard Street, Northwest, against the Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va., with local offices at 1903 Seventh Street, Northwest, was dismissed in Municipal Court of the District, Friday. Williams, former agent and collector for the insurance company, averred that he deposited the sum mentioned above with the company as a guarantee of his faithful performance of duties when he was employed in January, 1925, and that the Southern Aid Society refused to return him the money when he left the company, January 18, last. The Southern Aid Society, through its attorneys, Armond W. Scott and Alwood G. Hubert charged that Williams forfeited his claim under the terms of the contract because he did not pay in his full deposit. At the time Williams left the employment of the company, the defendant charged he owed the company $643.40 Williams' original $400 deposit subtracted from the amount owed the company left $243.40 he owed the company, and for which, they now seek judgment.

West, dean of men, who refused them admission to the building on the grounds that they did not have permission from the Office of Building and Grounds. Still tramping in the rain, the stu- dents marched to the university gymnasium. Clarence C. Davis, acting head of the Department of Physical Education, denied them the use of the gymnasium proper because they were wearing leather shoes but no action against them using the gymnasium baleony—the portion used as an indoor track. Standing around the railing of the balcony, the students, whose puinber had now dwindled to ap- proximately 120, heard an anti-war address by Howard C. Westward, white, member of the Howard Uni- versity Law School faculty. Others to speak included Mr. Flourant, Leroy Martin, Howard student, on “Nature of Fascism,” Maurice Gates, former Miner Teachers’ College student and member of the National Student League, James Washington, another Howard stu- dent, Chester Williams, white. former executive secretary of the Nationa Student League and mem- her of the League for Industrial Democracy, and Howard Johnson, white, George Washington Univer- sity student.

Ironically enough while the speak- ers upstairs were urging a united front of students and all peoples against war, a military science instructor below was teaching the finer points of the use of machine guns. Banners carried by the students displayed the following signs: “Students’ lives are at» stake,” “War. we fight. because we fight for Freedom,” “It is far greater to have lived for humanity than to have died for your country,” and “Down with war, down with Fascism.” Visit White House Meanwhile, Helen Harper, Liber- al Student Club, and Leroy Hacker, School of Retigion, joined a dele- gation of white students and mem- {SS ______ ________ News.iFraternals AMONG MASONS | Forest Temple Elks By CICERO A.

Deserves Your Support Washington owes it to itself to support the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. All of us may not agree with some of the officers of the association or their policies, but all of us are of one accord when it comes to the principles for which the association is working. The branch is the nearest approach to a lobby at the Capitol to scrutinize legislation. Besides there are the numerous wrongs that the association have adjusted, and there are favorable measures that the group is fighting for. The anti-lynching measure campaign alone is worth the support of every Negro. Those who have been complaining about the many things that the association might do, but have not, might by contributing to the subscription drive enable it to do these very things. The local branch is seeking to get 3,000 members out of a population of 142,000. This number is far too small for a city like Washington. Not only should Negroes here give liberally, but nothing short of 10,000 should be the number to be placed on the roll before the drive is over. The "Constitution," bulwark of American life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, guardian of all the sacred guarantees for which George Washington suffered at Valley Forge, and Crispus Attucks died a heroic death, is given new life and added significance by the Supreme Court's decision that Negroes may not be deliberately excluded from juries without making void any verdict of the state court which so proceeds. The world's greatest tribunal by a unanimous decision in the Scottsboro Case rebukes the State of Alabama for its method of dealing out injustice to seven unfortunate, illiterate and much persecuted boys. Ever since their first conviction more than four years ago, it has been openly declared by leading newspapers both North and South that they were being railroaded to their death because of the color of their skins. The highest court in this free land of ours comes to their rescue, and happily gives them a new lease of life by declaring that they must have a new trial because the grand jury which indicted them, and the trial jury which convicted them systematically excluded members of their race from jury service in their case, thus causing these boys to be unfairly deprived of their inalienable right to be tried by a jury of their peers. Hear the voice of the New South. Says the Raleigh News and Observer: "The conscience of the nation and the world is convinced." This mouthpiece of an aroused and enlightened Southland is convinced that these seven Negroes are not guilty of the crime with which they are charged. Yet Alabama will prosecute to the end. To what end? The end so far obtained has been the discrediting of southern justice at the bar of the world. Again hear the fearless voice of the Norfolk Virginia Pilot that declares these lads "were convicted on evidence which in the absence of the poisonous race factor and the local passions evoked by it would have been hell inconclusive in any court in Alabama—this paper rejoices that the Supreme Court of the United States has once more intervened to prevent an irreparable act act of State violence." Another great organ of the South, the Richmond Times-Dispatch rejoices with all of us that "this decision will hasten the day when Negroes will be called in the courts of Virginia and other Southern States." Governor Graves, of Alabama, respond in a spirit chastened and we truly hope sincere. Says the Governor: The Supreme Court Speaks By CHARLES M. THOMAS overthrowing the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court. Theodore Roosevelt cleaned house when he gave autocratic states the choice of accepting his appointees of color to the offices within that territory, or have those offices closed. Woodrow Wilson next cleaned house when he signed commissions for colored officers in the American Expeditionary Forces, and a special assistant to the Secretary of War, permitting also the establishment of a bureau of Negro Economics as part of the federal machinery. Now Franklin D. Roosevelt has changed the entire pattern of government and extended "general welfare" to all the people. As his civil rights, the Court has TOUR Trial by Jury Again in another house-cleaning in American government, the United States Supreme Court has decided upon questions affecting the civil and political status of citizens of color in this nation. Andrew Jackson cleaned the national administration in his day, and even went so far as to write the elder John F. Cook to return to Washington and be assured military protection. Mr. Cook had been driven out by white hoodlums who burned every colored free school in churches in Washington, following the Nat Turner insurrection in Virginia. Lincoln cleaned the Augean stable by Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, with troops of color in United States uniforms, thus "Holdings of the United States Supreme Court are the supreme laws of the land. Whether we like the decision or not it is the patriotic duty of every citizen and the sworn duty of every public officer to accept and uphold them in letter and in spirit. This decision means that we must put the names of Negroes in jury boxes in every county. Alabama is going to observe the supreme law of America." We rejoice that Governor Graves did not see fit to exploit this incident to his passing political advantage, that he more wisely elected to put law above prejudice and to recognize and face bravely the fundamental basis of all our laws—that all men are created equal. All too sadly there are discordant notes, a few southern papers sneer at the decision and make thinly veiled threats to disregard its clear and positive mandates. Apostles, they of the Bourbons, "who learn nothing and forget nothing"—more power to Governor Grave's determination to uphold the law, and may it be the text of a world-wide gospel of social justice in close harmony with that other higher and promised "Gospel of the Kingdom that shall be preached to every nation for a witness and then shall the end be." Mary White Ovington Mary White Ovington is seventy years old on April 11, 1955. I can hardly realize it. It was a little less than thirty years ago when I was a very young teacher at Talladega College that she came on a tour of investigation into the Race Problem and called at my home, after addressing the teachers and students in DeForest Chapel. Several years before that day we had got distantly acquainted by the exchange of ideas through THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO, the first great Negro American magazine, published in Atlanta, Ga., and edited by Jesse Max Barber. At that time such was the youthfulness of this woman in face, body and mind, that I never dreamed that she could be more than a few years my senior.—And from the day of that energetic maturity to this hour she has given her best to the advancement of the rights and the improvement of the condition of the Negro race in America,—rally to make the United States not only a better place for colored people to live in, but also a happier and pleasanter place for white people to live together with colored people in. Most of the mature, developed-able, working years of her life have been devoted to this cause. She has written about it in books, articles, newspaper stories—has held endless conferences on it, and has made a thousand speeches about it. She has given it the best of gifts: a life's devotion. A Real Mother to he N.A.A.C.P. People who are instrumental in founding such a movement and who live with it are likely to feel very protective toward it. Miss Ovington has been in a great truth a MOTHER to the Association, and has naturally felt some of the jealous guardianship of a mother toward the child, whose future and success were the mainsprings of her life. She come to differences with anybody else on earth, if the interests of the Association and the cause of the colored people seemed to demand the position which she was to take. There is no way to properly evaluate the service which she has rendered the cause which she espoused at the height of her physical and mental powers. She was a volunteer worker, never a hired servant of the cause. The kind of service she gave, was the kind that is never paid for even when hired servants render it. But here I go writing as if she were through when, bless you, the woman is still with us, and doubtless, like Florence Kelley, will be with us till her last day alive. Her name must always stand at the top among the pioneers of the "second emancipation movement."—along with such as W. E. B. DuBois and Moorfield Storey. About the best compliment I can think of is the fact that Negroes who have only read her works and have not met her, always take it for granted that she is a colored woman until they learn that she is an American white—according to American classification Our Readers' Opinions Readers of The Tribune are requested to send in letters expressing their opinions on subjects of general interest.

Arlington County citizens urged to register and become eligible to vote. To the Editor: A few weeks ago, I attempted to bring to the attention of the Negroes of Arlington County the deplorable plight in which we find ourselves, relative to our voting strength and quoted the actual population according to the United States Census of 1930, together with the figures released by the Treasurer's office showing the actual number of persons who had paid their poll tax. The relative number of voters in the last general election as compared with the adult population, or even with those who paid their taxes was negligible. reinforced earlier decisions that "due process of law" carries with it the right to be tried by a jury of one's peers, and that citizens of color must be drawn as jurors to meet the provisions of the 14th amendment to the Constitution. As in Virginia, the governor of Alabama, has acknowledged the sovereignty of the law and thus marked a distinct gain for the exercise of civil rights by citizens of color in that section. What the Court Has Done In a second decision, the political rights of citizens of color in Texas have been limited in the primary elections due to the special qualifications placed upon membership in the democratic party by reason of previous vote. There is nothing in this decision that limits the political rights of the colored man but there is an incentive for such citizens of Texas to bend every energy to changing the membership of the state legisl Our problem now is to show the adult Negro population the necessity of using the ballot and to get them to pay their poll tax in time to vote in the fall election. May 4 is the date on which the poll tax must be paid. It is necessary therefore, that we use every means of contacting the people to lay these facts before them. This writer does not claim that the election in Arlington County can be revolutionized by these additional votes; but he does maintain that by voting in sufficient number, the Negro can make his presence felt to the extent of sharing in the fruits thereof, that for which he pays his taxes yearly. A second problem is the task of uniting the citizens in the several communities in order to build up our strength. Such an organization has been woefully lacking in the past. It is hoped that out of these studies of actual conditions a permanent organization, be it federation of citizens associations, or not will be formed; an organization that will see all problems as they arise and will not flare up at election time to be tossed about by political demagogues, and after election die a natural death. The youth of Arlington County must awake to a realization of their duty and strength that they possess. Problems: we have many, the majority of which can be solved by united effort. The starting point is the ballot. Let us face the rising sun with a new determination and solve our problem. College president appeals for aid to carry on work of institution.

This lies just over the hill of some sixty odd days, but the grade up is steep and exacting. On our mailing list, I find eight hundred names of churches and individuals. I was just thinking that, if only these eight hundred would send us a dollar each, the full year's work would then be guaranteed! How easily could this be done, if we make up our minds! If I could receive just that much from each one on our mailing list, I would not be forced to make another special appeal for a dime more during the entire schoolyear. We could then close the work for the year with honor to God. Other Papers Say Other Papers Say (Raleigh (N.C.) News and Observer) Despite the second decision of the United States Supreme Court overturning Alabama's second conviction of the Negroes in the famous Scottboro case, Alabama officials announce that the state will "prosecute to the end." The conscience of the nation and the world is convinced that the seven Negroes are not guilty of the crime with which they were charged. A brave Alabama judge forfeited his political life to set aside a verdict of guilty upon the grounds that there was not adequate or credible evidence of guilt. Yet Alabama will "prosecute to the end." To what end? The end so far attained has been the discrediting of Southern justice at the bar of the world. Horrid as is lynching it would have been in this case less horrible than the long, cold-blooded determination to bring these men to death under the forms of law on the evidence which has been twice presented to secure from Angry Alabama juries verdicts which were set aside once by an Alabama judge who held the evidence incredible and insufficient, and twice by the Supreme Court of the United States, which found the legal flaws in the record to halt injustice at the hands of Alabama prejudice and anger. As the case continues, as Alabama prosecutors insist that it will, it becomes more obvious that not the Scottsboro Negroes but the justice of Alabama is on trial. What Alabama needs now—what the South needs—is not a new verdict of guilt against the defendants, but some evidence that reason and justice, as well as anger and prejudice, exist in the state where the stars fell. Because Washington's fire-escape law is inadequate, five children and two adults met death terribly in a fire Thursday night. Seven out of eight who slept on the third floor of a building called a tenement by the building inspector's office, with only one starway and no lore escape, were suffocated. The building inspector's office has an inadequate staff of inspectors, to enforce an inadequate law. It can do nothing about the inadequacy of the law or of its inspection force. It calls the burned house a "fire trap" and intimates that there are many other fire traps in which lives are endangered about which it can do nothing. Washington has a newly appointed citizens' advisory committee on low-cost housing, with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as honorary chairman. At her press conference the very day before this fire claimed seven victims, Mrs. Roosevelt said one function of the committee was to improve housing standards for the poor. Here is work ready made for this citizens' group. What has happened once can happen again: if our fire- escape law and building-inspection staff continue to be inadequate. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

ROGERS receipts, paying property taxes, being literate and able to read, and registering in time under the laws of the state. SURREME COURT BLESSES AND DAMNS And the damnation in the Texas Primary case outweighs the blessings of the Scottsboro decision. When the court decided that political parties are mere private voluntary associations and may exclude any citizen with impunity, that was a definite and age-long loss to all the colored people of the south, about nine millions of them while the decision that the Scottsboro boys did not have a legal trial in Alabama is only an indefinite gain to nine Negroes, with strings tied to it. Do not let us turn into shouting, applauding idiots and deceive ourselves; the more fundamental right is the right of suffrage, of political freedom of action independent of racial lines. If Negroes could vote in the elections of the south, where Democratic elections are the only elections, they would put themselves not only on juries, but into legislatures finally and on judges' benches, and defend their still more fundamental rights to economic opportunity. Listen: without full political rights, without equal rights to use the power of the ballot, the minority cannot be saved by a mere regulation that they must not be barred from membership on juries when their cases are being tried. Why? Because those who vote and rule can easily alter the jury matter so as to make minority representation on juries practically non-effective; grand juries now require only a majority vote to indict, and the white rulers of the south can easily alter the laws so that only a majority or a three-fourths vote will be necessary on trial juries to convict. Then they can put one, two or three Negroes on these juries, and meet the requirements of the Supreme Court, and still have absolute way with the non-voting Negro population which remains without influence on the making of law and the election of state officers. But, mind you, this Supreme Court decision, in the Scottisboro cases does not go even that far: it does not guarantee Negro membership on any juries. It seems to mean only that Negroes should, sometimes, appear on the venire lists, on the jury panels,—or that they should not be systematically barred from jury By Gertrude Parthenia McBrown I saw a weed I thought quite dead When a purple flower raised it's head.

This exclusion of voters from the primary because they did not vote with that party in the earlier election, forces all other citizens to hold their own primary and then make every effort to elect the best candidates named. It ought to give rise to a virile two-party system in Texas. and that is a distinct gain for the nation. Qualifications of Voters in General. A survey of the qualifications of voters in any of the states will show that many colored citizens are disqualified not by "race, color, or previous conditions," because that has been held to be repugnant to the 15th amendment to the Constitution. But voters are disqualified by failing so to live and to act as to meet all the requirements, such as length of residence in state-county, town and election precinct-paying poll tax and keeping the William Pickens's Observations "De Lawd" in Greener Pastures Whatever may be our belief con- BURIED ALIVE! WEEK ENDING APRIL 20. 1935 As people of color become more intelligently selfish, they will come to vote in increasing numbers. The house is being cleaned. rights on the ground that no Negro is competent or qualified. All this decision really accomplishes, is that it makes it necessary for the south to alter its technique of barring Negroes from participation in self-government. And the party primaries decision leaves the south free to alter its technique without effective interference from Negro citizens. The court simply makes it unlawful to bar the Negro in the raw, obvious fashion in which it was done in these Alabama cases, — and for generations in all the south. This jury decision will do the Negro race no harm (may even do the nine defendants some good) but that jury decision is far less saving than that primary decision is damning to the Negro race. If we did not know the great court to be above such motives, it would look to us as if they had made a trade—giving the nine million Negroes a kick downward, as an apology to the race's enemies for favoring the nine Scottsboro boys with another precarious chance for their lives. Boys' Fate not So Much Improved We say precarious, because the fate of the boys is still left squarely in the hands of Alabama—and, since the Negro is ruled out of all political influence that means in the hands of Alabama whites. They can make new juries, include some Negroes, hand-picked or corrupted Negroes, and those defendants will fare as badly as before. The end is not yet—not until those boys are freed. We do not belong to that race of idiotic "optimists," who are like the fellow that was falling off a 20-story building: as he was falling past the 10th story, feeling himself still unhurt, he said: "Well, everything is all right so far, and I'm half way,—so I see nothing to worry about." We must look ahead; this thing is not done yet. And that decision against the Negro's freedom to participate in the only effective election in the south, leaves his pressors and enemies secure and in the saddle. And let white citizens take notice: for that decision also makes it possible for some temporary majority, or some dictator, to disfranchise all the opposition by ruling any persons, white or black. out of their party primaries, wherein the real election may be done. cerning "Reincarnation" we can hardly escape believing that we sense the personalities and feel the influence of great and noble individuals long after they have passed into distant parts.

There is some agitation by certain individuals and groups for the revival of daylight saving time for Washington, which was tried out during the World War for one year and junked. Daylight saving time worked a hardship on those who already worked long hours and received less than a living wage, namely—domestics, laborers; elevator operators and other persons of this class. These people already have too few friends at court to have additional injustices heaped on them, in the form of daylight saving time, in order that the white collar class may have more sunlight in which to motor, play golf, attend baseball games, etc. The Junior Board of Commerce has just received two letters which very eloquently state the case from the standpoint of those farthest down. H. J. Gustins writes. "You people who don't have anything to do but get up late and get to work late and get back home early should think of the poor laborer. By putting up the clock, you will have us getting up in the middle of the night." "As I am a laborer, working with a pick and a shovel. I should know. Now drop it and leave pushing the clocks back and forward to a child. You grown-up do a lot of things that children do and playing with a clock is a child's hobby." A lady who signs herself "P.L.M." says: "I am a working woman who works no less than twelve hours a day. Most days it's fourteen and sixteen hours. I work in the suburban section of Maryland about fifty minutes from Washington. I am in the kitchen at 7:45 A.M. "By your daylight saving time. I would be compelled to go to work an hour earlier so the people I work for could get to work earlier, but, they don't eat dinner an hour earlier. It is impossible to regulate homes on a basis that stores and government departments run on." This is one of the most pertinent arguments raised yet—that with all the daylight around, persons who have servants will take advantage of it, yet expect their domestic help to remain on just the same. On April 15th Government Employees will receive their full pay which was taken from them under the so-called Economy Act as result of the unceasing efforts of the American Federation of Government Employees, its affiliates and the press of Washington.

The show added much light into the Alexandria merchants' eyes, as they are waiting for some of the mothers to come down and get one of the dresses displayed...on credit, of course, because there were some gorgeous frocks...Maude Lewis and C. Willis took the cake as they strolled across the stage...Mark Bell. Alexandria's comic strip, was there—and mellow... The kid applauded so much until one is under the impression that Professor Elam slipped the fella a dime or two to keep the crowd in spirits...The Honorable Congressman Mitchell spoke at the Alfred Street Baptist Church and gave the folks some mighty lip-work."If I'd known less than 500 people were to be here, I'd never have come down," said he. It all goes to show ya. he ain't the fella we thought he was. Heh. Deacon?... The fella who did the singing at the fashion show, is in charge of the C.C.C. workers stationed here ...Orchards to Miss Ellen Carter and the committee in charge of the swell doings at the school Tuesday nite...There was a small fire in the basement of the Parker-Gray School. The fire did little damage, much to the regret of the students...Looking forward to see all the natives out on Queen Street strolling around in their rental Easter suits. I'll now say—see ya.

MILKMAN'S day begins at night. While the city sleeps thousands of cows on distant farms are being milked. The milk is put in cans and trucked to receiving stations. There it is weighed by employees of the dairy company. Other men test it for butter fat—the element that gives it richness. Milk rides best when cool. That means refrigeration at the source. By railroad and tank truck the morning's milk is hustled to urban distributing centers. Public health inspectors and the distributor's own inspectors check and recheck it. Milk must have a perfect passport to enter your home. O.K'd by the inspectors, the milk is passed into storage tanks — brine - jacketed tur- eens big enough to hold thousands of quarts. The temperature is kept at 40° Fahrenheit. From the receiving tanks the milk is put through a heater, 143° for thirty minutes, to kill harmful bacteria. After reduction to 40° again it is ready for bottling. The bottles have been sterilized for 30 minutes in washing machines. The biggest one can toss off 66,200 bottles in an 8-hour day. A bustling conveyor rolls them up to the bottling machine. It thinks nothing of filling 8,400 bottles an hour. Capped and cased, the bottles are ready to show milk what life is like in a great city.

He also announced he would ask the Legislature, when it reconvenes April 30, for such legislation as may be necessary to cover the dumping and refilling of Alabama jury boxes from which the names of jurors are drawn. The Supreme Court a few days ago set aside death sentences imposed on two defendants in the Scottsboro attack case, holding that Negroes were "systematically" excluded from jury rolls in Jackson and Morgan Counties with infringement upon the constitutional rights of the accused. Governor Graves asserted this meant the names of Negroes must be placed in the jury boxes of the State. With reference to pending cases the Governor advised that if the question of absence of Negro names from jury would be raised the case would be continued or not pressed until the boxes were re-filled to meet constitutional requirements.

NURSERY SCHOOLS HERE ARE MODELS The ten nursery schools operated by the District Emergency Relief Administration have been used as models in training over 100 colored and white Federal relief nursery school workers at the National Child Research Center, according to Dr. Grace Langdon. FERA specialist for nursery schools. Approximately one-fourth of the FERA workers sent to the center are colored. Dr. Langdon said. Each group of trainees, consisting of colored and white is given a four-week, course covering all phases of nursery work. All trainees receive the same consideration, she stated. Training Courses Offered Training Courses Offered To raise the standard of emergency nursery schools, the FERA in cooperation with the U.S. Office of Education instituted a series of training courses at the National Child Research Center on Highland Place, Cleveland Park Workers are sent there from the teaching staff of FERA nursery schools in states which cannot provide adequate training in this field. Under the supervision of Mrs. Adelia R. Heiney, director of the center—these workers are given intensive training by leading specialists in child education. The District ERA schools supplement the work that is given at the research school. Each trainee spends several hours a day in one of the ERA schools to obtain practical experience under expert direction. The 10 emergency nursery schools here are housed in public school buildings as a joint project of the Board of Education and the District ERA. Mrs. Flaxie Pinkett, specialist in child education is supervisor of the five colored schools. 1.700 Schools in U. S. There are approximately 1,700 emergency nursery schools throughout the United States caring for about 50,000 relief-family children in the formative ages of two, three and four, she stated. "For parents," she asserted, "these schools have meant relief from anxiety—a feeling of certainty that their children were receiving the care they needed." Dr. Langdon looks forward to the time when the nursery school is likely to become a permanent institution, as part of the regular public school system.

CAB DRIVER FREED OF THREAT CHARGE IN LOVE AFFAIR Judge Given Dismisses Counts Against John Freeman in Court Charges of threats and destroying private property against John Freeman, taxicab driver, of 1515 Corcoran Street, Northwest, were dismissed by Judge Ralph Given after a 24-minute trial in Police Court, Friday morning. The charges brought against the hacker by Mrs. Clarice Murray, 413 P Street, Northwest, allegedly grew out of a clandestine romance between defendant and the complainant. Mrs. Murray accused Freeman of trailing her to a house in Southwest Washington on January 6. last, and threatening her life. She declared that Freeman affectionately called "Brother Low Down" by her. had molested her and annoyed her on numerous occasions since that date and had five times thrown bricks through the windows of her P Street home. Denies He Is Boy Friend Denying that Freeman was her "boy friend," Mrs. Murray told the court that the defendant was a taxicab driver whom she hired to transport her about the city. She said their business relationship ceased in January when he threatened her and that since that time Freeman had repeatedly phoned her. Once, she told the court he telephoned at 5:30 a.m. to ask her to meet him. She refused and ten minutes later, someone threw a brick through the front window of her home. That was on March 22 and four times since that occasion mysterious bricks have been thrown through her windows, she testified. Freeman who appeared in court with a battery of three lawyers told the Judge he had been keeping company with Mrs. Murray since February 8, 1934. He declared that she had never paid him a cent for the use of his tax; and denied having thrown bricks at the windows of her home. Told not to "Spill It" Excitement reigned in the courtroom as Freeman was repeatedly cautioned by one of his attorneys, Charles Williams to confine his testimoney to certain facts and not "to spill it all," and the complainant was twice cautioned by court bailiffs against speaking out during the testimony of the accused. Freeman was arrested on a warrant March 30 and released on $500 bond until the trial. Associated with Attorney Williams were Andrew Brown and Alexander Maney. In dismissing the charges, Judge Givens warned the couple to stay away from each other.

Herndon was arrested in Atanta in 1932 after he had led a demonstration of jobless workers to the courthouse for relief. He was convieted of “inciting to insurrec- tion.” Angelo Herndon himself sat in the courtroom throughout the at- yument, listening as the defense attorneys and the attorneys for the state of Georgia argued the ques- tion of his freedom and the import int issues with which his case is bound. up Whitney North Seymour. former assistant-solicitor general of . the United States, presented Herndon’s appeal. He was supported by Wal- ter. Gellhorn. Herbert T. Wechsler, and Carol. King. All four attor- neys for the defense were retained by the LL.D. Walter Lee Craw, assistant attorney-general of Geor- gia, argued against reversal of the, sentence pronounced by the Geor- gia court, Right of Free Speech Argued ‘The right of free speech: the right of white and Negro to organ- ize and meet. together, and the right of the jobless to demand re- lief were defended by Seymour in his appeal for Herndon. The basic constitutional rights to speak, as- semble and petition for redress of grievance, he insisted, are involved in the Herndon case. Seymour attacked the applica- tion of the Georgia “insurrection” statute to the action of Herndon: and also challenged the constitu- tionality of this statute, which is based upon an old pre-civil-war law of the state of Georgia. design- ed to crush stave uprisings. The law provides a possible death ven- alty. Insults Negro Insulting references to the Ne- gro people, whom he consistently designated as “niggers,” were fre- quent in Craw’s presentation. for the state of Georgia, With « note of horror in his voice, Craw pre- sented to the court evidence that Hernd. and the Communist Party to which he admittedly belonged, favor equal rights for Negroes and self-determination for the Black- Belt—the right of the Negro ma- jority in the Black Belt to rule that territory in place of the smatl white group which now holds the whip- hand in this immense section’ of the country. Craw held up for the justices to see, a photostatic copy ‘of the cover of a pamphlet which, Herndon had in his possession ‘hen arrested. The pamphlet was entitl- ed: “The Communist Position on the Negro question.” He also dis- played a photostatic copy of an is- sue of the “Daily Worker.” work- ing-class newspaper. carrying on its front page the demand for self-de- termination for the Black Belt. Civil War not Ended “We thought this was settled by the Civil War,” shouted Craw: “but apparently the Communists don't admit that the question is settled,” and went on to say: “Maybe when they say to seize the land and give it to niggers maybe they don’t mean force and violence. The right of the Communist Party to exist asa legal yarty in the state of Georgia was attacked by Craw and defended by Sey- mour. Herndon was arrested in July. 1982, a few days after he had led a demonstration of white and Ne- gro jobless to the county court- house to demand relief.
