Wallace for ANP)—It is supposed that the law of supply and demand will regulate every need, but it seems not to work when it comes to the crying need for Negro oculists, opticians, optometrists, or a combination of all three, in communities with a sufficient Negro population, everywhere, and particularly in communities where the so-called color line is more rigidly drawn. Colored people, for ever obvious reasons, have eye trouble, and some of that trouble demands treatment either curative or corrective. Our Medical Schools continue to turn out their annual flood of M.D.'s, D.D.S.'s, Phar. D.'s, but with bedimmed and tearful eyes, we look in vain for the eye doctors. These long-looked-for eye doctors would find a good field anywhere where colored people are in sufficient numbers, and they would find a gold-mine in the South White eye doctors, in many. if not in all cases, have seats in the hallway for Negro patients, which means that they wait until all white patients have been treated. If "the favored few" sit in the waiting room, it is because they make appointments after hours when there are no white patients remaining to be treated. It is realized that there is an ethical danger in having the same man examine the eyes and furnish the glasses, but that does not furnish half the danger, to say nothing of the humiliation, that is furnished by the present situation. Maybe our medical schools will have to make some adjustments in their curricula. Well, that is just what curricula are for, to be changed and adjusted to meet present and future needs. The annual Commerce Day, sponsored by the Commerce Club of Howard University will be celebrated on next Friday, at the University. C. C.

Taylor, recently appointed acting dean of the school, George E. C. Hayes, and Bernard Jefferson are serving as special committee to formulate arrangements for the awarding of the scholarships.

BROWN The latest reports in the office of Robert Fechner, director of the Emergency Conservation Work, commonly known as the CCC show 18,762 Negro enrollees, with from one to two hundred boys in 472 camps throughout the c untry. Puerta Rico has 2,500; Virgin Islands, 160; and Hawaii close to a 1,000, composed chiefly of colored enrollees. These figures of February 28. show a drop from the January total of 21,135, of about twenty-five thousand, which indicates that approximately that number of boys secured more gainful employment during the early spring cotton planting season, especially in the southern states and therefore left the camps to go back home.

Cardozo Student Wins $115 in Newspaper Test Charles Russell Winston. 16-year-old senior, and first lieutenant Company B of Cardozo High School, received a commission of $115.20 as a result of pleing second in the recent Hill Climbing Contest of the Washington Post, in which approximately 500 carriers were engaged. Winston's commission was unusually high by virtue of the fact that he served as field trainer for the branch station, in which there were fifteen boys, both white and colored, under his instruction. Winston's task was much more difficult than that of the boys who played first and third, because the only time which he had to solicit subscriptions was after drill at school, which meant at night excepting Saturdays, whereas the other boys, who were not in school, had he full day to work. Winston is the son of Mrs. Anna M. Winston and resides at 2422 N. Street. Northwest.

Ans: Up until the past few months your husband has been acting all right, but now he seems to be "slipping" again for there are several women that he has been seen with lately. For detailed information see note attached to this column and write to me for a private reply. H. M.—Does my boy friend love me as much as I think he does? Ans.: Your boy friend is very much in love with you and so much so that he doesn't want to do anything that will cause trouble or talk about you. He will be the father of several children of yours, but not until you are married to him. M. L.—Should I do what I have in mind or would it be best for me to stay where I am? Ans.: Just because you have had to help your husband along with the finances in your home, don't think that you would be better off if you had left him. If you want to invest some of your earnings in something besides the home, why don't you make out a weekly budget and save a little of your salary each week? This plan would enable you to have enough money to live on nicely in your old age. D. M.—Please tell me if my husband will be any more successful this year than he was last year? Ans.: If your husband expects to have more success this year, he will have to try harder to hold his job. This job is worth trying to keep and it will be through this work that he will succeed in getting out of debt this year. H. J.—Will you kindly tell me how I can secure the kind of work I want? Ans.: Since you are a married woman, it will be rather difficult for you to secure a job in the field of work which you are interested in. There is no use for you to let this drawback stand in your way—You have been separated from your husband long enough to get a divorce without a bit of trouble and that will be the first step you'll have to take in order to get started in this work. J. L.—Please tell me if anybody has put a spell on my son? How can he overcome it?

Your son's health doesn't appear to be so good and he can't stand up under the strain of his work without several drinks. He'll have to have medical attention and grow stronger before he will overcome this bad habit. W, M, E.—Why did my boy friend leave me? Will he ever back? Ans.: Next time you have a letter to give your boy friend I advise you to deliver it to him personally instead of trusting your girl friend with it. M. D. felt very hurt when he didn't receive an answer to his letter, and that's why he left you. Why don't you write to him and explain to him what became of the letter? He'll come back to you willingly. R. K.—Please tell me why I am so unhappy? Ans.: The main reason is because you don't have any friends. Try to overcome being so self-conscious when you are around people and you'll soon get where it will be easy for you to mingle with them. A more cheerful disposition would help you a lot toward gaining popularity. M. A.—I have been getting fleshier, and I want to know if the cause is what I think it is? Ans: No, it isn't for I don't see you giving birth to another child anytime soon. This question is one of a very personal nature and I believe you will be more satisfied with a private reply. See note attached to this column. D. B.—My boy friend doesn't seem to care for me at all now, and I can't see why. Will you please tell me why? Ans: Your boy friend appears to have the big head since he has just returned from college and he feels that he is too good to go with a working girl. You might as well give him the air before he throws you down. You could never be happy with a person of that kind. Will this woman I have been going with make me a fairly good wife? Ans. She'll make you a fairly good one but that is about all. She has been married several times and her jealousy appears to be the cause of these marriages not turning out right. Jane is a very even tempered girl, and would make you a much more desirable mate. read in this paper—ONLY when and in your letter.

(ANP)—Stopping off here last week on his way to French Lick Springs, Joc Louis told inquirers that he was sure he was going to be the heavy-weight champion. Without cracking a smile. Louis said: "Of course, I shall. I have known it ever since I was a little boy." He also paid his respects to those who doubt his ability "to take it." saying, "I don't worry about taking it. I make it my business to give it." and with disarming modesty, he added: "Of course, I'll knock out Carnera." 4. John Henry Lewis Toys With Champion Olin SAN FRANCISCO. Cullf., (ANP) —John Henry Lewis, unofficial light-heavyweight champion of the world, clubbed Bob Olin, official holder of the crown. into submission here Friday night in ten rounds which were all Lewis's. Olin's title was not at stake due to the fact that the boys entered the ring over the 175-pound limit. The Phoenix, Ariz. puncher established himself as the real champion by toying with Olin most of the way in their encounter here. Several months ago Olin used a toothache as an excuse to run out on a championship bout with Lewis Date of Joe Louis-Carnera Fight Set for June 25 The date of the Joe Louis-Prime Carnera fight has been definitely set by the New York Boxing Commission for Tuesday, June 25, at Yankee Stadium.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune A few weeks back I read one of your many good articles and for some reason or other got a great kick out of it. I am not yet certain just why I became so interested in this particular article but it is very probable that the real reason was because you voiced so many sentiments that I thought were mine alone. I refer to the story which described how the Amateur Athletic Union GOT Kirkwood Burke. You know. Mr. Miller, I've felt for some time that you downtown eggs are not altogether unsympathetic when large organizations or individuals in whom you have no little interest are likely to be harmed by your telling the truth. I've noticed how some of your gentry tried their darnest to "put over" Natie Brown and more recently I've looked on while so many of you have deliberately (I'd like to say wilfully) spoken of Lyn Lary in the same breath with Joe Cronin as a ball player. I might add here that I've watched with growing interest the subterfuge employed by so many of your constituents in the reporting of colored activities in this city and elsewhere. But an extension of those remarks can go until later. Anyone who wants to know what I mean can get an idea by communicating with me. But your attack on the A.A.U.. left me with a grin on my face that stretched from here to over there. I believe you impressed me with that display of worn-out tolerance more than you have with any two of your previous works. Then, too, it gave me something to write about myself, and you know how a columnist. be he big or little, appreciates that. But, Mr. Miller, I want to say this to you. The A.A.U. didn't only GET Kirkwood Burke. They also succeeded in GETTING Bish Hart. The Howard University sophomore who can actually lick the hell out of any of the light-heavyweights who were permitted to take part in the "lily white" Golden Gloves tournament that was held at Catholic University. And in that connection I would like to say that I can't altogether agree with you in one of your statements. I have every sympathy for your argument and feel that you were fully justified in putting the union on the pan. Instead of referring to Burke, however, as "the best amateur heavyweight hereabouts," I think you should have called him "the best amateur heavyweight among two-third of the city's population." We have some pretty good colored boys here though I'm not quite as sure about them as I am about Hart. Burke might have knocked any two of them into a cocked hat and lifted a third through the roof of the C. U. gymnasium, but they at least deserved the chance to be thus disposed of. After all, if they want to get slapped on the conk for the sake of getting their names in the papers, that's their business. Hart is registered in the A.A.U. which either does or doesn't mean something (depending on the color of the skin). He has not jeopardized his status as an amateur. He did not sign with a private promoter and then refuse (with due notice) to appear on the card as was charged to Burke. Hart's infraction of the A.A.U. regulations dates back farther than did Burke's. He made the dreadful mistake twenty-two years ago of being born—BLACK. For the benefit of my readers Mr. Miller, I'll recite the case of Burke briefly. Taking from your article it appears that Burke "won" his right to enter the A.A.U. Nationals at St. Louis by defeating all the WHITE heavyweights in this city. A few days before he was slated to take part in the St. Louis affair, he was to have appeared on a card which was being promoted by the Olympic Athletic Club, but 48 hours before the gong was to summon him to lift his dukes, thought an injury might jeopardize his chances in St. Louis, and so notified the promoter, one Matt Twomey, so that the public might have due notice he was not to fight. He did not appear for his fight and he was suspended by the A.A.U., and prohibited from competing in the national tournament. He also lost the chance such competition carries to become a member of the 1936 American Olympic Committee. In the case of Hart, it was simply that the local body FEFUSED to accept his entry in the preliminary elimination here. Hart is colored, the D.C.A.A.U., held out, and therefore could not engage a white fighter in the District of Columbia. This is NOT a ruling of the local boxing commission as the union tried its darnest to say was the reason for the barring of Hart. It is simply one of the many convergent interpretations of the A.A.U. "It is such cheap performances by the District A.A.U..." your article read, "that has made the parent body lose caste everywhere. In Washington the A.A.U. does far more to retard good sportmanship than it does to enhance it. Possibly we need a set of officers here who welcome competition and stand for WASHINGTON, not for a 40-cent promoter." Mr. Miller, think how well it would have been to add, "a set who would realize that Negro blood is liquid in substance and red of color and that the Negro's bones are composed mainly of calcium salts, that the normal colored man has two fists just like he has two feet." You know, Mr. Miller, just like the white folks Mr, Kirk Miller. Sports Writer. Washington, D.C.

Y TABLE TENNIS TEAM WINS OVER N.C.

Ohio...Jesse Owens performed another feat which has and will continue to have principal's interested in the realm of running gasping for sometime to come here last Monday afternoon. He ran 100 yards in the unbelievable time of eight and four-tenth seconds. It was from a flying start. He started 20 yards behind the first marker and was hitting his full stride as he went into the measured distance. Three watches caught him in C:8.4, a full second under the world mark from a crouching start. Track Coach Larry Snyder said, that's the fastest any human being ever moved for 100 yards under his own power."

Philadelphia, this week-end. Franklin Field, in case it has slipped your memory, is the annual scene of the University of Pennsylvania's grand and glorious relay carnival. This year, as in the past forty runnings of the famous games, hundreds of sepia athletes will vie for ten honors with representatives of college, preparatory, high, junior high and parochial schools. Athletes, from far and near, great, near-great and those aspiring to be great, will be assembled 3,000 strong Since the inception of the games the names of several sepia stars have always taken top rank with the carnival record breakers. Within recent years such stalwarts like Beatty, former Michigan Normal School hurdler. Charlie Williams, former Hampton javelin tosser, Spencer, Geneva College high junior. Indian Jones, former New York University shot putter, Eulace Peacock, now Temple University star, Leroy Dues, Detroit shot putter, and Edgar Lee, local youth, who carries the colors of Virginia Union University. have blazoned across the victory horizon in brilliant colors. Of the seven, Peacock who got his early experience on the same cinder path as a high school standout, will probably be the only one to compete in the forty-first renewal of the relays Friday and Saturday. But, the absence of those stars will not, in any way dim the light of victory for colored athletes. In their stead will be athletes whose names have been on the lips of every track-minded citizen for the past 18 months. The 100-yard dash, feature the program, will bring together the strongest field of sprinters since the Olympic games. Besides Peacock, Jessie Owens. Ohio State "Ebony Antelope," Ben Johnson, Columbia University sprinter and I.C. 4-A indoor champion, Willis Ward. Michigan University "track team," will match strides with an array of outstanding white sprinters including Earl Widmyer, Maryland, Sam Maniaci, Columbia, Herman Neugass. Tulane and R. E Linders. Cornell.

Bulls Again Win Annual Y.M.C.A. Cage Play For the second consecutive year the Bulls were winners of the annual series with the Bears when the Young Men's Division teams of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., hooked up at dual basketball: The Bears copped the first game 33-27, but the Bulls came back to take the decision in both the second and third clashes. The scores were 33-25 and 52-49 respectively. CHICAGO (ANP)—Starting from scratch last July, Joe Louis, heavyweight blaster, has plunged through the ranks of the heavyweights until at least one of the foremost fight sports critics, and a southerner, at that, places him next to the champion, Max Baer, in the rankings. This critic is Grantland Rice, who used to do big things around Nashville, Tenn. Last December, Joe had made such progress that the National Boxing Association ranked him sevent. A few week's later, "Ring," boxing authority placed him fourth. Baer. Schmeling and Hamas were put in front of him. Must Take Their Word Says Rice further: "We have never seen Joe Louis make a threatening gesture, but too many dependable observers have sung his praises too loudly to leave much room for doubt. And there is still his record. "Frank Craven. for example, the eminent Thespian, was a camp follower of John L. Sullivan and a close friend of James J. Corbett. He has been a fight fan for more than 30 years. 'Joe Louis,' he writes, 'is the greatest heavyweight I have seen in a long, long time. He can box and punch. He has that flash quickness. He is as cool as an artic iceberg and there are no waste motions in his work. He is something to look at in action. Can he take it? I don't know. He hasn't had to so far.'" Champion Tech Section Team Feted On last Wednesday, the basketball team of F4 at Armstrong was honored at a luncheon given by the section. In the intersection games, F4 won every game except that with the seniors. The luncheon took place during the lunch period in the section room. Those invited were: Mrs. Perkins, Mrs. Burrell, Iola Sewell, the referee, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Renrof, Mrs. Spivey, and Mr. Houston. The menu was prepared under the direction of the section teacher, Mrs. I. W. Miles.

Texas CCC Worker Does 220 in 20.3 Seconds GONZALAS, Texas (ANP) — Metcalfe, Owens, Tolan, Paddock and others have had sports followers tied-tongued in amazement over their performances, now an unheard of CCC camp worker has the track bugs stricken dumb with a 20.3 seconds performance in the 220-yard run. He is McCoy Langram, colored CCC worker, who socted down a rough track, wearing baseball shoes. in 20.3 seconds, which would give him the distinction of running the fastest furlong on record. To make it doubly emphatic, three stop watches clocked the same on his performance. Langram was running in a camp track meet here in the Ottine CCC camp.

The battle for second place furnished the most interest, Paige passing Penn only 200 yards from the finish and holding the advan- tage to the end. ; a © | (aw Around the Play Centers Of the Nation’s Capital Many followers of this column are probably still trying to figure out just how in the world it hap- pened that Commonwealth, — the much loved animal of last’ fall's Maryland racing season, was so truly and soundly trounced in the Chesapeake Stakes at Harve de Grace last Saturday. You know these bugs around this section have a way of hitching themselves up to a‘ hoss, sometimes adopting him like they would a house dog. Well if there were a thousand or five thousand who found them- selves shocked when Plat Eye came marching home in the $7,500 event ahead of the Jefford’s star, here is one who wasn’t. And this is no “I told you so ” tale, either. To prove that. this “tout” will probably have to admit that he was a pretty reckless hombre last fall. He bet against the son of Bostonian at a time when he was running over older and more ex- perienced hosses in the stretches at Laurel and Pimlico. And to add in- sult to injury he not only kicked the lion in the pants, he spit in the beast’s face when the latter turn- ed around to see what had happen- ed. Your “tout” had his money placed elsewhere when Commor- wealth and Firethorn were running coupled—and finished like that. I repeat, this is no “I told you so” tale. ‘Commonweaith's performances were scintillating it is true, but Plat Eye’s accomplishments as a two-year-old were no less impres- sive. Where the former took the measure of some good ones in that Maryland fall campaign, the latte! showed he was no slouch by turn: ing back the real cream of the country’s juveniles in important ‘erent.

North 3815 Ambling About Among Amusement Artists It took Ethel Waters and Etta Moten to shake the hay out of Angelenos ears and start a new brand of social life here that hasn't been seen for vars and vars. Somehow or other gossip preceding Waters's arrival on the Coast spread the noise that she was one hard egg (that didn't like folks, wasn't interested in dicties on parade, and wished to be let strictly alone. Joke is that Baron Lawson one of our enterprising young townmen who ought to belong to the Chamber of Commerce or the Christian Scientists or the Rotarians or something, for all the good-will he spreads, never heard this tip and went right along with plans to honor "a great Negro personage". Consequently when Waters landed in L.A., she stepped right into the arms of presidents of the Urban League. N.A.A.C.P., Federated Womens Clubs, Five and Over Charity Society. Musicians Union and a lot of other uplifters, to say nothing of the profesh led by Clarence Muse. Fats Waller, Les Hite and Princess Wee Wee. The mayor's private office took on some of the aspects of 42nd and Central Avenue, but nobody seemed to mind. "Where's the key to this town?" Ethel asked Frank Shaw, the mayor. Frankie mumbled some excuses. "Well: that's all right," she replied. "I can pick the lock." From then on she's had Los Angeles in the palm of her hand. From out in Hollywood comes word that Nina Mae McKinney is riding around town in her own pale white Rolls Royce. Whew!!

Billy Butler won for himself an envied reputation in London. Last week he returned to New York aboard the Berengaria, for a much needed rest while "Blackbirds" is still touring the continent. Maestro Butler will return to London in September to complete his study at the Royal Academy of Music. So popular, have Ernest Whitman and Gee Gee James become as the comic duo of the "Gibson Family" program, that radio officials last week conferred upon them the honor of top rating among present radio artist. This conclusion is not based on the returns from the Ivory Soap Musical alone, which is now being aired every Sunday night at 10 o'clock (EST) via NBC, but derives from a careful analysis of the popular appeal, earned by the other celebrities. Among the comic teams the Whitman-James combination rates seventh position and that says Whitman, is a lucky number. The second popularity poll of the "Gibson Family" cast consummated last Saturday again placed Theopolis (Ernest Whitman) in first place, and Gee Gee James in a tie with Lois Bennett for second place. The poll is conducted each month and the decision is based on the number of letters received from radio fans. * * * * * Orlando Robeson, golden voiced singer with Claude Hopkins's orchestra appearing nightly at the Cotton Club, will join Ed Sullivan's "Dawn Patrol Revue," when he plays the Loew's Metropolitan starting tomorrow.

Claude Rains, the famous "Invisible Man" has the leading role. From the opening scene to the dramatic and spectacular ending, this picture will have you sitting on the very edge of your chair. Edwin Drood disappears. Gone dropped from sight. Was he murdered or kidnapped? No living man could tell. Briefly, the story is that of one John Jasper. psalm-singing choir master in an English village cathedral, who unknown to his church friends, is a victim of the opium habit and spends much of his time in opium dens. This 'Jekyll and Hyde' character creates one of the best mystery stories ever made into a picture. "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" was adapted from the famous novel by Charles Dickens.

This picture has just completed a five-week run at R. K. O. Keith's Theatre downtown. Featuring the dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and the clinging of Irene Dunne, and a brilliant display of feminine fashions by beautiful mannequins, the production offers sparkling entertainment by tremendous appeal. Melody and dance numbers and the lavish fashion displays all are woven logically into a fast-moving, thoroughly plausible story which combines tender romance with gay comedy. Love interest centers about Miss Dunne and Randolph Scott, although there is more than a suggestion of romance in the battle of wits between Astaire and Miss Rogers and their teaming of dance wizards, Jerome Kern, king of musical composers, wrote the music for "Roberta." In addition to the original songs, among them "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" there will also be heard "Lovely To Look At." "T'll be Hard To Handle" and "I Won't Dance." Booker T.

Dear Mr. Chols, just why did the International Plimp (Harold McPherson) smack "the Hawk" (Reginald Dahney) in the presence of sweet tea (Thomas Hamilton) and ida Harding of Alexandria? (Poor Amelia Saunders) tsh, tsh. Dear Mr. Chols, who did those two members of the Brown Buddles Club go all the way to New York to see or was it three? Well dearie, it was just like this: one of them went to see one of the girls in the Noble Sissle show and the other one went to New Jersey, but brother did not have to go anywhere because the good B.V. is in good old D.C. The Aces Whist Club and the Elduces were put under the table last Satdee nite by the Neonte's and the Black and White Circle Club. Clarence Kennedy and James Skinker were under the table so much they thought the game was being played under on the floor. Better luck next time, boys. The game was played at the very palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Harris, 12 R Street; Northwest. Bro. Harris was a bit late getting home and when I (Chols) left the dear boy was still trying to explain where he was. Hi-Ho-Girls, Inc. WILL GIVE THEIR Initial Easter Prom FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1935 At Odd Fellows' Hall 9th and Tea Streets, N.W. MUSIC BY EDDIE McDERMON'S ACES OF RHYTHM Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb Mr. Linton Mordecal The subject of this week's sketch is an usually frank person—so in order to carry out the consistency of the situation the writer shall attempt to depict a frank and accurate word picture of the Mordecal laddie. Born in the Republic of Panama, (incidentally the birthplace of yours truly) Lin also spent a portion of his adolescent period in the British West Indies, after which he migrated to larger precincts, known familiarly to us as New York City or more particularly, Harlem. Educated in the New York City school system, young Mordecal has displayed a wealth of talent and ability in the field of amateur radio. Owner of an amateur radio station in Harlem, Lin has also had the distinction of being elected to the presidency of the renowned Radio Club of the De Witt Clinton School, in WINCHELL IN CARDOZO By JULIUS NEWMAN The Younger Set By MORRIS MURRAY "And He Sent Down Rain. So that the Plants and Animals Might Live"; But Ah Heck, It Was Easter Sunday. Folks in Washington just ain't living right and He sent down the rain to punish them, but why last Sunday of all days? The whole town was squawking "rain, rain, go away, please come back another day," but old mother nature closed her ears to the pleas and prayers of both young and old; and cailed upon her grand- children, the dark gray clouds, to do the famous shower act. The face of the earth was wet. We wouldn't have minded the rain so much if we lived out in the middle west where a good shower of rain would have been the perfect Easter present; but we were here in Washington where everyone has a plenty and knows nothing of draughts or sand storms. Frocks hanging up in the closet just longing to be sported around the town. There were some lucky frocks who got their chance to show themselves. Let's take those that bedecked with Street during the later part of the evening. Good ole Seventh Street, where you can purchase anything from a straight pin $t_0$ a Easter outfit. The pickpockets' heaven; the wall street of the underworld; the gay Harlem of the Nation's Capital. Here and there could be 'seen frocks ranging from sweet pink to deep yallar.

Linton is trying to steer clear of them—until he "salts away" his first million—or "somepn."

LOCAL DANCES By DANIEL PARKER Our first stop this week is at the home of Miss Pearl Marlowe where we find the crowd doing everything but breaking the house down. This is news. When the feed time came the hostess served the hungry crowd salad and beer and did we eat. This writer was pleased to get the first round of grub but later we were given punch and cake. The crowd was ripe and drizzeling over. Red Taylor was seen at the piano trying to play his number. Everyone enjoyed himself. Oh. by the way, it was a birthday party and the hostess received many presents. Harry Hart was the dishwasher and kitchen boy. The Personality Pals are planning to give a dance down in the old historical city of Virginia soon. Watch this pillar for further details. The members of the club had a big Easter rolling at the home of Charles Wedlock, last Sunday night. Was that the logical thing to do boys and girls on a Easter Sunday? This week will be filled with cances and parties. There will be a swinger from 4 'til midnight. Thursday, at 2717 P Street, Northwest. All the local boys and girls will be there. Several members of the "Piece" will drop over to participate in the good time. all goes on and on, 'cause it's Easter Sunday. U Street After Dark The Broadway, U Street, was shining bright as the mid-day sun, with loud dresses and suits, made just for egg-rolling day. It wasn't until after dark that the folks turned out in the Easter parade. So, we stroll along singing our song, meeting new people, seeing new faces and all in all loving nature; although Mother did us wrong this year.

The President sent his name back to the Attorney General for further study. Mitchell Aids Scott About that time three other candidates announced their intentions of running for the post with William L. Houston as the leading candidate. Others were Emory B. Smith and R. R. Morner- Several weeks ago the name of Mr. Houston was rumored as the most likely to succeed Judge Cobb. However, it is known that Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell went to the White House where he conferred with President Rosevelt on the matter and Mitchell is said to have secured the President's promise to appoint Mr. Scott. Gains Bar Support Despite the fact that the white bar association opposed the selection of Mr. Scott, many of the members later supported him. Democratic leaders in North Carolina. Mr. Scott's home state, and other powerful organizations all over the country including the Ekk, endorsed his selection. Most of the local Democrats opposed Cobb, who is a Republican, but the split in their ranks came about when they could not agree on a candidate of their own choosing. Judge Cobb was appointed in 1926 by President Coolidge and reappointed by President Hoover. Born in N. C. He is the second of seven sons of Benjamin and Athalia Scott, was born in Wilmington, North Carolina. His father was one of the leading business men of that city, having been the proprietor of one of the two livery stables there. Mr. Scott finished from the public and high schools of Wilmington, and then went to Biddle University. Charlotte, North Carolina, where he graduated at the age of 21, second honor, with the degree of bachelor of arts. Completed Law Course As a young man he decided to become a lawyer, and while still in Biddle University, privately read law. The next year, after he graduated from Biddle, he went to Shaw University, and completed the study of law, in two years. Before receiving his diploma in law, he took the bar examination before the judges of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, passed; and was admitted to practice law in the State. On graduating from Shaw University, he was given the degree of LLB. Was Newspaper Publisher At the age of 17, with his older brother, Warren, who was a printer, he successfully started and ran a weekly newspaper, "The Wilmington Sentinel," until he was admitted to the bar. He practiced law in his home town, Wilmington, for a few months, and then came to Washington, D. C.; was admitted to the bar here and has been practicing in this city ever since. He has not only practiced successfully before all of the courts of the District of Columbia, but has been a member of the Supreme Court of the United States for 27 years. Noted Cases Argued Some of the cases successfully argued by Mr. Scott before the Court of Appeals are: Fields vs. the District of Columbia, involving the vagrancy law of the District, in which he succeeded in having the laws regarding vagrancy in the District of Columbia; the case of Henry Nelson vs. United States, in which the decision of the lower court was reversed, and which case is used as a reference in the Code of Law for the District of Columbia bia, and which settles the law as to Section 866; Nelson vs. United States. 28 D. C. App. 32; also O'Brien T.

A clerks in the Feldman Clothing Company store. 1028 Seventh Street, Northwest, was the accused. Sought Job Here Mrs. Covington, a baby in her arms, told the Tribune she came to the city in search of a job which had been promised her. Failing to land the position, she said, she decided to go downtown and purchase some things before returning to her home. Her plan, she declared, had been to leave for Charlotte that evening.

Liver in Home Yancey had bene living in the home of Mrs. America for several years. They were very good friends. After spending most of Sunday in attendance at the convention, Yancey and Mrs. America left the Elks home in a taxi. On their way home, Yancey claimed that somebody had robbed him of $65.00. An argument over the money arose and continued after reached them on E. 68th Street. While in the bedroom of Mrs. America which is on the first floor of her home, she and Yancey started fighting. He is said to have knocked her down and trampled her. Regaining her feet, she threw a vase at him. It glazed his head. Roomers in the house separated them. Had Been Drinking Knowing that Yancey had been drinking and when in such moods, he was very abusive. Mrs. America, it is claimed, tried to avoid further trouble. Yancey, however threatened to go upstairs and get his gun and kill her. Whereupon he left the room. At little later a little girl who lived in the house, saw Yancey coming down the stairs with a pistol in his hand and she ran and warned Mrs. America. When she looked out in the hall, she saw him coming down stairs. He pointed the gun at her, but she dodged behind a door. Being somewhat in a stupor Yancey lost sight of where she went, so he contiued on into the room. Fought Over Gun As he passed the door where she was. Mrs. America, who is a very large woman, grabbed him and they had a tussle over the gun. She wrested it away from him. She fired two shots with the pistol so close to his left ear, that the flash burned his face. Both bullets entered his head near the ear and deat hwas instantaneous. When police arrived, they found Yancey's body lying on the floor in the living room. He was dressed in gray trousers, socks, no shoes; white shirt with right shoulder torn off, suspenders also torn and the revolver lying at the right close to his hand.

When she demanded its return the clerk is said to have refused to give it to her and instead gave her a dress and handed back four dollars of the money. Police in scout car from the Second Precinct were summoned, but the girl asserts they refused to help her. They told her, Mrs. Covington awerted, to get herself a lawyer. The police car was moving away as a Tribune reporter reached the scene. Took Money From Fold The young lady was carried back to the store where a younger man than the first presumably the manager, went into a bikfold and took out ten dollars. Handing it to her in the presence of the Tribune reporter he said, "Here's your money, now go ahead and don't come back." The crowd of Negroes who had assembled in front of the building jeered at him as he went back into the store.

SECRETARY REPORTS $261,623 (Continued from page one) spirit of loyalty and devotion of the members and friends throughout the connection. At the end of the first fiscal year of this quadrennium when it was found that the collections had fallen off due to the depression in business throughout the country, a strong appeal was issued in the hope of rallying the church forces. This appeal struck a responsive chord. The report for the second fiscal year showed an increase of $27,049.90. The report for this, the third year of this quadrennium, shows an increase over last year of $15,885.33, a total increase for the last two years of $42,905.23. It is confidently hoped and believed that all of the conferences will report a substantial increase for this, the last year before the General Conference of 1936, at which time the secretary will make his quadrennial report The Pension Bureau At the General Conference of 1920 Secretary Hawkins submitted a plan to create a Pension Bureau for the benefit of the superannuated ministers, and widows and orphans of deceased ministers. This plan was approved and written into the Book of Discipline as the "Hawkins Pension Plan." At present, this Bureau has listed 410 superannuated ministers, 1750 widows and 360 orphans under fourteen years of age. Checks are sent to these quarterly. The amount paid to these pensioners since 1920 is $1,221,228.00. The Department of Finance is really the clearing house for reports of the general funds of the church. The financial system of the church is worthy of commendation in that it is simple and practicable in its application and comprehensive in its development and far-reaching results. It has developed into a gigantic benevolent institution with 15 bishops. 14 general officers. 7000 pastors and over a half million members involving the raising and distribution of funds running into the millions each year. At this meeting the Board of Auditors gave Secretary Hawkins a clean bill of health, commending him for the methodical, painstaking and efficient manner in which he has handled the finances of the church, and recommended his reelection at the General Conference to meet in New York in 1936. Bishop Fountain Presides Bishop W. A. Fountain, president of the board, presided at the session. Others present were as follows: The Rev. R. B. Smith, first district; the Rev. C. H.

Oklahoma City Millions Distributed (Continued from page 1) now stated in the 1936 supply bill, is $2,000,000. 11.000 on Work Relief Not more than 11,000 persons are now on work relief, Mr. Street said, because the District ERA did not have sufficient funds to establish the necessary projects. This was due primarily to the high cost of materials. Definite plans for the operation of the new work-relief program cannot be formulated until after President Roosevelt has announced the guiding policies. The general plans of Commissioner George E. Allen call for a variety of worthwhile projects suitable to the abilities of the employables on the local relief rolls. Low Cost Housing The types of projects under consideration include the construction of low-cost housing, street improvement, building of sewers, grading of public areas, expansion of the services of the Health Department and special projects for women and white collar workers. Approximately 39 per cent of the employables on relief here were domestic and personal service workers, according to estimates of Leroy A. Halbert, director of research for the Public Assistance Division. 22 Per Cent Unskilled About 22 per cent of the employables are unskilled workers. Mr. Halbert said, while 17 per cent are semi-skilled. 13 per cent skillel and 9 per cent white collar workers. In addition to jobs to be provided by local work projects, according to some estimates, 4,000 jobs will be available here under President Roosevelt's $13,500,000 unemployment census, which is expected to begin shortly. The unemployed here will also share in the benefits from the expansion of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Enrollment in the CCC camps will be increased from 300,000, the present number, to 600,000. EMMETT J. SCOTT CALLED "BRAINS" IN JUDGE FIGHT (Continued from Page 1) week using the information furnished by Judge Cobb, it is said. It is generally known that the opposition to Scott has been purely partisan and political. "E. J." Called Brains Some think that Dr. Emmett J. Scott has engineered the whole thing. When this writer asked Congressman Mitchell about the affair, he said that he thought Scott was the brains because he did not think the Judge could do the things that they are now attempting to do. Mitchell said notwithstanding the fact that immediately after his coming to Congress, Cobb spent an hour and a half in his office almost on bended knees begging him (Mitchell) to recommend his reappointment, that it is Cobb now who attempts to raise the cry that Mitchell is meddling in the affairs of the District of Columbia. Mitchell has steadfastly stood for the appointment of a Democrat and he has also contended that he regarded Armond W. Scott as being better fitted and better qualified to serve in this capacity. It is true. he says, that Cobb has made good, but that is no argument that Scott would not make good. To begin with, he said. Scott is a better trained man with a fine family record untarnished, and a lawyer of unquestioned ability. Has Fine Record The Republicans who have objected to Scott's confirmation have raised the cry that Scott is a Police Court lawyer. When this was brought to Mitchell's attention, Mitchell said that he submitted to the Attorney General himself a certified list of more than 500 cases tried on the civil side of the Municipal Court and the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Scott between the years of 1922 and 1935. Ten of these cases were taken through the Appellate Court. It is doubtful, he said, if the present judge has ever participated in half this number of cases. Mitchell says it is the same old cry—Republicans trying to fool Democrats and stay in office. "I am leader," said Mitchell. "and I am the natural person the President would consult on political affairs." Ethiopia Seizes Italian For Purchasing Slaves NEW YORK, (ANP) — Dispatches from Addis Ababa: Ethiopia, report the arrest of a wealthy young Italian; Ugo Isochi; on a charge of purchasing two Ethiopian boys as slaves. The prisoner was turned over to the Italian legislation which released him. It is understood that the arrest was made in conformity with laws against the slave traffic passed in 1924 and to prevent a claim by Italy that the slave traffic is winked at in Ethiopia.

At 57, he is yet a child himself. In Harlem, around the Dunbar apartments, the kids had no place to play. Bill, probably wanting space to play, a round of "catch" himself, jigged down to the playground commission and asked for a vacant lot and some equipment. He got it, called his gang together and started clearing away the weeds. It is said to be one of the finest fun spots for kids in the city of New York. Down in Richmond, Va., where Bill was born, scores of little children had been killed in the traffic accidents before Bill paid a visit to his old home-town. When he went home, the youngsters told him of their danger. Before he left, stop and go signals had been installed all around the school-house. Under each traffic sign is a golden plaque with the inscription: "Donated by Bill Robinson."

Wright—Praiseworthy Citizen." Mr. Riley said: "We can in no better manner than with an exquisite Blackistone bouquet, memorialize his philanthropic past, praise his prominent present, and felicitate his far-seeing future." About the work of Mr. Wright he said: "Prof. Wright. of Dunbar High School, has been an outstanding figure in D.C. school's for 37 years. A one-time faculty member of old M Street High School. he served with Armstrong High and Cardozo High in addition to his present connection. He is dean of teachers, commercial subjects, high schools, divisions 10-13. A native of the Capital, he was well prepared for the life work he has performed so nobly, in the local public schools, at Wilberforce University in Ohio and at Howard University. "In the writing field, his most eminent historical sketches are "The Growth and Development of Washington Public Schools. Divisions 10-13." "Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools' Contribution to the World War," and "Twenty-fourth Regiment High School Cadets." For his comprehensive follow-up survey of Dunbar High School graduates for the years 1918 to 1927, inclusive, he received high praise from F. W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, and many other notable members of the Board of Education. "As sponsor and editor of 'Liber Anni,' 1923 and 1924, respectively, Professor Wright gave Dunbar High School a model year book: Royal Go Cabaret at the Cryst Saturday Ap HOURS: and through his fine efforts the Class of 1924 presented Dunbar with a handsome bronze plaque gift. An occupational study which he made with respect to graduates, business department of the Academic High School, now Cardozo High School, for the 40 years, 1889 to 1927, drew a complimentary appraisal from School Life, official organ of the Federal Office of Education. "In the business-teaching field this eminent educator stands in a unique position, being the only teacher to have received a diamond medal from Underwood Typewriter Company, for training his pupil, Cortez W.

Peters also won world's amateur typing championship in New York City, December, 1925, by writing 119 five-stroke words a minute from unfamiliar copy, for 30 minutes. "As a civic leader, Prof Wright is almost without parallel as demonstrated by his magnificent 10-year fight to establish the 3-cent carfare for District school children, which culminated in the measure becoming law, March 10. 1931. About $150.000 annually, or to date about $600.000, has been saved to Washington parents through the low fare, and thus has education been indirectly enhanced. "Prof. Wright is a charter member of the local branch, National Association for Advancement of Colored People, a Sunday school superintendent, and is now working on a measure in Congress to require responsible management of all local cemeteries, to insure that adequate care shall be taken of grounds and other facilities."

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 1000 GORY SIGHT DESCRIBED IN KILLING Shotgun Victim Lay on Bed in Pool of Own Blood A little less than middle-aged man, one arm crumpled beneath him; his legs dangling from the sides of the bed on which he lay, and his intestines protruding from a hole one and a half inches in diameter was the sight which greeted police of the Third Precinct answering a radio call to 1828 E Street, Northwest; early last Sunday morning. The victim pronounced dead immediately on the arrival of the Emergency Hospital ambulance and Coroner A. Magruder McDonald, was identified as John Ingram 38 years old of that address His confessed slayer, Peter Crutchfield; also 38 and also of the E Street address, was taken into custody a few hours later. Crutchfield was ordered held for the action of the grand jury at an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday morning. Had Argument The shooting is said to have followed a heated argument between the two men. This argument was reported to have been the outgrowth of an earlier dispute between Ingram and Mrs. Annie McLaughlin into which Crutchfield interceded. The latter and the woman are reputed to be common-law husband and wife. According to the testimony Ingram was lying across the bed in the room occupied by the couple when Mrs. McLaughlin entered. He engaged her in argument, the woman declared, because; Crutchfield and another friend had had a quantity of liquor and had not called him to share it. The man is reported to have used violent language and when Crutchfield showed resentment he, Crutchfield; was invited to "take it up." Both the statement the defendant made to police and the testimony of Mrs. McLaughlin was to the extent that Ingram had gotten up from the bed, reached into his pocket and advanced menacingly toward Crutchfield. The latter first picked up a lamp. The shade fell from it to the floor and was shattered. Fired Point Blank With no further word, the witness and defendant agreed, Crutchfield reached behind a trunk and took up a 16-gauge double barrelled shot gun. Pulling the trigger, Crutchfield sent the charge of one barrel into the abdomen of Ingram. The wounded man staggered backward and fell across the bed. Attorney James A. O'Shea, white who represented Crutchfield at the inquiry; described the defendant as a "knife man." He succeeded in getting into the record testimony to the effect that Ingram had recently done an eighteen month term for assault with a dangerous weapon.

N.C. — (ANP) — Judge Don' Phillips last week, sitting as a committing magistrate, began a judicial investigation into the case of Woodrow Wilson Shropshire, 19-year-old colored convict who lost both feet through amputation following torturing in a North Carolina prison camp recently. The parahel case of Robert Barnes, also 19, whose feet were lost under conditions exactly like Shropshire, will also come under the jurisdiction of Judge Phillips. Sitting with his leg stumps propped up on a waste basket because "they hurt me hanging down," Shropshire began his story of merciful treatment at the hands of Capt. Henry C. Little and J. W. Eudy, R. C. Rape and T. M. Gordon. guards, discharged prison officials, which resulted in the loss of his and Barnas' feet. The lad was rolled into the courtroom in a wheelchair. Barnes, in a local hospital was too ill to be in court. The discharged officials are facing charges of assault with intent to kill by leaving the prisoners in punishment cells without heat or medical attention, until their feet which froze, became gangrenous. Shropshire also swore to a story wherein E. C. Rape subjected the absent Barnes to a terrific barge-fish beating while the boy was chained to the walls of the prison "dark house." Solicitor John G. Carpenter was informed in open court by Judge Phillips that Governor Ehringhaus, after ordering the special court session, called him to Raleigh for a special conference. State on Trial the governor- the Judge said felt that the state was on trial for the treatment accorded the prisoners in its convict camps and wanted a full, bread and complete investigation into the matter made.

W.A. officials say that Secretary Ikes would drop negotiations for this Southwest Washington site a hot coal if he finds land values too high to build and operate a housing project at a moderate cost. The problem that confronts the Housing Division in the Southwest area is comparable to the same difficulty experienced in the alley clearance plans. That problem is to find suitable homes for the families living in the area to be demolished. In the proposed housing project the Government no doubt would have to find homes elsewhere for scores of families unable to avail themselves of the new model homes, even at the low rents planned.

Stood up Nine Days The boy said he had been shackled standing for nine days in a row. He told of the beating Rape gave Barnes, his companion. "What sort of condition was Barnes in?" the boy was asked. "He was in worse shape than what I was on account of his man beat him." "Who beat him?" "That man there," said Shrop shire pointing to Rape. "What did he beat him with?" "His fist." was the reply. "He knocked him down and beat him terrible. I thought he was going to kill him and then start on me. He cussed him all while he was beating him 'cause he spit on the floor'." Also taken up at the hearing was the reported death last August of L. Bogan, a colored prisoner from Lexington, who was chained in a standing position in the "dark cells" at the camp in Little's charge. Testimony showed that Little and his guards had the body carried away and buried secretly. Beaten With Sticks Also testimony was offered in which blackjacks and sticks were used to beat prisoners during the night in the woody tracts skirting the camps. Shropshire testified that he had been fed on bread and water the bread "shaved down on purpose to the thickness of an orangepeal." Other testimony offered was that of Miss Marian Body, superintendent of Good Samaritan hospital, who told how the "flesh" on the boys was rotting and falling off the bones of their feet when the prisoners were brought to the hospital. TUBERCULAR TESTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ORDERED (Continued from Page 9) quiry about the night school situation from the Bennings-Glendale-Oakland Citizens Association and a request by the Banneker-Jones Perent-Teacher Association for the board to urge the government to purchase additional land in the vicinity of Banneker School as a site for an eight-room addition were received by the board. The latter request was referred to the Finance Committee. The board received reports from Principal G. David Houston, Robert N. Mattingly and Walter L. Smith, of Armstrong, Cardozo and Dunbar High Schools, respectively, on the student strike against war and fascism, April 12. No demonstrations were reported at any of the local institutions. Action on the appointment of a principal to the new Logan School was deferred by the board, however, approval was given to occupy the new sixteen-room addition. Miss Matheil Williams, principal at Logan, will be transferred to Syphax School as principal. The board also approved the appointment of Mrs. Ethel Grubbs to succeed Mrs. Irene M Reid as a member of the Board of Examiners. Mrs. Reid resigned to take a position at Miner Teachers' College. Mme.

Since heading the branch Mrs. McGuire has succeeded in bringing to the attention of the public and investigating many conditions here that affected colored people. She organized and led the crime picketers which forced from the Crime Conference a statement against mob violence. At that time pickets stood in front of the building where the conference was held with ropes around their necks.

Neither were present at the meeting but both were invited to sit on the rostum. Opinions Differ It is also known that there were differences of opinion among the officers in regards to aiding a case in Virginia in which two women from New York were ejected from a bus. The case was tried in the District Supreme Court with Henry Lincoln Johnson representing the women. The court ordered a direct verdict in favor of the bus company. It was said that Attorney Johnson sought a sum of money from the branch in order to take the case to the District Court of Appeals. The executive committee of the branch has not taken any action on the request of Attorney Johnson. Some of the members felt that since the affair happened in Virginia, the national office ought to contribute to having the case appealed.

The meaning 6 promise of this glorious season has wide interpretations. To the children it is a happy release from indoors, a season of rabbits, of eggs, of joyous frolic. To the fashionable young grown-ups it is the occasion for new hats, new frocks, exhibited on grand parade. To all it is a harbinger of Spring, a promise of relief from the rigors of a cold, always cruel winter. But to the Christian church, the true believer, it is today as it has been for more than nineteen hundred years—it is the sign of the cross, the symbol of the eternal promise! Easter Day, born of earth’s most sa- cred tragedy—the Son of God, taken by His enemies, tried and condemned to a cruel and shameful death, told His exe- cutioners, “Destroy this temple (body), yet in three days I will build it up again.” With a crown of thorns on His head, nailed to the cross, He died, His body placed in the rock-hewn sepulchre of Joseph of Arimathaea sealed with the great seal of the Roman Empire. Be- fore the door was placed a huge stone. Came then Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to ask “Who shall roll away the stone?” and even while they wept and pondered—behold the stone was rolled away! Blessed event! May we not fittingly apply its holy lesson to the trials and tribulations of our pres- ent vexed life! As we view the wreckage of our ma- terial endeavors, as countless thousands face an uncertain future all but devoid of hope, if we, disheartened, ask “who Shall roll away the stone?” before the tomb of our once happy aspirations! we need to keep the faith, for by that we will conquer. Have faith that in the early dawn of Have faith that in the early dawn of the coming national recovery we look outward and upward and behold we too, even as Mary Magdalene and that other Mary, see and rejoice that the stone has been rolled away. The promise of Easter, the arisen Saviour, we dare not disbelieve. For if Christ be not risen from the dead, our faith is indeed vain!! Vice President Garner says if he had two million dollars he’d give one million ‘to have back his old job as speaker. If we had two million dollars we'd try to worry along without any old job and show the VP how to save a million dol- lars, Se ee Shoe on the Other Foot Sectional feeling broke out in the Senate last week similar to attitudes taken in that body 100 years ago when it was trying to defend its indefensible attitude on chattel slavery, This time, however, the shoe is on the other foot, and Senator Bailey of North Carolina was protesting the difference in pay- ments for relief of individuals in his state compared with payments in the North. Little attention was paid to our pro- tests when employers in the southern states refused to pay colored employees the minimum wages under the codes of the NRA. On the contrary, white employers decided that if they had to pay colored employees such wages, they would employ whites, They discharged colored men and women and forced them on relief. Here in Washington, they went red in the face at the thought of placing col- ored citizens on salaries that compared with those paid the whites, and packed the departments with white girls, boys and adults in a hundred thousand places, In States agencies set up under emergency legislation, colored employ- ees on the pay rolls were regarded as a threat to “the fundamentals,” or white supremacy. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, also broke into a passionate outburst of old South patriotism smacking of the Janguage of Jefferson Davis and his fundamentals upholding slavery in 1859. Opposition to the proposed Farmers’ Home loan Corporation which is designed to break up large landholdings with accompanying peon- age, and give exploited share-croppers white and black, the opportunity to be- come owners of small homesteads with Federal aid, was his ill-fitting shoe.

It ought to save us ® lot of this check and double-check business, | Kelly Miller Discusses Tuskegee and Points South Tuskegee was founded by Booker T. Washington, who committed his friends and supporters to the propo- sition that this institution must be captained, manned and managed by Negroes in all of its departments and operations. I was invited by Dr. R. R. Moton to deliver the Founder's Day address at Tuskegee Insti- tute on April 7. This is considered a gala oc- cation. The most disiinguished statemen, scholars and philanthropists among them two Presidents of the United States, had hitherto been invited to commemorate the character and achievements of Booker T. Washington on Founder's Day. I was the first colored man selected for this high honor. I am not among those who deem it a superlative distinction to be the first colored man or the only colored man to function in any particular category, but the signal honor is worth mentioning as part of the record. Mrs. Miller accompanied me on this occasion, it being ber first trip South. She greatly en- joyed the trip and the occasion and returned convinced that it is possible to visit in the South without incurring any incivility or dis- comfiture, It was the most interesting to re-visit the great Institution, the surviving monument of Booker Washington's character and achieve- ments. It is by all odds, the greatest concrete embodiment of a Negro’s achievements, under his own captaincy, since or before Emancipa- tion. The Institutions developed by Negroes toc often lack permanency. The Negro church- es are the only social institutions which stand ‘out from generation to generation. Private enterprises too frequently perish with their originators. It is hard to find a business establishment of any type which has been handed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. ‘Tuskegee was founded by Booker T, Wash- ington, who committed his friends and sup- porters to the proposition that this Institution must be captained, manned and managed by Negroes in all of its departments and opera- tions. Philanthropists were perfectly willing to en- courage this idea and have put behind Tuske- gee an endowment fund of seven million dol- tars to vindicate Jt. Booker Washington dedi cated thirty-five years of his life to this propo- sition and was succeeded by Dr. R, R, Moton who built on the same foundation and who is now in turn, to be succeeded by Frederick Douglass Patterson who takes up the work where he lays it down. The united prayers and good wishes go with Dr. Moton after twenty years of faithful and efficient service. PATTERSON TO CARRY ON THE TASK ‘The same hopes and prayers are extended Frederick Douglass Patterson, now committed to the same task in the same spirit. Thus we have the succession of three eclored men who organized, developed and carried on this great educational enterprise sucdessfully fifty-five years. This is a concrete refutation of the Teproach so often hurled in our teeth that the Negro is unable to manage his own affairs when they assume large proportions. But I must not indulge in general considera- tion so far as to negiect the more delicate duty of expressing appreciation and gratitude for the gracious hospitality of Dr. and Mrs, Moton extended to Mrs, Miller and myself. I might as well take this oceasion to state that Tuske- gee is not merely an industrial school based upon crude ideas carried out by crude people. ‘There is not to be found anywhere in the coun- try a group of colored men and women of high- er talent, finer cultural tastes than the group centered about this great institution, The social life is not without charm and allurement. The locations of the Veteran's Hospital on an adjacent campus, served to fulfill the idea that Tuskegee is looked upon by the Nation not only as a national laboratory of race re- lations, but in many respects as the capitol of the Negro race, My address, in which I undertook to analyze the character and achievements of the great Founder, seems to have met with appreciation and approval of the vast audience who listened to i A SHORT TRIP TO SELMA I left Mrs. Miller at Tuskegee as the house guest of Dr, and Mrs. Moton while I made a little jowney to Selma University, at Selma, Ala., as guest of Dr. Jenkins, acting president of that institution. I may later on, write a release of my observations and impressions of this interesting eity and its surroundings. I visited ail the schools in the city and the county high school in the heart of the country and delivered seven addresses in one day. As the same committee followed me from place to place, I was estopped from making one speech seven times as the perambulating orator js wont to do, Selma University is the only institution in Alabama devoted to the training of Baptist preachers. This denomi- nation comprises the bulk of the Negro popu- tation of that state and the need of trained ministers is as urgent as any need now press- ing upon the Negro race. The teachers are struggling manfully under heavy trial and sac- rifice to perpetuate and carry on this great work. But I must return to Tuskegee and re- join Mrs, Miller on our homeward way. In going from Tuskegee to Washington we must needs go through Atlanta, Ga. and of course, must stop over and vsit Atlanta Uni- versity and the group of schools to be found in this great center.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNK, Dean Houston Says “Fight On Against White Primaries” | By WILLIAM PICKENS “The next move will probably be a suit. to contest the legality of public officers being used in any way in these ‘private elections.’” That is the challenge with which Charles H. Houston, eminent colored attorney. would meet the recent Supreme Court decision, barring Negroes from white Democratic primaries in the south, on the ground that political parties are voluntary associations and that their pri- mary elections are “private” matters, He thinks that “Negroes ought to challenge through the courts and the press and all other effective means any discriminations in fact which are imposed upon them by a lily-white government.” ‘Mr, Houston therefore agrees with our sug- gestion. which suggestion was first made to me by P. L. Prattis, of the Associated Negro Press, that_some powerful organization, like ‘the N.A.A.C.P., should start work for a con- ‘stitutional amendment, if necessary, to remove for colored people the suffrage limitation re- cently upheld by the Supreme Court in the Texas case, We had written to a number of eminent law- yers, white and colored. Arthur Garfield Hayes, great lawyer of the white race, fears that such an amendment could not be enacted, or if enacted, would be an empty gesture. He thinks the case is “hopeless,” and that the time, cnerey and expense wuld be wasted. He con- eludes: _ “Finally, you and I both know that the law is not nearly so important as general condi- tions, that whatever laws there are, people, when so inclined, will get around them, So even if we had an amendment, at most we would win a technical victory, since the result can be achieved out, when eae give rise to situation are cl i” ‘Arthur Garfield Hayes ‘has ‘had so. many trials in defending the civil rights of radicals and minorities, that he has grown distrustful of law unsupported by local or at least public sentiment, I find myself in the column with Houston: willing to meet this great evil with a chal- Jenge and a fight. To give up and de anyhow is not so good a way to die as fighting. If we lose the ojective fought for, we will have the gain of the fight—Any organization that led such a fight would need the support of every Negro out of the insane asylums, and of every white person who could be won to the cause. ‘To do just NOTHING will be to do JUST NOTHING. > Ncta!, | Our Readers’ Opinions letuere exprening ions on ners! fe chy good dsitr ond give elves ‘aed wieshive bow: ‘beet ‘Biames will not be Published If ve regowteds Writer wonders will. citizens show as much pride as they should, To the Editor: Theatres downtown here in Newark (NJ.) are reported to be losing money by their jim- crow policy of excluding Negroes from’ or- chestra seats, Negroes point to the fact that the balcony seats are usually filled while one can note rows of empty seats in the orchestra ection. ‘They claim that many race members would buy seats in the orchestra but for the discriminatory practices that maintain at some of the leading theatres.

With the means to fight this evi on every side, we could at least take advantage and put our shoulders to the wheel and push, Not only are the means to fight illiteracy around us but the FERA is doing more, it is sending it out to those who need it. Everyone of us need these means to fight illiteracy. In every war there must be some one at home to man- ufacture the needs of war, The same applies to any war. Every one of use cannot go to the front but we can stay at home and keep the necessities flowing to the fighters. Propaganda must be spread far and wide. Encouragement to furnish the financial backings. The government is furnishing the mon- ey and the implements of this war; all we need to do is to encourage those who need to go to school and spread the propaganda, down with illiteracy! Much can be done if we will try to encourage those who are among us who cannot read or write to go to school. Over a year ago the FERA se- lected a group of unemployed teachers to seek a way to decrease illiteraey among our people. They had no place set aside for their work. There were no work shops. They had to make house to house contacts to find out if they had been to school or not. If they had never been to school hey had to try_and persuade them to go. ‘These contacts resulted in many repeats to persuade them to enter some school and take advantage of the last minute oppotrunity left of their lives. Some of the prospec- tive students did go, some would promise, others flatly refused, stating that, “they had passed these many years without it, what BOOKS Arcadia House takes great plea- sure in announcing the publication ‘on April 25th of “After All These Years,” a novel by Elinor Maxwell.

After here gradua- tion from Mary Institute she travelled extensively, at one time acting as official historian on a diplomatic mission to Europe, She began her writing career when she was seven yeas old, at which time she produced a cage: zine consisting of poems. articles and drawings created entirely by herself. The edition amounted to a single copy. At eighteen she sold her first story to the Smart Set Magazine. and since then several hundred of her short stories and articles have appeared in the most popular magazines of national cireulation. “After All These Years,” her first novel, is a stirring romance of the World War, the boom period that came after it, and the depres- sion that followed upon the heels of the boom; and in it Elinor Max- well has drawn a vivid portrait of her heroine between the ages of sixteen and thirty- six. sees “The Adventures of Araminta,” a litte city girl, at her grandmoth- er’s farm in Alabama make up a book by Mrs. Eva Evans, kinder- garten instructor at the Atlanta Hints on TUBERCULOSIS T.

Many thousands of persons were contacted. Varied excuses. were used to get away from the idea of going to school Such disappointments were not to last and today many classes are held. Much work is being done tc stamp out illiteracy. Even though the work is still in the experimental stages these teachers have proven that a per- manent set up can be obtained from this work. There are many things that con- fronts the teacher of illiteracy: 1, Age—which causes the prospec- tive student to feel that it is too late to learn to read and write. 2. Pride—hate to admit that they cannot read or write. 3. Fear—of making mistakes and ‘being laughed at by others, 4, Shamefulness or bashfulness —of being in classes of younger students or those who are more apt than others, 5. Ignorant—of the fact that they will be helped and not hinder: 6. Clothing—not sufficient to go to school. 7. Children—no one to care for them while they attend classes. Misinformed and superstition by others that workers want to gel information for some one. else. That this information will be used against them by the relief offices All of these obstacles must be moved before the teachers can go on with their work. They have fought bravely.

W. HAYES (Subbing for Hayes) se 5 Indorsement of the American Automobile Association was with- held by the American Federation of Government Employees on last Friday night, at a meeting held at the Hamilton Hotel on account of its policy of barring Negroes from membership. It will be recalled that the Keystone Automobile Association was denied indorsement by the American Federatior. of Government Employees last year, when its discrimination policy against Negroes based on an expose which sp- peared in the Washington Tribune, was brought to the attention of the D.C, Department of the American Federation of Government Employees, : "Our Negro motirists and others who are in possession of evidence of discrimination against Negroes, are urged to get in touch with this columnist immediately (Telephone North 1880), since it is proposed to bring this matter before the Central Labor Union at its May meet- ing, with a view towards putting the AAA on the unfair list or te force them to lift their racial band. | The case of Sherman R. Hill clearly illustrates the necessity of Federal Employees being unionized. Mr, Hill, a native of Mobile, Ala- bama. where he served as a public school prineipal until 1911, when he accepted a position of mail clerk in the Pensacola Naval Air Station, being the only Negro clerk in the station. In 1933 he was let out of Service on account of the operation of the so-called Economy Act and “lack of funds,” notwithstanding his excellent efficiency rating and un- blemished record of more than twenty years service and first grade Civil Service Status. i During the month of January of this year, Mr. Hill came to Wash- ington, D.C., seeking an adjustment. of his case, after having exhausted all other local means and with the assistance of the Postal Alliance. On arriving in the city, Mr. Hill immediately got in touch with the American Federation of Government Employees, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor, and now happily after approximately two and one-half months of assistance from the American Federation of Government Employees, his reinstatement as clerk in the Pensacola Naval Air Station has been ordered by the Navy Department, and he will leave shortly to resume his former duties at that station, It should also be mentioned that, through the efforts of the Ameri- ean Federation of Government Employees, Mr. Hill received temporary employment in the Department of Commerce while in Washington, during which time he has made an excellent record in the Bureau of Air Commerce, whose officials were reluctant to have him sever his connection with that Bureau. However, Mr. Hill informed them that the pressure of personal business is one of the main reasons for his return. Incidentally, Mr. Hill has large real estate holdings in both Pensacola and Mobile. White officials at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, made much of this fact in preventing his reinstatement, on the ground that he didn't need to work because of his property holdings. All persons and organizations are urged to immediately get in touch with their Congressmen and Senators and let them know their attitude on the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill which is to come up shortly for action. The Southern Congressmen and Senators have already gone into a huddle on the bilt and are wing gvery possible means to defeat the bill beeause it “reflects on the South,” although the Dill is not aimed at any section of the country, but it is intended to curd lynching throughout the United States. Senator Smith of South Caro- Una has fired the opening gun in the campaign of opposition to the bill, and declaring to the high heavens, that the “virtue and purity of our women will be protected.” notwithstanding the fact that numerous clubs and organizations composed of white women of the South, have repeat- edly asserted that they do not desire or need the protection offered by mob violence. However, Senator Smith does not speak for the entire South, according to one who signs himself Jeffersonian in a letter to the News: qthe Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill is not @ reflection on the South, as Senator Smith of South Carolina maintains. If I know anything, for years as having lived in the South, I contend that the intelligent and cultural Southerners of whom there are many, aré thoroughly disgusted with crass brutality of lynching. “It is only the lowest, most ignorant and degraded specimens who, under mob hysteria and the leadership of some half-wit, participate in these orgies. From what I have heard, the Costigan-Wagner Anti- Lynching Bill has the indorsement of the most enlightened portion of the Southerners. “Senator Smith trots out all those time-worn.shibboleths about (We got to defend the virtue of our women” etc. That is an insult to the good women of the South. Time and again they have protested and tried to prevent these lynchings. “Senator Smith is behind the times, he does not represent the new and better and more humane South.’ Many Southerners, including Southern Congressmen, are supporting this bill. ‘There are tre Sates the old, feudal and fake chivalrous and the real. honest, and modern South. Senator Smith is speaking for the old, not the new.” ve ee Congressmen Ellenkogen of Pennsylvania, sponsor of the Rent Control Bill, will address a mass meeting tonight, Thursday—8 p.m. on the subject of the control of rents for the city of Washington, ‘The piceting is under the auspices of the Central Labor Union and will be held in the Labor Department Auditorium, Fourteenth and Constitution Avenue, Northwest.

Church, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt made a fervent plea for “social justice,” and declared her “belief that the problems and mode of living of all minority groups is a necessary study for all who seck the advancement of the country as a whole.” “I have tried,” said she, “to un- derstand the problems of people in different parts of our country, and have achieved a degree of under- standing out of which has develop- ed certain convictions.” “I am con- vinced.” she continues, “that for a long time; colored peop'e and ail minority groups in America, to ob- tain recognition. must do as women had to do. a little better work than the standard performance.” Mrs. Roosevelt declared that the ueed of all of us “is to work for equality of opportunity. regardless of race. or creed. or color,” not to come immediately, but omly when the people understand that standards Sf life most be raised everywhere at the same time. Mrs. Roosevelt announced that her job is “to stress this granting of equality of oppor- tunity and recognition of all minor- ity groups.” “We shall make a be- ginning when we give equal educa- tional opportunity to all. to be fol- lowed by the granting of equal op- portunities for employment.” a oer we all wo er of the country can be fartherel by our joint efforts, that we can all live together with interest and af- fection each for the other and thereby further the good of ail.

Hair Vim System. Apply in person. Bring this Ad. to Parlor—And receive Free—Box of Hair Vim, a Manicure or Facial Massage. Two gracious ladies facing the spotlight in a crowded auditorium. One, the First Lady of the Land. Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt dressed in the "Eleanor Blue" she made so famous. The other First Lady of Washington's N.A.A.C.P., Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, very smart in black and white. Both of them said kind words about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. But you were there and heard 'em. "It Happened One Night" (I mean the pretty trick the Derby's played). They took a lot of pink potted plants, some growing palms and ferns and transformed the center of the Lincoln Colonnade into a regular fairyland. A flowing fountain too, was there and clever wooden figures of men and maidens fair. Then the Derby's whispered to he "Blue Birds" and they flew forthwith to chirp their merry music. Messrs. Kermit Ross and Charles Cornish sat at the entrance and gave you a grand smile of welcome. Messrs. Thomas H. Bragg, Edward Howard and Dr. Adolphus Woodward stood proudly by to see that nothing went awry (and it didn't). It was a be-a-u-tiful affair. Soft lights cast a lovely glow, and the many-colored gowns of the ladies made a pretty contrast with the shining dark garb of their partners. When you saw talk Helen Baxter Gray in pale pink face you felt right away that all women should wear pink to a ball. When you spied charming Mrs John B. Lewis, of 133 S Street Northwest, in a low-cut dress of American Beauty red you almost swore to yourself that red is the right shade to wear. When lovely Eleanor Foster smiled at you in her very sweet way and you stopped looking at her face long enough to notice her dress, you probably promptly decided that frilly "Baby" blue is milady's A-1 color. And Mrs. Flossie Thomas (looking smart in black) made you want to cast your vote for black. Indeed so many lovely ladies in so many different colors you were finally forced to conclude that it isn't the shade of her gown at all that endears milady to you, but the deaf sweet creature herself. The Derby's dance is past but memories of happy hour still linger with its guests. Speaking of the Derby Club, a lot of us are thanking that organization for giving us a glimpse of those two prosperous looking Baltimore attorneys. Messrs. Linwood G. Koger and William T. Buckner. Somebody asking Mr. Walter White (National Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P.) if his wife, the former Gladys Powell, was as pretty as ever. The beaming New Yorker saying "prettier, of course," and you and I (who remember her from her long residence in Washington) believing what Mr. White said. Just how effective a cape can be was smartly exemplified by Miss Caroline Calloway last Sunday afternoon when she topped her otherwise plain outfit with a short fur cape. (Yes, the Judge was there too looking as if he liked the cape—not as well of course as he liked the girl that was in it.) Dr. E. C. Wiggins (president of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia) and Mrs. Wiggins leaving the theatre. He looking as if he felt ever so happy at the way the public meeting of the society (dedicated to Child) turned out at the Garnet Patterson School the other evening. Mrs. Wiggins ever so smartly dressed in black with a vivid green hat adding just the proper touch of color. HOSTESS CLUB AT Y.W.C.A ENTERTAINS AT BUFFET DANCE The Entertainment Committee of the Hostess Club of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. was host at a buffet supper dance at the Y. W. recently. The gymnasium was recorated in a color scheme of green and white. Tables were placed on the sides of the gymnasium, each having a lighted candle. Music was furnished by Louis Brown. During the intermission two young men from C.C.C. Camp at Bladensburg, Md., rendered musical selections. Mrs. Ellen V. Johns, house directress of the Y, presented a silver crown to Miss Mary Coleman, president of the Hostess Club, who in turn crowned Miss Josephine Lowery as Miss Phyllis Wheatley; Miss Lowery having sold the largest amount of tickets. Members of the entertainment committee are: Mrs. Clara W. Taylor, chairman; Misses Josephine Lowery, Alice Renfro, Susie B. Green and Francis Grissom. FIVE The charming Holloman sisters of P Street and Miss Helen Alston went up to Lincoln University recently to attend the Senior-Junior Prom. And now there's probably not a whole masculine heart left on Lincoln's campus—well maybe there are some among the sophomores and freshmen (they didn't get a chance to see the winsome Helen in that striking dress of white with its brightening bit of red; nor did they get a glimpse of the lovely Holloman sisters in the pretty gowns they wore to the dance). Otherwise their hearts might be in pieces too. Washington friends of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Young, of Baltimore are busy enlarging the space in their hearts that they had allotted to the popular couple. And all because little Miss Young who recently joined the family circle is "kickingly" edmanding a place for herself. Here's hoping the baby's face will grow as pretty as her Ma's (the former Addie R. Turner, of Sixth Street. Northwest) and her laugh as jolly as her Pa's. The way Attorney Belford Lawson can "pinch hit" in the speech-making game is a—(can't find the right word). Anyway Mr. Lawson addressed the Business and Professional Women's League at the Y.M.C.A. recently. What never heard of the league? Well, you big bold business men had better beware. There's a regular army of business women arriving. The smart looking lady smiling at you over the counter in Reid's Corner is the president, Mrs. G. B. Reid, Charming Miss Inez Nichols, editor of the Negro Woman's World is the secretary. Aiding and abetting the above are Mrs. Milton A. Francis, Mrs. Natalie Hill, Mrs. Esther Popel Shaw and Mrs. Mary Church Terrel. The league numbers among its members artists, florists, dressmakers, beauticians; printers, doctors, nurses and what not. At its Sunday evening meeting Mrs. Regina Chandler of 1714 Ninth Street, presided ever so efficiently. Mr. Lewis Minor's big bass voice gladdened the hearts of the audience as did the singing of Mr. Joseph Delaney, Mr. Louis N. Brown's piano playing brought a thrill to all, and the "Docking's Trio" did much to enliven the occasion. Miss Melba Miller carried her listeners to other worlds with her very delightful readings. And before the evening was over you were wishing you had a million dollars so you could turn a fourth of 'em over to the Business and Professional Women's League so they in turn could add 'em to their shops and studios and cause 'em all to grow. This column is not a fashion sheet nor even the work of a wise savant. But it did say a month or so ago that certain ovely young ladies would make pretty pictures in the fetching new bonnets; and that Miss Merriam Lucas was one of 'em. Now see what happened. Even as the column was going to press the graceful young daughter of Mr. James Lucas (teacher in the city schools) was busy buying herself a bonnet. And the other day she went out for a walk wearing the bluest bit of a bonnet atop her head to match her net blue fur-collared suit (bright red earrings too). And you'd be surprised at the trouble a lot of us had trying to make our necks remember their etiquette and not turn around so many times. --- There's a mighty moving among the Musolits. Something seems to tell us they're getting ready for Palm Beach. Asbury Park, or maybe Sparrow's. (Oh, a dance of course). TENDERED SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY The Rev. and Mrs. George W. Steele, of Chapel Avenue, Fairmont Heights, surprised their niece, Elizabeth Braxton, with a birthday party, April 14. Games featured the evening. The birthday gifts were numerous and beautiful.

Kappa Alpha Psi Dawner Brightens Dull Easter Despite intermittent rain which spoiled the annual U Street Easter parade, Washington society folks and many out-of-town visitors turned out in full for the Kappa Alpha Psi dawn dance held at the Masonic Temple Monday morning where, amid gay decorations, nearly 1,000 guests tripped the light fantastic to climax a week-end of Easter celebration.

He has become steeped in the tra- ditions and trends of the Bar and now wears with becom ing dignity, the robes of the judiciary in many places. The old myths that it takes influence with judges are daily exploding as the Negro lawyer, with his preparation sincerity and indomitable spirit, puts lawyers of the othe: group t flight. These accomplishments and achieve- foents will continue in direct. proportion to the extent which our people will intrust their business to hands of the trained Negro lawyer of integrity. Experience has taught that tere sno department of our Government from which we get greater recognition on: our-climb to equality. than from the judicial branch. Let us further our cause by the development of a fearless, able and militant Negro Bar. whose “presence alone. will yochsafe to every litigunt of color a type of security which he has never known.

CARTER qyand Wallace J. Campbell. soloist Dr, R. Nathaniel Det, composer and ‘conductor, directed the Na thaniel Dett Choral Society, com posed of 209: mixed: voices, in nicely balanced and classified pro gram to open the first musica festival of the chorus named jn hi honor at the Washington Auditor ium, Tuesday night. The internationally known mu sician was greeted on the opening night of the two-day musical con cert by a host of society folk anc music lovers including Mrs, Elean or Roosevelt and a White Hous party of six, Congressman anc Mrs. Arthur W. Mitche!l and Dr and Mrs. Mordecai Johnson. Ap proximately 1,700 attended th choral concert on the first night, Others in Congressman Mitchell’ box were Mrs. Foreman, teacher of Science at Hampton Institute and Mrs, Garnes, voice teacher al Hampton. The Nathaniel Dett Choral So- ciety. organized less than eight months, gave the concert for the benefit. of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. The chorus, under the excellent control of Dr, Dett at all times, was responsive and the music characterized by sweet tonal quality and balance of voices. Ar- ticulation was excellent. Conyentional Program ‘The program was conventional in selection. cpening with folk idioms from other shores and followed by Russian folk idioms, religious com- positions by American composers, Negro idioms in motif by Dr. Dett and special arrangements by Dr. Dett, The first group included Dr Dett's own Bahama Negro melody, “Gently Lord, O Gently Lead Us,” “Sky So Bright,” a spiritual, and “As by the Streams of Babylon,” (Campion-Dett). “Lord Our God, Have Mercy” (Lyosky), featured the Russian folk idioms.

WEEK ENDING APRIL 27. 1935 Julian Reported Snubbed in Ethiopia; Talked too Much on First Trip There CHICAGO (ANP)—Associated Press dispatches over the weekend carried the report that Hubert Julian, New York aviator, had been snubbed by Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia, after his arrival at Addis Ababa, the capital. It was stated that the emperor had refused to see the aviator. Other allegations, not directly attributable to the Associated Press, were to the effect that the rebuff to Julian was caused by the feeling of the Ethiopian high caste members, that they are not Negroes and that they had informed the American consul that they did not desire an influx of American Negroes into that country. Julian Snubbed The report, in so far as the re-buff to Julian is concerned, is probably true. There are several reasons for Julian being persona non grata in Ethiopia. Usually, the cause is said to be that he had a mishap in his flying ventures in the Ethiopian capital. But that is only part of the cause. The Associated Negro Press is informed reliably from sources close to the Ethiopian emperor that Haile Selassie's distaste for Julian had more to do with the manner in which Julian has sought to exploit himself and his Ethiopian connections. The emperor was much displeased, on the occasion of Julian's first visit, with the manner in which Julian "talked himself up" whine on the voyage to Ethiopia and the way in which he conducted himself after he arrived there. The Ethiopians frown on ballyhoo. Refused to Talk Proof that Julian knew the exact cause of the emperor's attitude was seen in the fact that when he left the United States a short time ago.

The Rev, Mr. Derricks is pastor of the Zion A.M.E. Church.-A.N.S. Photo. ANGEL CITY HANGING ERROR QUIZ STARTS LOS ANGELES, Calif. (By Fay M. Jackson for A.N.P.)—Appearing before the county grand jury, which has instituted an investigation into the "hurried" hanging of Rush Griffin. 19-year-old Negro murderer, Superior Judge Charles W. Fricke accused Warden James B. Holohan of San Quinten Prison of hanging the boy regardless of the fact that he knew that prison authorities knew that an appeal was pending. "It's a lie," Holohan declared when informed of what Fricke had charged. "The hanging should have been stayed." Judge Fricke declared. "It looks to me as though a slip-up occurred through failure of prison authorities to notify Warden Holohan that an appeal was pending." Judge Fricke said that at the time he sentenced Griffin he had his clerk forward, included in the transcript of the sentence, a statement that an appeal had been taken. The records will show also that the county clerk sent to the warden of the penitentiary the death warrant included in a letter in which the county clerk stated an appeal had been taken, Judge Fricke declared. Griffin and Willie Smith also a Negro, were convicted of the slaying of Lawrence Lyons, graduate medical student of the University of Southern California. Lyons, popular member of one of the most powerful Fraternities on the campus of U.S.C., belonged also to a family of noted university professors. His father had served as a missionary in China. He was killed at Ninth Street and Central Avenue when reportedly drunk and in search of colored prostitutes. Griffin and Smith are said to have objected to his approach. A fight followed. Griffin admitted that he shot Lyon but declared he had acted in self-defense, when the medical student attacked him first. At a quick trial Griffin was sentenced to death and Smith was given life imprisonment. Notice of appeal was filed by both men. Beggars can't be choosers. Colored citizens will get few rights while they fill "the bread lines." AIRCRAFT MASTER HUBERT JULIAN he refused to do any talking whatsoever, other than to say he was going to Ethiopia and hoped to fight for that country. The second story, to the effect that the Ethiopians disown American Negroes and do not wish them in their country, is absolutely untrue. Ethiopians in this country and in Ethiopia claim kinship with the American Negro. Guebra-Kris- er Anniversary STILL'S WORKS TO BE FEATURED AT LECTURE LOS ANGELES. Calif.—Works of, William Grant Still, widely known musical composer, will be featured at a lecture recital to be held Sunday, May 5, at 4 p.m. at the Musart Theatre, here. The affair is sponsored by the education and membership committee of the 12th Street branch of the Y.W.C.A.

CCC ADVISER IS SPEAKER PHILADELPHIA.—Speaking at Pinn Memorial Baptist Church here Sunday morning, Professor Charles Satchell Morris, Jr. United States Educational Adviser for the CCC in Southern New Jersey declared that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was the central fact of human history. to kemla, an Ethiopian living in Brooklyn. N.A., wrote to the New York Times under date of February 26. 1935; Not Abyssinians "I come from the country which Americans call Abyssinian a name given to it by the Moslems which means, in English, mixture; mongrel. We call ourselves Ethiopians, and our land Ethiopia. We are Negroes, the oldest Christian nation, now more than 1.400 years old." As to the desire of Ethiopians for the immigration of United States Negroes, the Associated Negro Press can state with the utmost authority that Ethiopians from the emperor down, not only desire, but are eager for well-trained American Negroes to come to their country. Negroes Welcomed The Associated Negr$_0$ Press has been in direct communication with the Emperor of Ethiopia and knows that arrangements have been completed, with the active cooperation of the emperor, for some Negroes to go to that country. The identity of these persons is not being disclosed because Ethiopia does not desire it and the persons involved do not think it would be wise. But they have accepted the invitation to go to Ethiopia where they may use their training in that country's behalf and they have not enlisted with the idea of making great names for themselves or great fortunes. The Associated Negr$_0$ Press thus divulges this much information of a confidential nature so as to destroy the effect of stories in white dailies which might alienate the sympathies of colored Americans from their blood brothers in east Africa.

Geography with Your Milk THE cow is a lesson in geography. She is rich in local color. She moved in before the wide open spaces became real estate developments. She believed in seeing America first. She is proud of her European ancestry. For generations the Scotch, and the thrifty folk on the channel islands and in the "low countries" have jealously guarded the purity of their native breeds. And here in America the trust is faithfully kept. No strains are bluer blooded than the Ayrshires, Guernseys, Holsteins and Jerseyts to which the milkman regularly looks for his stock in trade. Thanks to the dairyman's active citizenship the cow has been usefully Americanized. Types and blood lines are carefully selected to assure milk of the highest quality. There are no scrubs on the dairyman's team. Folks who speak disparagingly of "herd psychology" don't know the milk business. The cow that makes a first class dairy herd is sure of a place in cowdom's social register.

Lavenstein, attorney for the plaintiff contended that even if his client was guilty of stealing the coal when detected, the offense being a misdemeanor the law did not justify the detective in shooting Thomas. Suit was brought for $1,000 but the jury awarded only $100. Thomas noted an appeal, claiming the verdict should have awarded the full amount asked for.

(ANP)—With a long line of feature roles checked up to his credit since his trip to the film capital, Bill Robinson will be given his best chance in motion pictures thus far when he begins work at Fox studios in "Old Kentucky," according to producer Edward Butcher. "In Old Kentucky" is a fine vehicle for Bill Robinson." Butcher said in an exclusive ANP interview this week. "He not only dances in the inimitable manner that he made history in the art, but he will have a grand chance to really act. He is featured with Will Rogers in the well-known race track story of the old south and begins with the picture and ends with it." Large numbers of Negro film extras will be used in the forthcoming production. Butcher said. The picture will be released early in July. BOARD SANCTIONST.B.TEST FOR SENIORS BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL BOARD NEW DEAL BY HIGH GREEK UNITS LOW PROMISED MAY HIGH RENT OF LOW RENT HOMES MAY HALT PLAN NEW DEAL BY HIGH RENT OF GREEK UNITS LOW RENT HOMES PROMISED MAY HALT PLAN Relief Families Found Unable to Pay Cost of Government Project The problem of what to do with some 600 families in Southwest Washington when they are forced from their so-called slum homes while the government erects a model low-rent housing project, has the housing officials scratching their heads. This is the proposed settlement for 600 families on which Secretary Ickes' Housing Division is prepared to spend $2,487,000 at latest quoted figures, in erecting sanitary brick dwellings that would cost prospective owners from $5 to $10 per room a month. Construction is contingent on the Government's securing title to about five blocks of real estate in the vicinity of the Washington Barracks. The proposed housing site is bounded on the north by M Street, on the south by P Street, east by Half Street and on the west by a section of the old drainage canal extending between First and Second Streets. But it develops on inquiry that several hundred families now residing in dilapidated frame houses and shacks in this area would be unable to pay even the moderate monthly rent the Government would demand for its model homes. Scores of them are now paying $15 a month or less. it was said for homes accommodating eight and ten persons. For families such as these, who comprise at least half of the community, the proposed housing project would fail of its purpose unless they receive substantial Federal aid. Few of them own their homes, it was claimed, and all (Continued on page 32) Education Advisers Sought For CCC Camp Boys The enlargement of the C C C corps is offering new opportunities to well trained young men. Robert J. Fechner and officials of the CCC recently inaugurated the policy of employing Negro educational advisors for the Negro units of the CCC. A score of college trained men are engaged in this work at present, while the great increase in enrollees expected under the stimulus which the enlarged fund makes possible, will offer opportunities to many more. Educational advisors conduct classes for the CCC boys, many of whom have had but little training. In addition they devise and conduct stimulating and interesting diversification for the leisure time of the youths. Interested persons, in this vicinity, may make application. Thomas G.

Over 200 guests were present to pay honor to the founders and national presidents of the various collegiate units. Belford V. Lawson Jr., president of the new council, who served as toastmaster, outlined the program to the organization in the opening speech urging each chapter to be "a reservoir for leaders who, in turn will aid the masses." Hubert T. Delany, Commissioner of Taxes and Assessments of New York City. and Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, former president of the National Medical Association, were the principal speakers. Waring the fraternity men that if they failed to put over a program they would be compromising the right of those who will come after them. Commissioner Delany declared "too long have we been a group of individuals who have been more interested in socializing than in serious problems." Telling the gathering that we must have a planned economic system. Mr. Delany charged that "to let too much wealth concentrate in the hands of a few is wrong." He urged them to make proper use of the ballot. Labor Is Problem Claiming the biggest problem before the American Negro today is labor, Dr. Francis urged the Greeks to exhaust every means until "you have something definite, something concrete." "Be militant in spirits and disseminate this council spirit to all the 48 states," the Newport News, Va., physician declared. Citing the recent decrease of 50 per cent in the wages of FERA workers in his native town, Dr. Francis urged the Greeks to not only stress cultural development but to do a noble thing by making a place for the thousands of unemployed college graduates.

SEVEN DEATHS IN FIRE BLAMED ON POOR HOUSING SEVEN DEATHS IN FIRE BLAMED ON POOR HOUSING Communist Party Demands Public Hearing on Recent Tragedy Flaying the Administration for not investigating the fire disaster of Columbia Road and urging that an immediate Housing program be instituted to eliminate such fire traps, Robert E. Ray white, secretary of the Communist Party, late last week, asked District Commissioners to hold a public hearing to determine the cause of the fire. Part of his statement follows: "The death of five children and two women who were caught in a fire trap at 732 Columbia Road. once again exposes the rotten living conditions of the workers in the Capital. Eight people were sleeping in the two rooms on the third floor—of the eight only one survived. "The responsibility of this tragedy must be placed squarely on the shoulders of the callous and indifferent administration officials who do not condemn these houses. Until these fire traps are condemned, the lives of tens of thousands of workers living in them are in danger. The administration, who is merely the servant of the rich landlords, has ignored the appeals of tenants, and by their silence since the fire have shown their jim-crow lack of interest in the lives of the Negro people. "Housing in Washington. is an old problem repeatedly subject to "investigation" and "reform." The Federal Government leads the way in applying Jim-Crow oppression on the Negro people. The New Deal announced that they were starting an "alley-clearance" program, when it was shown that some 10,000 live in hidden inner-alley slums, but not one alley has been closed as yet and the conditions of hundreds living on the streets, as demonstrated by this disaster. is little better than that of the alley dwellers." WHITE MAN WHO SLAPPED WOMAN SUED FOR $5,000 Mrs. Carrie L. Smith Seeks Damages From Clerk in Grocery Store Claiming that her health has been impaired as a result of a blow on her head by Edward Smith, white, 400 W Street, Northwest, Mrs. Carrie L.

The man was arrested and following a trial before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, was fineed $10 on an assault charge. Mrs. Smith stated that she entered the store to make several purchases and when she asked the man to wrap them all in one bundle he objected and called her a vile name, chased her to the street and slapped her down. Mrs. Smith is represented by Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins. Death of 7 in Fire Brings Statement From First Lady Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the President; stressed the need of fire and health safeguards at a press conference this week.

The house in which the women and children were burned to death has been called a fire trap and citizens are planning to have a row of similar houses in that vicinity condemned.

THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE NIORS NINE TUBERCULAR TESTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ORDERED Night School Closing Set for May 20 by Board of Education Approval of tubercular examination of all senior Washington high school students providing parents agree to the examination was given by the Board of Education at its meeting, Thursday. A total of 777 students—363 at Dunbar; 271 at Armstrong; 123 at Cardozo—will be examined. Proposal that the examination be conducted was made by Dr. George C. Rhuland, new District health officer, whose office will make the examinations for the purpose of ascertaining the number of pupils having tuberculosis infection. The District Tuberculosis Association will finance the examinations. Wants Test For All In approving the tests, members of the board expressed the hope that all parents would agree to the examination. Mrs. Mary A. McNeil, board member, voiced a desire to have the examination include all high school students. Inasmuch as the senior students would graduate in June, some going to college where a compulsory examination would be given and others having a private physician, she said. the first second and third year students would benefit more by the examinations. 2 1/2 Minutes For Test All members of the board expressed hope that the examinations would be broadened in the future. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, declared when pressed for an opinion: "The ideal plan would be to have a thorough physical examination of every child each year." New X-ray equipment will make it possible to make each examination in two and a half minutes. It will consist of a tuberculin skin test, lasting one minute, a tuberculin reading test taking an equal amount of time, and an X-ray examination requiring but half a minute. Night Schools to Close Lack of appropriation funds will necessitate the closing of all District night schools May 20. the board decided. This date is only seven nights shorter than the longest period the evening schools have ever run thus it will not be as damaging to the education of night school students as it was first thought an earlier closing would be.
