Merrill C. Work, secretary of the Unemployment Councils, testified that the girl had been carried to a house of prostitution, conducted by a woman known in vice circles as "Mother Collins," who is also on relief rolls.

At a recent meeting of the Law School faculty, it was deemed ad- visable to award a number of these scholarships before commencement, in order to make it possible for the young people receiving them to make their plans for the follow ing year prior to graduation. Professor William E, Taylor, re- cently appointed acting dean of the school, Professor George E. C. Hayes and Professor Bernard S, Jefferson are serving as a special committee to formulate arrange- ments for the awarding of the scho larships.

HAMPTON, Va.—Four C.I.A.A. records, two track and two field marks, had been shattered into discard as the glorious evening sun set over historic Armstrong Field here Saturday, marking the close of the fourteenth annual Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association track and field championships. Proving an ungenerous host, Hampton Institute's well-balanced track aggregation repulsed the combined attack of a dozen invading teams to win the meet with $47\frac{1}{2}$ points to $331\frac{1}{2}$ for Virginia Union, of Richmond, last year's champions, who placed second. St. Paul N. and I. Institute snderpathers of Lawrenceville, Va., were third with $191\frac{1}{2}$ points, while Howard University placed sixth with 12 points.

Jordan (Morgan) 880-Yd. Run—Theodore Still (Lincoln) A thrilling team battle was waged in the scholastic division between Bordentown Normal School of Bordentown, N.J., and Douglass High School, of Baltimore, with Coach Louis Watson's Jersey lads capturing the victory trophy by the narrow margin of one-half point, the final scoring reading Bordentown, 32; Douglass, $31\frac{1}{2}$ points. Although only fourth in the team scoring, finishing behind Phenix High School of Hampton with 19 points, Armstrong High School tracksters, coached by Duval Evans, took individual honors in the schoolboy class as two strudy Tech athletes. James Harrod, versatile performer, and Kermit (Jabo) Kenner set the only new marks registered in the scholastic division. Kenner, Tech junior, who shattered the existing mark in the 12-pound shotput at Howard last week, continued his onslaught on the records by heaving the iron ball 47 feet $3\%$ inches to erase the old mark held by Dismond of Phenix High. Kenner's new distance is nearly five feet better than Dismond's old mark of 42 feet $10\%$ inches, made at Howard in 1934. The hefty Tech athlete had tossed the shot 47 feet 8 inches in the trials early Saturday morning, but this put was disallowed. He made the record heave on his first toss in the afternoon. Harrod, ace Armstrong sprinter, leaped 21 feet 11 inches to lower the broad-jump standard set by Watkins of Bordentown in 1934 after dividing dash laurels with Archie Lewis of Douglas High School. Harrod's new record bettered the old distance by 1½ inches. His teammate, Freeman was fourth in the broad-jump, with a leap of 20 feet 3% inches. Howard Jones Stars Howard Jones, former Philadelphia high school boy, carrying the colors of Virginia Union University, was the day's standout performer, winning the 220-yard low hurdles, the high jump and pole vault, tying for first place in the 120-yard high hurdles and running No. 2 man on the Union medley relay quartet which captured the collegiate medley relay title in the comparatively slow time of 3 minutes and 40 seconds. In winning the pole vault, Jones soared over the uprights at the dizzy height of 12 feet to clip McGee's mark of 11 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches of one year's duration. Only a few minutes before the Union "one-man track team" had leaped 5 feet 10 inches to take the high jump, and 30 minutes before that he had raced to victory in the 220-yard low hurdles.

Payne, who finished second to Jones at Howard last week, however, received a little consolation when he won the toss and the gold medal. Kerry of Hampton was third in the race. Gladstone Durant, hefty Lincoln University shot-putter, of Atlantic City, heaved the 16-pound shot 42 feet 9% inches for a new record, eclipsing the old mark of 42 feet 6 inches made by Simpson of Morgan last year. The other two new records were established by Hampton athletes. Lipscombe in Dual Win Capt. Eddie Lipscombe of the Pirates, who scored a double victory, winning both the mile and two-mile events broke his own mark in the mile run. The 2,000 spectators rose as one great body to give the lanky Pirate runner a big ovation as he bested a surprise entry, Brown of Clark University, in a thrilling fight down the home-stretch. The expected duel between Lipscombe and Edgar Lee, Virginia Union, failed to materialize as Lee, after setting a terrific pace on the first three laps, dropped back on the final round and came in third. 30 yards behind Lipscombe. At the outset of the race, Brown jumped into the lead, but Lee quickly overtook him at the second turn and led the entire field by 25 yards until the last lap. Lipscombe and Brown ran side by side for the first three laps, then the Clark harrier pulled ahead for a split second. About 150 yards from the tape. Lipscombe, his smooth, powerful stride carrying his lithe body down the stretch in a thrilling burst of speed, outfought the plucky Clark runner to break the tape 12 yards ahead for a new mark. The time, 4 minutes 25.1 seconds, was 2.4 seconds better than the Hampton junior's mark set at Howard last year when Lee forced him into a dramatic finish. Eddie Plummer and Florant of Howard failed to place in the race. With Lee scratched in the two-xun 308 090005dy!

On the eighth lap, Sutler took a MAJOR MUTTER Stick by the oie ship, matey painted, and the water ain't coming have been getting their bumps, tru 'o that....And I guess my strong ting average. It ain't easy to ove MAJOR LEAGUE MUTTERINGS... Stick by the oie ship, mateys, things ain't as bad as they're painted, and the water ain't coming in as fast as it seems... The Nats have been getting their bumps, true, but they ain't quite so bad for all o' that... And I guess my strongest argument is Heine Manush's batting average. It ain't easy to overlook the fact that the slugging left-fielder of the Griffs is slamming the apple below his regular clip... And what with Joe Kuehl, Cecil Travis, Jack Stone and in fact the whole darned crowd with the exception of Buddy Myer swinging much as if they're using pencils instead of regulation willows, the lowly position of the Senators should be explained. But things are gonna look up so help me. Now you just see if that deal which made Buck Newsome, the former Brownie, the property of the Georgia Avenoans and which made Clark Griffith loosen his hammer-lock on some of that 250 grand he collected when he bestowed his uncle-in-law farewell kiss on the brow of Joe Cronin, don't do the trick. Well, the league leaders are here for a 3-day stand beginning this afternoon... And right behind them comes the second place Injuns... So it's sure the right time for things to start looking up. Sutler Threatens STRONG FIELD TO VIE IN SIXTH Y MARATHON Edgar Lee Anticipates No Little Trouble in Sunday Run With the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A.'s sixth annual trans-city run only a few days off, four runners have a good chance to be first across the finish line. Four times has Edgar Lee reigned supreme. On two occasions he has finished with over a four-block margin and met defeat once by reason of going over 100 yards down the wrong street. This year it is different. The finish will be plenty hot. Lee will be threatened seriously by Suttler of Howard University. Cook of Douglass High, Baltimore, and Baden of Annandale, Md. Miner Entered Miner Teachers' College, with Brainard Bellfield. John Ellis and Alfred Patton of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., and James Thomas of the Druid Hill Y, are others who will offer stiff competition. Over 30 runners are expected to compete. Howard University and Sharp Street Community House will enter teams of five or more runners. Douglass High, Silent Fellows Pleasure Club, Druid Hill Avenue Y.M.C.A.. Miner Teachers' College and the Twelfth Street Y will enter representative teams. Novice Medals To stimulate local interest in cross-country running, Dr. Roscoe C. Bown, chairman of the National Negro Health Week Committee, donated three medals to the first three Washington men to finish. The runners and friends will be entertained immediately after the race with a moving picture of the Penn relays, the C.I.A.A. track meet and the 1934 Howard-Hampton game at Hampton. The pictures will be shown in the Y.M.C.A. lounge room, starting at 3:15 p.m. A short health talk will be made.

Still 200 yards from the finish line, Sutler uncorked a sprint that carried him to Lipscombe's side. The two fought doggedly down the stretch with the driving power of the Pirate runner again carrying him to victory by a bare three yards. Sutler fought gamely to the end, falling in the arms of his teammates at the finish. Both Sutler and Lipscombe lapped Saulters of Lincoln on the eighth lap. The time for the jaunt, 2 minutes and 15.4 seconds, was considerably slow. Hampton's now famous one-mile relay team, composed of three (Continued on page 13) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING MAY 25 1935 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune The boss told me yesterday to write something in "Looking 'em Over" for this week's issue of the paper. I don't know even yet what the hell I'm gonna write about but when the boss tells you to do something, you either make an effort or else, especially if it's my boss. I'm gonna start out by saying that my reading public paid me quite a compliment a couple weeks back when he was in town. But I didn't get much of a kick out of it as he told me he liked the colum. He didn't tell the boss. Strange things are happenings these days around the high school stadium. Two games of baseball in a row have been dropped by the Armstrong entry in the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference. Dunbar beat the Generals last week and Douglass took their measure Monday. The good ole days when the Orange and Blue was considerable lord and master of the diamond are gone. Maybe too much of the Techites' time is spent watching their shadows to see how much form they display in their movements. The Tribune sports department is doing a whole lot of backslapping to itself these days. It refused to fall for the gag that Joe Louis had been booked for a local appearance during the current month, thereby sticking to its story that the Detroit Destroyer would put in a theatrical week in New York just prior to entering serious training for the Carrera fight in June. The Tribune stated sometime back that Louis would NOT fight in the East before meeting the Italian in New York. Had Jesse Owens, the Ohio State sprint star, been pushed by some worthy opposition in the quadrangular meet last Saturday in which he broke a national record, equalled another and set two new meet marks, he might have added more laurels to his wreath. In coping the 100-yard dash, the sepian Big Ten star matched Frank Wykoff's (white) time in spite of the fact that his nearest opponent trailed him by seven yards. Then he marched in 10 yards ahead of his nearest opponent in the 220-yard event, bettering by four-fifths of a second despite this easy victory, the mark made by George Simpson, white). also of Ohio State, back in the days of the Simpson-Eddie Tolan feud. Imagine his being just one-tenth of a second off the world record in spite of the fact that he was 10 yards in front of the next fastest man in the race. The Aztec baseball team gives us a very good idea of what can be done with an idea. The Southwest aggregation was in need of uniforms in which to play ball during the current season. There is such little money to be made in the sport in Washington that earning enough in that way is practically out of the question. Some one or more of the Aztec officials stumbled on the idea of capitalizing on the sectional pride of business people in the community. They devised a plan whereby business enterprises in the section could be advertised by carrying the names and slogans on the backs of the suits. Each uniform had a different merchant's advertisement on the back of it. The merchant paid for the advertisement thus given him and in the meantime paid either partly or in full for that player's uniform. The Tribune smells a rat. John H. (Johnnie) Burr, assistant to the acting director of physical education at Howard University was at Virginia State College during the past week-end. Burr stopped over in Petersburg while he was in that section for the C.I.A.A. track and field championships at Hampton Institute. The Etrick school has made no selection of a successor to the late James D. (Sunny Jim) Barnes, former basketball coach and director of physical education. Burr is sensible and being sensible is anxious to advance. Clarence W. Davis, present major-domo of physical education at Howard, still retains the title ACTING head of the department despite the fact that he has been the ACTING head ever since he has been there. Burr is UNDER the ACTING head at Howard. The papers tell us that plans for the proposed tournament to determine the heavyweight boxing champion of the District of Columbia have been abandoned. Considering that in all probability the tournament would be conducted along the same lines that the A.A. U. (Afro-Americans Unwanted) tourneys was handled last winter, the news is welcomed by this pillar. Comes also the news that Natie Brown (white) announces he will stop fighting if he loses his match with Buck Everett (white) slated for Washington in the near future. We wonder should we accept that as a threat or a promise from Natie? At the Furlong Pole News item: "Lynx Eye, owned by Robert Robertson, white, rumped to a two-length victory in the Rockingham Park $5,000 Inaugural Handicap over such hosses as Teralice, Star Porter, Dreel, Dogmata, Carisbrooke, Captain Argo, Hug Again and several other topnotchers at their pet distance, three-quarters of a mile." tory in those races as the same lad who had piloted the hoss's daddy, Gallant Fox to similar victories in 1930...Those who have followed racing know it was Earl Sande, white, who had the mount on the sire of this year's winner. Little Ray Booker, the sensati Can there be any wonder why your "Tout" uses such choice language when speaking of Raymond (Sonny) Workman, white, jockey? Lynx Eye was our choice in the $7,500 closing day Bowie feature this Spring and 'Big Head' had the mount. Considering his romp of Wednesday at the New Hampshire track, Lynx Eye should have led the less celebrated field in the Maryland race home by a country block—especially since the latter was over a distance, which is his forte. But when the barrier was sprung at Bowie the rest of the hosses went stomping down the front stretch while Workman was sitting still on Lynx Eye cussing Starter Milton. Of course the Robertson owned hoss didn't HAVE to win the Maryland race, but your "Tout" and those others who had listened to his touting would at least have had a run for their money. To add insult to injury the thought came back to the writer that the two smackers he'd spent on "Pie Face" and "Lynx Eye" was the sum total of his savings thru the first four races of the afternoon. We notice that some turf writers for dally papers, in order to add human interest to their stories of the Kentucky Derby and Pimlico Preakness, pictured Smokey Saunders, white, who rode Omaha to vie- tory in those races as the same lady who had piloted the hoss's daddy, Gallant Fox to similar victories in 1930.. Those who have followed racing know it was Earl Sande, white, who had the mount on the sire of this year's winner. * * * * Little Ray Booker, the sensation of last year's Charles Town snow- capped meeting is doing quite well by himself on the mile tracks. The diminutive sepian hardboot from Lexington, Va., snatched a victory at Bowie, the only Negro rider to do that during the program recently closed. Going on up to Salem, N. H., where Rockingham Park is located, Booker started right out knocking at the door. He rode an impressive third on Alwintour opening day. . In spite of that opening attack on Sonny Workman, the Washington white boy took the lead in Montee's Jockey Ratings in Turf and Sport Digest as the Maryland racing season closed. Workman, contract rider for the C. V. Whitney stables, headed Wayne Wright, the Idaho sensation and Silvio Coucel. the Bronx Express, Workman closed with a rating of 85. Wright with 84 and Coucel with 83. Check these: LARRY M—This fellow uid a brisk five-eighths through heavy going, being clocked in 1.64. That's faster time than the rest are working. MORDEN—Has rest and can negotiate an off-track, all of which are fine attributes at this stage of the game. Went a half in 51 nicely.

Outhit 2 to 1, the 'Dales nevertheless entered the final frame on the long end of a 5-2 count. A quartet of tallies had been pushed over by the District lads in their half of the eighth after R. Snowden. Sandy Spring pitcher, had blanked them for seven innings, fanning nine in the course of the proceedings. Still another marker had been garnered in their ninth to completely wipe out the two runs earned by the Marylanders in their first two stanzas. Jimmie Price, southpaw ace of the Hillsdale, hurled effectively for eight innings, but was compelled to make way for Roy Powell in the hectic final frame. Brown's mique ended the game. Five successive hits, including singles by each of two pinch-batters, an intentional pass and the big right-fielder's error completely changed the picture. Prior to that time it had looked like the Washington title-holders were going to carry the bacon back home. Dan Hill, Star shortstop, and Barto Black, Dale catcher-captain, were the offensive stars of the day. Hill garnered 4 hits in 6 attempts and Black collected a trio in 4 trips plaited.

Meet NEW YORK, (ANP) - The Frederick Douglass junior high school romped away with first place honors in the Junior High School track meet at Wingate Field in Brooklyn Friday. This is the fourth year in succession that the lads from Harlem have captured the coveted honors. The Oriental Tigers moved into first place by virtue of their dual victory Sunday over the Cardinals, 10-9 and 9-4, while the Rajah-De-Priest and Quicksteps were splitting with the Trojans and Elks, respectively. Harry Jackson had a perfect day for the Orientalis in the opener getting 5 hits out of 5 trips to the rubber. Tramp Norris and Luck, helped greatly in the close victory by getting 3 hits in 5 times at bat. Luck crashed out a homer and a double. Arnett, on the mound for the Redbirds, pitched steady ball after the early innings, while Bus Holmes weakened in the late stages of the game and only iron-clad fielding cut short the rallies of the Redbirds. McBriar tried hard to bring victory home for the Redbirds, getting three hits, a single, double and home run. In the night cap both clubs treated the twirlers, very roughly, but "Dame Luck" favored the Orientalis. Miller tried hard to overcome the lead of the Tigers, by getting two home runs. Harry Hicks had a bad day afield making three miscues. The Rajah-DePriest and Trojans divided a double bill by the scores 5-4 and 15-13. Rob Carter and Gene Addison staged a pitcher battle in the opener. Carter struck out 10 men, while Addison whiffed 7. Henderson, at second for the Warriors, John Randolph, at second, and Gene Johnson, in center for the Twin Clubmen, were bright lights afield in the opener. Freedman won the game when he batted for Pinkney in the ninth by hitting for circuit. The nightcap was a free-hitting affair, both clubs hitting to all corners of the lot. Leroy Barber had a perfect day at bat making 4 hits. The Rajahs made 23 hits off the combined offerings of Williams, Mitchell and Rob Carter, while the warriors made 20 hits off Stroman, Woods and Addison. Every player in the game entered the hit column at least one time. The LeDroit Tigers snatched both ends of their double-header from the Columbia A.C., trimming the west-enders, 18-8 and 9-3. Bobby Hawkins was on the mound for the Tigers in the first game and though touched for seven hits, was able to scatter them over the route. The winners amassed a total of 24 hits off the delivery of Jackson, a 10-run second inning proving the downfall of the losers. Jack Craig faced the Columbians in the 7-inning nightcap. The Jungaleers had three 3-run innings. At Green Valley Park, Va., the Morning Star Elks dropped the opening tilt of their twin affair with the Virginia Quicksteps by a score of 14-6, but came back to grab a hectic nightcap, 11-9. Errors played a major part in the loss of the first game which was charged to Joe Wheeler, former LeDroit and Hillsdale moundsman making his first start with the antlered clan. The Elks pounded two Virginia slabmen, Casey and Boswell, to gain the verdict in the finale.

Track Meet mn HELD 10 SET TWO RECORDS (GEORGETOWN AC| [eee || TWO HITS BY oo Lene OA | Q 3 @ NIPK DITPHED chalked up the final new record in the day’s most thrilling event, the one-mile collegiate relay cham- pionship. The quartet, Antoine, Albert Dunmore, Grier and Mickey Smith, negotiated the distance in the fast time of 3 minutes, 23.5 seconds, clipping the old mark set by @ former Hampton team in 1929. ‘The old record was 3. min- utes, 32.7 seconds. ‘The Pirate team beat off a de- termined threat by Lincoln's four to capture the championship. On the initial lap, Antoine led Lin- coln’s Ward by 2 scant two yards; Dunmore maintained a slight mar- gin over Wooding on the second leg, and Grier and Parker matched stride for stride on the third lap in @ spectacular battle for the lead, the two sprinting in almost a dead heat down the home- stretch. Mickey Smith, Hampton's out- standing quarter-miler, got 2 three-yard advantage at the start as Parker patsed the baton slow- fy to Still, Lion anchor man. Run- ning with a beautiful stride which electrified the crowd, Smith main- tained the advantage all around the oval, then widened the gap by 10 yards at the finish. Williams Wins Century Berry Williams, ace | Bison sprinter, won the century dash in 10.8 seconds, defeating Smith of Hampton, second, and Jeffries and Denny of Hampton and St. Paul, respectively, who finished in a dead heat for third. Barrington Par- ker, Washington lad, who set a record at Howard’ last week, qualified for the finals in the dash but was left in his holes at the start and never threatened Wil- liams’ advantage. Thundering down the lane like @ real “Bison,” Williams, former Armstrong High dashman, breast- ed the tape two yards in front of Hampton's Smith, then continued on down the track to brawl over Freeman Murray, Tribune pho- tographer, who lingered too long on the cinders after snapping the finish. The impact carried Murray to the ground in a heap, while Williams stumbled into the arms of spectators near the track. Apparently badly shaken by the jolf, Williams trailed Singletary of St. Augustine and Smith of Hampton in the 20-yard dash. Singletary. reputed to have run the hundred in 9.8 seconds, was forced out of the 100-yard by Starter Howard Drew in the morn- ing trials after three false starts. He was clocked in 22.6 for the 220. Dash Times Slow The times in both sprints were disappointing to the crowd, as the races appetred to have been run much faster. Singletary was clocked in 21.7 seconds in the 220- yard run in the morning trials, which clipped the old mark. How- ever, meet officials did not recog- ize’ the new record. A. 10-mile wind was blowing throughout the a, heats, r bur Jordan, Morgan quarter- miler, repeated his victory of last year by winning the race in 51 ‘Seconds flat. Smith of Howard won his heat of the race in the morn- ing trials but failed to finish in the money in the finals, Grier, wert Flagg, Union; and Ward, Lincoin, placing in the or- der named behind Jordan. Edgar Lee Third Theodore Still, Lincoln, cap- tured the half-mile event after a three-way battle with Edgar Lee and Brown of Clark. The trio fought it out on the last lap after matching strides for the first three with Still finally pulling away for a five-yard advantage at the tape, Brown in second position and Lee gfining third place honors. Besides Williams’ points in the dash and Sutler’s placement in the two-mile run, Joe Blakemore, oward freshman, gained a second in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 9 inches. Bill Bell’s Claflin University's relay team, the only entry by that school, was fourth in the collegi- Ate one-mile relay championship. Other teams to score were: St. Paul, 19%; Lincoln, 17%; Vir- ginia State, 16; Howard, 12; Mor- gan. 11; Clark, 6; St. Augustine, 5; A. and T. College, 4; Shaw, 3: Claflin, 1.

BEFORE 2,000 Im one of the day's most excit- ing games, the Georgetown Ath- leties, 1933 city champions and runners-up last year, were nosed out by the Aztees A.C., representa- tives of Southwest Washington at Sixth and K Streets, Southeast, last Sunday afternoon. A crowd of nearly 2,000 people was on hand to witness the proceedings. A nip-and-tuck battle from start to finish the Mexicans garnered the decision with two men out in the ninth. A sacrifice fly which scored Dick Clarke from third base was the margin of victory, ‘Teams Stubborn Both teams put up a stubborn battle with each coming from be- hind on no less than two occasions. The first of these was accomplish- ed by the west-enders when they smothered a 2-run lead by pushing over a trio of tallies in their third. The Aztecs matched their efforts, however, counting the same num- ber in their half of the frame. With the lead see-sawing thru out, the two teams went into the last half of the ninth with the count tied at 10-all. This was by virtue of a 2run attack by the west-enders in their half of the in- ning. Clarke led off with a single. went to second on Wynn Harris's sacri- fice and continued to third on an error. It was at this point that W. Tillman sent a long fly to Le- roy Coates in centerfield. Coates’s throw to the plate was a hummer but was just seconds too late to snuff out the winning run brought in by Clarke. Keats is the classic example of the poet who lived and died through sensitiveness. EVANSTON, Ill.—Scoring 20 of his team’s 6944 points, smashing one world’s record, equalling an- other and jarring two meet marks into oblivion, Jesse Owens, Ohio State's candidate to the “fastes: human” ranks, ealled it a day and went on back to his dressing room here last Saturday. The occasion was the annual ee meet between track and field teams of Ohio State, Wis- consin, Chicago and Northwestern universities, held at Dyche Stad- ium, Starting the afternoon's activi- ties by rushing down the straight- away in the scintillating time of 9.4 seconds, Owens matched the world record of Frank Wykoff, white, in the century. From Track to Pit He moved from the cinder path over to the broad-jumping pit- Un- able to concentrate on this event, however, due to the fact that he was called back. between leaps, to the track for the 220-yard event, Owens merely took first place in the efforts. The competition had practically conceded him vietory even before he made his first jump. Although he set no tongues to wagging by breaking the record he himself set several weeks ago, Owens smashed the old meet mark of 23 feet 8 and 5-8 inches. His best was 25 feet and 1-6 inches.

Howard, Belaw are four well known fig- ures in the huge crowd. Charles By ART CARTER Indications that John H. Burr, for 12 years basketball coach and physical education professor at Howard University, will take over the reins of the Physica) Educa: tion Department at Virginia State College next fall were advanced on the collegiate front, early this week. The position at the Petersburg, Virginia, school was left vacant by the sudden and untimely death of Coach James D. (Sunny Jim) Barnes last March. Although no definite agreement for the probable transfer of the Howard court mentor to the Old Dominion State College has beer reached by Mr. Burr and Virginia State College officials, it Was learned from official sources that the Petersburg school has been dickering for the services of Mr. Burr since the death of former Coach Barnes, who also served as head of the Physical Education De- partment. Conferred at State Negotiations between John M. Gandy, president of State, and Mr. Burr reached a climax Friday when the Howard coach conferred with ht at Pettrsburg while enroute to the Hampton track meet. As a re- sult of the conference, it was tearned that the only uncertainty in the Bison coach's transfer is the hesitation on the part of State officials to meet the salary demands of Mr. Burr. Whether the finan cial wants of the Washington coach will be acceded to by State officinls will be decided at a meeting of the college Committee in Charge of Personnel sometime within the next two weeks. At Howard, Mr. Burr admits hav- ing been tendered the position by President Gandy but states that he has not given it serious considera- tion because of the salary offered. “Very Capable Man” In an interview with President Gandy at Petersburg, Va., Sunday. President Gandy stated “Mr. Burr is a very capable man. I think he is one of the best in the C-LA.A and we would like to have him here. However, there are several adjust- ments to be made and there is no certainty now that he will accept the position.” The adjustments spoken of by President Gandy were understood to be the salary demands of Mr- Burr. It is reported that the How- ard mentor won't leave Washington unless the salary offered is in the neighborhood of $3,200 or $3.500. which would be several hundred more than his present pay- If Mr. Burr accepts the position. he would be head of the Physical Education Department and basket ball coach at the Virginia schoo’ Coach Thomas Verdell, foriner ft in: ‘Williams, Mather AC.

Cleo had been playing the piano with a Rhumba Orchestra until this time when Texas Guinan asked her to sing. It was then that she choose as her first selection "River Stay Away From My Door." Great significance is attached to the selection of this song because Cleo being born in Mississippi, has seen the suffering and hardships caused by floods.

Sir Guy Standing, Ann Sheridan, William Frawley, Frank Craven and Dean Jagger depict the principal roles in the cast. The picture shows how this great anti-crime force is able to patrol an entire state efficiently through the use of radio control. The system faces its greatest test when a band of desperadoes, assisted by a man who has spied on the police and has intimate knowledge of the force's workings, begin a series of defiant bank robberies. The gangsters cripple the radio communication in order to carry out a particular daring robbery, but MacMurray, the rookie trooper, traps the gangsters and saves the life of his girl whom they have kidnapped. The picture $i_{s}$ based on true incidents from the annals of the Michigan State Police. "Private Worlds" Claudette Colbert For 6 days only, beginning Friday, Claudette Colbert will be presented in her latest picture "Private Worlds" at the Lincoln Theatre. The story takes place in the strange and dramatic background of a hospital for the insane. Its heroine is a woman doctor who clings to the memory of a sweetheart she lost in the war. She has insight into the mentalills of others but does not realize that this strange attachment is threatening her own mind. Her two professional colleagues are Joel Crea, whom she like and respects, and Charles Boyer, a French doctor whom she instinctively dislikes. The living drama of this little group reaches its climax when McCrea is lured from his wife by the French doctor's sister, Helen Vinson. Joan Bennett, the wife, becomes seriously ill. Then a riot in the hospital started by one of the more dangerous patients endangers all their lives. "Private Worlds" is the first film in which Miss Colbert has appeared since she won the award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the best acting of 1934. DANCER TURNS DOWN RUSSIAN OFFER NEW YORK (ANP)—The question of American dollars, which she can count even if they are "baloney dollars" against Russian rubles, which have little value, even in their own native Soviet land, influenced Betty Martina recently from accepting an offer to appear in the leading cities of the U.S.S.R. "So many colored actors accept these offers without considering the payment they are to receive in return. But I believe the laborer is worthy of his hire and if he is to give a capable performance, he must receive a commensurate pay. Therefore, boiling down Russian rubles into good Old U.S.A. dought leaves a deficit plus two years absence from these shores—which is a touch road to travel, especially for a dancer." And so the question of a Russian tour for the nifty little dancer is all out of the picture for the time being anyhow. By ALVIN E. WHITE "Fats" Waller, one who has risen to radio stardom with leaps and bounds similar to those of Jack Benny, will be the feature at traction at the Howard Theatre for the week beginning tomorrow (Friday).

The hall was beautifully decorated and the soft dim lights made it cozy. Bill Baldwin's Ambassadors beat out the lyrics. Members of the club are: David Hales, Howard Johnson, John Miller, Thomas Matthews, James McCaul, Jack Craven, Thomas View, Emanuel Logan, Milton Baddy and Roland Ueny. ***** FASHION SHOW TOO MUCH Now folks, we will truck on down the cave de Lincoln Colonnade, where we find the St. Luke's Church giving a fashion show. Say, who started this fashion show business anyway? The price was too much for the local boys and girls so they stayed home. D. Harrod fell in the cave along about midnight, asking if he was too late for the show. Some nerve. Saw Felicia Rhone falling in the Colonnade looking very lovely. To Ada Denn: don't feel perplexed because the show was sad, it wasn't your fault. JOLLY CELEBRITIES The Jolly Celebrities are swinging out with their complimentary dance tomorrow (Friday) at the Whitelw hotel. So why not doll yourself up and swing out with them? ```markdown ``` The Murray Casino is open for dates. If you have a small club affair in mind—investigate THE HIGH HATTERS The High Hatter threw a spring dance at the Barksdale Dining Hall (old Thurston's) last Friday evening and the affair proved to be sad. Brook's Brown Buddies furnished the lyrics. Members of the club are, Ruth Gardner, Lucille Lowry, Henrietta Walker, Virginia Talt, Carrie Burton, B. Gardner, Fannie Ramsey and Myrtle Stedmon. On last Friday a swinger was given at 454 M Street, Northwest, which is claimed by all to have been the sad-affair of the week. This affair was given by the Holy Redeemer Church but that didn't stop the boys from breaking it up. There were many hoppers. Joseph Robertson escorted Ethel Robinson home and returned to the hop to swing with someone else...Some nerve...Why did Thelma Robertson leave the dance soon after the writer arrived? --- GERTIE WELLS BEATS OUT RHYTHM FOR YOUNGER SET AS EXECUTIVES LOOK ON With the executives (Mr. Smith and Miss Brooks) sitting in the reviewing stand (bench) members of the younger set swung, stepped, walked and trucked to the music of Gertie Wells and her orchestra. The fashion show, I am sorry to say, was sad. The opinion of the show was revealed in remarks such as these: "Stop the show and give us a break" "Shoot them" "Hookie, bring the hook." These remarks were heard all during the show. During the waltz number the dancers, walked, stepped and trucked on each other's feet. Some scene. Looking in on the dancing we saw Paige Bolden's head above everything else. Farther on, we saw Louise Washington and Warfield doing their numbers. Leon Braxton was seen with his little heart-breaker (Gertie). I saw many students from Armstrong and Cardozo swinging. ... Climaxing the dance were a group of couples consisting of Samuel Bailey, Gwendolyn Points, Nat Dixon, Ruth Coleman, Luke Walts, Thelma McEddy, Donald Steward, Helen Johnson, Harry Davis, Alma Hall, and Thelma Robertson. These couples gave the dance fans their conceptions of the new waltz "Wampus" and the "Joe Bingham." Saw Morris doing his number with his little chick. Say Morris how did you get in anyway? The dance proved to be a financial success. The Red Riding Hood Club is giving a dance on May 29 at the home of Miss Helen Johnson. Better come on down and swing with the crowd. THE GAY NORTHEASTERNERS The Gay Northeasterners formal dance climaxed the the week's social afairs. They gave their dance last Saturday night at the Masonic Temple.

THE DREAMER By William "Billy" Kenny Often as I sit and dream in the soft gloom of my tiny room, My mind wanders back to years, I've never seen amid a garden where roses bloom. And as I slowly dim my eyes with ease I see the summer's light. And hear, too, the soft breeze sigh and hear the hunming birds in their flight. What a wonderful world when I sit and dream and let the time go by, As I sit in the gloom of my tiny room, where thoughts of sorrow die.

The Younger Set Tiny Bradshaw, noted drummer and band leader who recently appeared here with his own band and created a great demand in and about Washington for himself, has broken up with his aggregation and is now the front man for Leo Robinson's Orchestra, a Philadelphia band. Several weeks ago rumors were being circulated about the controversy between Tiny and his band, but it wasn't until this week that the Tribune received the correct information concerning Tiny's whereabouts. Not three years ago Tiny Bradshaw was the star attraction with the Mills Blue Rhythm Band and later left and formed a band of his own. Tiny is now knocking 'em cold in Philly at the Rendezvous Grill with his new song, "Take It Easy, Greasy." It has been rumored that Tiny is booked to appear in most of the large cities and in Europe this coming summer. Whether Tiny is under the same organization that controls the seaboard theatrical world or not, hasn't been learned by the Tribune yet (Tuesday). Principal Says "No" to Dunbar Grad Class: Students Mad at One Another In a recent meeting of the senior class of the Dunbar High School, Walter L. Smith, principal, overlooked the majority vote for the cap and gown idea at graduation exercises this year and said "no" to those in favor. Although the majority of the class voted in favor of the idea, Mr. Smith made it clear that no change would take place unless the class voted in a favorable manner. He further stated he thought the matter had been discussed in the senior classrooms, and the returns from the class votes would be submitted to him. This startled many of the students, as they were expecting to "have it out" in the meeting. A few minutes of open discussion on the matter brought about much opposition for the suit and dress attire. The Dunbar graduation class of 1935 will again receive their diplomas in the usual suit and dress manner; the officers wearing their uniforms. COMMERCIAL PRINTING It is now time to order that.

MERCIAL BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL WHEAT FAILS TO NAME NEGRO ON COMMISSION Bar Association Request to Chief Justice is Ignored By W. HAROLD FLOWERS Smothering the hopes of the Washington Bar Association in its fight to have a Negro named on the District of Columbia Jury Commission, by the recent selection of two white persons to fill vacancies on the commission by the justices of the District Supreme Court, the Washington Bar Association appealed to Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat to instruct the commissions on the statutory prohibition against racial discrimination in jury service. Edward P. Loveett, chairman of a special committee on jury service, wrote Chief Justice Wheat that the failure of the justices to appoint a Negro on the Jury Commission was a stinging disappointment to the Washington Bar Association and to the Negroes of Washington." According to the letter to Chief Justice Wheat. Mr. Lovett stated that the action of the justices was inexplainable, in view of the fact that the Negro constitutes 28 per cent of the total population of the city. Prior to the selection of the commissioners, the special committee interviewed the Chief Justice, and requested that Negroes be placed on the jury commission and also on the newly created committee on Admissions and Grievances. The committee reported that the Chief Justice promised to consider carefully its recommendations. Other members of the special committee headed by Mr. Lovett are Nelson H. Nichols, Jr., and Thurman L. Dodson. The committee was named by the Washington Bar Association in January of this year. The task before the group was to investigate the practice and procedure by which jurors are drawn in the District courts. The paramount objective was to have Negroes represented on the Jury Commission. Upon the creation of the Committee on Admissions and Grievances the special committee of the association requested that three Negroes be named to the newly created committee, following the practice of the Board of Education, also composed of nine members, three of whom are Negroes. In a recent letter to Mr. Lovett, Chief Justice Wheat stated that careful consideration would be given to the matter of appointing Negroes to the new Committee on Admissions and Grievance. The fight being waged against discrimination in jury service in the District is based upon the fact brought out by the Tribune that there are many jury panels on which there are no wholly colored persons. The attention of the justices of the court will be called to any and all practices of discrimination in selecting jurors, according to the members of the social committee of the association. TRIAL BOARD TO HEAR HOFFMAN CHARGES Police Body Subpoenas 3 Northeast Residents for Tuesday Airing Summons to appear before the police trial board in defense of charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the Metropolitan Police Department was served on Policeman John P.

OFFICER CLEARED IN SHOOTING OF COLORED MAN OFFICER CLEARED IN SHOOTING OF COLORED MAN Detective Robert Manning Exonerated for Conti Slaying A coroner's jury investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting to death of Edward S. Conti, 20, 1200 block of Tenth Street, Northwest, exonerated Robert L. Manning, white, precinct detective attached to the Second Pecinct, charged with slaying. Manning returned to duty following the proceedings. Conti died Tuesday at Gadlinger Hospital a little less than two months after he was wounded by Manning as he (Conti), was leaving an apartment by way of a window. The apartment, located in the 1300 block of Fourteenth Street, Northwest, was reported to be the scene of an attempted burglary with Conti as the suspect. The shooting occurred on March 28. Conti was first taken to Freedmen's Hospital where police charged him with housebreaking. He was later removed by Gallinger. The verdict of the cooner's jury decided that Manning had committed justifiable homicide and had fired in the line of duty. 500-MILE RACE GRUELLING TEST OF TIRE SAFETY INDIANAPOLIS. — The sharponed roar of powerful motor cars is heard again at the Indianapolis Speedway, where preparations are now in full swing for the annual racing classic May 10. The cream of America's race drivers are tuning up and testing their cars on the huge brick oval. Tire engineers, working to make tires safer, are already in the pits—headed by J. E. Hale, development chief of the Firestone Company. These engineers obtain facts that are of tremendous importance to motorists. For 36,000 traffic deaths last year, and 7700 wrecks due to blowouts, prove that greater tire safety is America's vital need. As the modern automobile has become more powerful, tire engineers each year have made new improvements in tires, and many of these are based on facts obtained from the Speedway. For instance new rubber compounds and new methods of treating cords with rubber were developed to counteract heat. In fact the most effective means known today for perventing internal friction and heat—the patented gum-dipping process of dipping cord fabric in liquid rubber—proved its advantage at the Speedway. Tire development engineers point out that speeds at the track have gone up each year, yet tire failures—bugaboo of the old days—have become almost a thing of the past. In fact the drivers seldom make even a precautionary change—this can be done without loss of time while a car is being refueled. For the last 15 years the victor has used Firestone tires. These gruelling tests provide Firestone tire engineers with facts not obtainable from any other source, and have contributed in a large measure to making Firestone tires stronger and more durable for the protection of the lives of millions who drive on America's boulevards and highways. Three Jurors Serving on Supreme Court Panel Among the Circuit jurors serving in the present term of the District Supreme Court are George R.

BOARD CHANGES TEACHER RATINGS Group of Teachers and Officers to Set Up Standards The Board of Education approved of a more simplified system of teacher rittings at a special meeting. Wednesday at the Franklin Administration Building. The new system recommended by the Personnel Committee agreed on a scale to be known as "1," "2," "3" and "4." The scale the teachers complained of as being unsatisfactory included "eminently superior," "excellent," "very good," "fair" and "unsatisfactory." The board sought to improve on the present scale following a series of meetings last winter with officers and teachers following a protest that the system did not do the teachers justice. A committee of teachers and officers will be designated to set up the necessary standards for the various groups. Numbers will be used for the designation of the groups because of the expressed dissatisfaction with the present adjectives. The Board deferred action on the principalship at Logan School until the meeting of June 5. At the request of Attorney Charles H. Houston, the Board commended the Personnel Committee for its report.

L. —Please tell me why my friend got married so soon after he left? Ans.: Your friend didn't get married after he left the town you live in. The girl he went to appears to have already been his wife and has been for the last six months but they have been keeping it a secret. He just revealed it recently because they are expecting the stork in August. A. C. —I am somewhat worried about my health and would like a little advice about it? Ans.: The best thing for you to do is to move to a warmer climate where you can get plenty of sunshine, and there wouldn't be a better place than the seashore. In regards to your home, the advisable thing for you to do is to rent it out while you are out of town so you won't fall behind in the payments on it. E. B—Why is my husband so mean to our boy? Ans.: Your husband doesn't intend to be mean to your boy, but he appears to be rather hard to handle and your husband wants to see to it that he is brought up right, since he is your only child. A little more discipline from you too, would prove worth while. S. M.—I want to know whose fault it is for the way my wife has been acting? She seems to have a dislike for me? Ans.: Your wife has waited a mighty long time to begin sowing her wild oats, and at her age she should realize that she is too old to carry on like the younger people do. I advise you to try to make her realize the harm she is doing to herself by drinking so much. She started it just to try to keep up with the younger set, and she should be made to stop it before it is too late. If she'll become interested in something else beside getting drunk, she'll have time to show you that she doesn't have a dislike for you. B. W.—Am I going to have to keep on working myself to death and be denied what I want most of all?

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING MAY 25, 1935 D. C. YOUTH IS COUNCIL HEAD AT 'H' James Washington Elected President on Gamma Tau Ticket Wednesday By the close margin of eight votes, James Washington, 20-year-old Washington youth, was elected to the presidency of the Student Council at the annual general election held at Howard University Wednesday. Washington, a member of the Gamma Tau Fraternity, defeated C. Waldo Scott, representative of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, who received 227 votes. Supporting the Gamma Tau ticket were the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Zeta Phi Beta and Delta Sigma Theta Sororities, while Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi Fraternities and the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority backed the losing candidate. Washington, a Dunbar High School graduate, is a junior at Howard. He has been identified with numerous student activities at the university and recently was one of the speakers on the antiwar demonstration program. Because of his connection with antiwar protest, accusations of radicalism were hurled prior to the election by his opponents, however, they failed to stem the tide of votes. Washington lives at 1236 Columbia Road, Northwest. Another Gamma Named Gilbert Burnfield, also a member of the Gamma Tau Fraternity, was elected editor-in-chief of the Hilltop, student publication, without opposition. Marion Martin defeated Etiennetta Daurool, 235-192, for assistant editor of the Hilltop while William Barnes was chosen business manager of the Hilltop over Joseph M. Johnson. Barnes poled 247 votes to 207 for Johnson. Barnes is a member of the Omega Fraternity while Miss Martin, represents the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Student Council representatives at large elected from the 1936 class were: Frank Reeves, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Lauretta Wallace, Alpha Kappa Alpha. From the class of 1937, James Minor, Omega Psi Phi, and Bennetta Bullock, Alpha Kappa Alpha; were elected. Defeated candidates were Elijah Mason, Flaxie Pinkett, Tancil Butler, James Mitchell and Rob- to work hard the last few years, the happiness you'll have later on will more than repay you for all the things you have missed. Within the next few years, you'll be married and have a child, as well as live in a home of your own with a husband that will love you and make you happy. Mrs. L. J.—Did someone really steal the money from the person I have in mind? Ans.: It appears that there wasn't any guests at your party recently that would be low enough to steal money from their friends. The party who pretended that money was stolen from them knew they were just a wall flower, and pulled that "stunt" just to attract some attention. S. R. D.—Does my husband realize what has been going on? Ans: He most certainly does realize that you have been most untrue to him, but he hasn't said anything to you about it, thinking you would soon realize what a fool you are making of yourself. If you don't quit going with the single man so regularly, one of these days your husband is going to forget he is a gentleman and there certainly is going to be trouble. That goes for the married man also. C. E.—Please tell me what is best for me to do and if I should do what I have in mind? Ans.: The most sensible thing for you to do would be to stay where you are for you would be in for a lot of disappointment and heartaches if you did what you have in mind.Since this is such a personal matter, I believe you would be more satisfied with a private reply.

Register of Wills for the State of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court TWO ANNA HOLMES IS FOUND GUILTY evidence woven around her by the police convinced the jury that none other than this loving daughter was the one to creep into a darken room and batter the brains out of the semi-conscious invalid as she lay on a bed in her room at 746 Nineteenth Street, Northwest. Assistant District Attorney Samuel Beach made most of a statement the police produced and said Anna signed the day after the murder. It was this statement that the government made the most of and was the final straw that will send Anna to prison for the crime of the century. She was indicted for murder in the first degree, but which would have carried the death penalty, but the masterful argument of Attorney Wilson convinced the jury that the slaying was not premeditated. Sought Relief for Both This statement signed by Anna told how she had slaved for her mother and becoming tired of it decided to ease her own burden as well as relieve the mother of pain and sickness. Anna in the statement said she went home on the night of the murder, secured an ax from the yard and struck her mother a blow on the head. The aged woman struggled to another room where the daughter followed and struck three more blows. Then she allegedly tried to wipe away the blood from her hands and rid herself of a bloody coat and stocking and called Mrs. Mary D. Butler, 740 Nineteenth Street, a neighbor. Soon police arrived on the scene and seeing blood on the woman began to question her. On the following day, police said Anna decided to "clear her conscious" by telling all. Says Police Beat Her On the other hand, Anna steadily denied the statement and said it was forced from her by police who beat and threatened to "batter my brains out against the brick wall." The woman did complain of ill treatment by police as an investigation was made by Inspector Burke after he had been told of the alleged beating. Anna admitted signing the alleged confession, but she said she did it when she was in a state of "batteries" from police brutality. She denied reading it and said she constantly protested to police that she did commit the crime. Anna said she came home on the night her mother was killed and on entering the door saw her mother lying on the floor. "I thought she had had one of her spells and stooped over, laid her head on my arm and patted her face. When she failed to rally I ran to Mrs Butler's house and asked her to summon police as my mother was dead." Identifies Ax Anna never batted an eye when she identified the still darkened stained ax when she was faced with it in court. She admitted it belonged at her home, but said she did not know how it happened to be in the kitchen where police sound it behind the back door. She also claimed ownership of the bloody coat, but said it became so when she took her mother's head in her arms in an attempt to administer to her on the night of the slaying. Police said Anna killed her mother to reap the benefit of an insurance policy, but Attorney Wilson showed that this amounted to a mere $100 and was not enough to pay funeral costs. Brutality Denied Officer William B. Satterwhite, of No. 9 Precinct, and Detective Sergeant R. M. Tolson, of the Homeside Squad, were the ones to uncover the damaging chain of evidence which was so skillfully woven around the woman. Both officers denied illtreating Anna while she was in their custody and said she made the confession of her own free will. Several months ago Anna was said to be mentally deficient, but a lunacy commission reported that she was perfectly sane after an examination.

JOHNSON, Prop. failure to secure Singerprints which no doubt were on the ax and other bloody articles in the house and argued that the government's web of evidence did not hold water as there was no motive and all of the testimony proved that Anna was the last person that should have been accused. Friends of the woman and members of her church contributed to her defense fund SPLIT LOOMS IN LOCAL NAACP (Continued from Page 1) and in closing the report charged the branch with being inactive and praised the program initiated by Mrs. McGuire during her 18 months in office. The split in the ranks of the association arrays the members of the executive committee and some of the more conservative members on one side against the younger members on the other. The executive committee is headed by John C. Bruce, chairman. A live discussion over whether the association should finance a damage case in which a colored woman was ejected from a bus in Alexandria consumed most of the meeting. Committee Over Ruled A. S. Pinkett, secretary and member of the executive committee, pointed out that the national office should bear the expense as the case involved an inter-state passenger. the treasury of the branch would be depleted if all debts were paid despite the fact that $2,371.91 has just been realized as a result of the membership drive and a bad precedent would be set as the local office would be flooded with requests to finance suits from nearby towns. Despite the fact that others, including the Rev. Robert W. Brooks and Mr. Bruce opposed the local office taking the case, a vote of the body over ruled the ruling of the executive committee and voted to contribute the sum of $100 to having the case appealed. The case was handled by Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson in the District Supreme Court and a directed verdict was given in favor of the bus company. Attorney Johnson is seeking to have it appealed. Mr. Pinkett also objected to the branch "Opening up its doors" to the number of requests that would no doubt result from this action. Attorney Johnson charged that the branch is not rendering service to the most deserving class of people and said the name should be the National Association for the Advancement of CERTAIN People. Mr. Pinkett stated that Attorney Johnson did not come to the branch for aid until he had lost the case in the lower court and claimed Johnson is not an officer of the branch and is rarely seen at a meeting. To Return Money II— On the suggestion of Mr. Bruce Attorney Johnson said he would return the $100 to the association if the case is finally won. The following committees reported: Welfare.

CHICAGO MAN TO BE SCOTT'S CLERK (Continued from Page 1) and promotion I have reached a point in life towards which I have worked for more than 40 years. Credit to Mitchell "The place has not been reached without the severest struggle on my part and on the part of many friends, but I want you to know that I know you have been the one through whom my appointment was made. "You have stood by me during the long and hard fight. There were many who started with me more than a year ago, but when the fight got hard and looked as if we would lose, they fell by the wayside. You have been constant and have stood by me like a brother. I am frank to tell you that I have never had a friend who worked harder and more effectively than you did in the matter. I want you to know that I give you full credit. Went to President "There were many others, white and colored who helped most materially in bringing about my confirmation, but you are the one who went to the President and to the Attorney General in my behalf after my name had been sent to the White House and returned to the Department of Justice, and saw to it that my name was again sent to the President, and from him to the Senate. No one but you could have accomplished this. "Please permit me to assure you again that I deeply appreciate all you have done for me and shall do my work on the bench in such a way that no one shall have just cause to regret what has been done for me in this the greatest fight of my life."

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING MAY 25, 1935 ALUMNI IRED OVER TALKS AT MEETING Claiming that the National Economic Conference, conducted at Howard University over the weekend under the auspices of the social science division of Howard and the Joint Committee on National Recovery, hited of radicalism and Communism, conservative members of the Howard Alumni Association were in an uproar, protesting the conference late this week. In a newspaper release, Professor Kelly Miller, retired dean and staund member of the alumni group, referred to the conference as "unquestionably Communistic in tone and red in hue." Professor Miller declared: "The participants, for the most part, belonged to the left wing. The voice of no conservative workman was heard. The New Deal was criticized, denounced and condemned in toto. Nothing good was found in it. In fact, nothing good was found in anything of Democracy and existing political, economic and social procedure. The atmosphere was surcharged with a revolutionary spirit." One speaker during the sessions suggested that white and colored workers unite for revolution. Professor Miller leaped to his feet, declaring "It would be suicide for the colored race to join a revolution." The venerable dean heard one of his radical opponents retort, "The revolution is coming, in spite of F. D. Roosevelts and Kelly Millers." Another declared that "without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin." President Mordecal W. Johnson, university head, presided at the aforementioned meeting. However, he maintained a strictly neutral position, raising no questions from the chair and allowing the discussion to proceed uninterrupted. Called at his office Thursday morning for a statement, the Tribune was informed President Johnson was ill and couldn't speak to anyone. At the annual meeting of the alumni association June 1, a general discussion of the conference is expected to flare up. WORKERS BLAME RACE'S PLIGHT WORKERS BLAME RACE'S PLIGHT (Continued from page 1) Randolph, which was read by Mr. McLaren, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porter. No New Problem Ira De As Reid, in discussing these papers, said the depression had introduced no new problem as far as the Negro is concerned, and "when a minority group has to find a way out, it finds a way out." He added that the only way to stop exploitation was to outsmart the exploiters. Both men touched on the exploitation of Negro labor by the Negro intellectual. Miss Olive Stone, white, of the University of North Carolina, gave as some of the factors responsible for the present economic position of the Negro farmer: history, geography, occupation, race, class and mechanization. She said that 80 per cent of all the Negroes in the United States live in the South, and 97 per cent of those in the South live on farms. Ninety per cent of these are sharecroppers and workers. Nearly all of these farms are heavily mortgaged, and the mortgages in the hands of banks and other agencies. Lose Lands "On a single day in February," said Miss Stone, "40,000 farms were sold for delinquent taxes, and Senator Harrison, speaking in Congress, said what happened in Mississippi on a single day is taking place on a more gradual scale all over the South." J. Campoet, white, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said the government was trying to alleviate the situation through the Rural Rehabilitation Division by the establishment of work centers and community programs. Gardner Jackson, white, formerly of the A.A.A., who claimed that he was thrown out of that department during the "purging" process, said that only about three of every thousand sharecroppers and tenant farmers ever see their rent and parity check, which sometimes have as high as eleven-signatures on them. Accuses Uncle Sam Mr. James Allen, white, Communist, in discussing these papers, accused the Federal Government of becoming the chief and only holder of farm mortgages in the country, and suggested as a solution to the problem, the destruction of the plantation and the share cropping systems, and the unionization of the workers. The Policies of the Subsistence Homestead Division on the Negro was read by Robert Strauss, white, director of the division. He admitted that in the present economic crisis, it was a race between evolution and revolution, and that "we are learning all the time."

WEEK ENDING MAY 25, 1935 Judge Scott We shall one and all be pleased if a member of the race is named by the President to some high office never before filled by a citizen of color, but from one viewpoint, however exalted such new office may be, the appointment cannot possibly give more satisfaction to our group than the selection and confirmation of the Hon. Armond W. Scott as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. The nomination made some months ago followed the regular procedure. An attorney of many years' successful practice, a citizen of character and high standing, devoted and active in community service, with a party record unquestioned and highly commended by the administration's political leaders, there would seem to have been no reason for serious objection or delay in his confirmation. Nevertheless, almost instant with the sending of his name to the Senate, there was launched a well organized campaign in opposition, persistent and so bitter that the President thought it best to withdraw Mr. Scott's name. Thus emboldened and mistakenly confident of success the opposition mobilized on two fronts—separate, yet in reality the same. An association of white lawyers openly hostile and blatantly vocal, continued their fight on nim. This association indicted Judge Scott as being without proper legal attainments and lacking judicial temperament—moreover, the fearsome accusation was made that he "did not like white men" The Negro opposition no less hostile but (cowardly) less vocal, aside from endorsing their candidates, confined their efforts to giving covert assistance to the white group. The real importance of the appointment is the fact that President Roosevelt withstood the clamor, and despite the opposition of black and white traducers stood by the appointment, and Judge Scott was confirmed. Time was when to charge a Negro aspirant for office with lack of "Uncle Tom" deference to white men was fatal to his aspiration. A Republican President once adopted a fixed policy that he would appoint no Negro when local white people objected." That another Roosevelt now takes a directly opposite course is food for thought and matter for glad rejoicing. To Judge Scott *The Tribune* again sends greetings, confident that he will fairly, without fear or favor, discharge the duties of his high office, but that as a man he will not now or ever "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning:" Quite a few are figuring over-time to find a way to get some of the $4,800,000 without working for it. Should Be Consistent Since colored case workers are not permitted to investigate white persons, a delegation of ministers pointed out to the District Commissioners last week that the commissioners should be consistent and prohibit white workers from visiting colored homes. The clergymen also stressed the fact that since jim-crow is forced on us we ought to have a complete jim-crow or all-Negro setup at Banneker Center similar to the public school system. Every employee at the center from the supervisor down should be colored, the commissioners were told. No Negroes are employed in the upper salary brackets in the relief administration here although 70 per cent of the relief clients are colored. However, there are a few Negroes in the lower salary brackets working with white persons. The whites complain only when they are in danger of losing their jobs. They do not object to this close association with Negroes which goes to prove that white persons merely twist the color question to suit their convenience. Police Court Judge The Tribune fails to see why the Municipal Court should be the only court here in which a Negro judge may preside. A recent survey made by this paper disclosed that more than 75 per cent of the cases tried in the police court are colored. So why not a colored judge in this court? There are several capable lawyers here who are qualified to preside in this court, and since two are to be appointed in the near future, one should be of the group which furnishes three-fourths of the cases. If the New Deal means anything like a square deal a Negro should be named to the bench. De-Segregation When this nation with or without law, segregates the Negro it belies the fundamental principle of Democracy. But this is the white man's burden, albeit, the Negro bears the heaviest brunt. Dr. Benjamin Stolberg in a striking contribution to "The Nation" of May 15th, boldly declares "our first duty is to fight for the complete economic, social and spiritual de-segregation of the American Negro." These are fine words inspired by a noble purpose. Dr Stolberg is a Jew and belongs to a minority group whose circumscriptions is somewhat similar, though infinitely less galling, than that of the Negro. He indulges in the counsel of perfection with no means of putting his counsel into effect. He might as well advise the Germans that their first duty is to de-segregate the Jew. This counsel would but make the "Hitterites" laugh. From the beginning of the segregation movement until now, the Negro has been the helpless victim with little more resistive power than the Jew had against the Ghetto in former days. The dominant white group, consciously or unconsciously, came to the mind that segregation should be the policy of dealing with the Negro in matters of social or semi-social relationship. This attitude is all but universal with but a few daring individual exceptions. NEGRO IS HELPLESS NEGRO IS HELPLESS RECIPIENT OF ILL. TREATMENT The Negro is merely the recipient with little or no power to determining or resist the nature of the treatment which he is to receive. In this respect he is beifted precisely as the Jew in Germany under the imperial decree of Hitler. All Negroes want de-segregation as described by Stolberg but are painfully conscious of their feeble resistive capacity against the behest of Nordic prejudice. Some Negroes of the more cautious or conservative temper, have sought to make a virtual necessity and have advocated the acceptance of segregation as the only practical method of racial adjustment under the prevailing circumstances. This is but a modern instance of the fox nouncing the too high-hanging grapes as sour. If the race must needs worship in separate churches, why not regard such churches as the ideal place to develop and practice the beauty of holiness? Theoretically, the Negro has denounced segregation from its incipiency with a bitter, though impotent, denunciation. The late William Monroe Trotter, the uncompromising champion of Negro equality, nailed to his mast the motto, "Segregation for Colored is the Real Permanent Damning Degradation in the U.S.A.—Fight It." He lived, fought and died under the inspiration of this standard. $2,000,000 WOULD BE USELESS IF HAD BY N.A.A.C.P. The N.A.A.C.P. for a number of years devoted its chief energies against segregation and won a signal victory in the Supreme Court of the United States. Flushed with this legal victory, and with an optimism born of zeal rather than dispassionate understanding, this militant organization declared that if given two million dollars it would destroy segregation completely. Possessing what I regarded as a clearer understanding of the deepest forces which lay behind segregation. I at the time declared that this objective could not be accomplished with ten million or even a hundred million dollars. My judgement proved to be the wiser as revealed by subsequent events. All of the commendable efforts put forth have not made a single deep dent in the side of segregation. The N.A.A.C.P. has desisted from its dramatic opposition and turned its energies into combatting other forms of race prejudice. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois who did more than any other single agency in creating the spirit upon which the N.A.A.C.P. was founded, has at last convinced himself of the hopelessness of the fight and now would sensibly utilize segregation since he finds he cannot destroy it. After forty years of strentuous endeavor he has given up the quest for the absolute and now more immediate and practical aim But neither the N.A.A.C.P. nor Dr. DuBois, nor myself, nor even the Negroes of more timid temperament can ever surrender to segregation in its principle. The lambs segregate themselves from the wolves by a cautionary and salutary instinct. COMMUNISTS—THOUGH MILITANT ARE IMPOTENT The Communist, as a militant but impotent minority, are dramatizing the evils of segregation in order to win the Negro to their support. But if by any bad chance this radical minority should find itself in a controlling position, what assurance is there that it would or could assuage the rancor of race prejudice? All honors go to Dr. Stolberg for his noble declaration as to de-segregation of the Negro. This appeal, however, if it is to be of any effectiveness whatever, must be directed to the white race which is in the controlling position. The Negro hears these things gladly but powerlessly. It is ideally self-evident that if Democracy is ever to come to the fulfillment of its high pretensions, every vestige of segregation on account of creed, color or race must be done away with. When this nation with or without law, segregates the Negro it belies the fundamental principle of Democracy. But this is the white man's burden, albeit, the Negro bears the heaviest brunt. Mr. Stolberg advises the American people that unless they desegregate the Negro he will become a counter-revolutionary force in the class struggle with which America is threatened. Herein Mr. Stolberg gives away the secret of the Communist who is so solicitous of the Negro's welfare THINK IT OVER The last World War created 22,000 millionaires. Lynching is not a necessity, as the South Carolina Senator says it is. The radio gets over to us more foolishness than we knew of. A vote in the ballot box is worth twenty-five just promised. There are many who stand waiting, they never go after it. It is never too late to mend, if once one can see the danger of his sinking lower. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING MAY 25.1935 Are Negro Leaders Lazy? By S. B. WALLACE To men and women who are vitally interested in the progress of the race, our present plight ought to be a gripping study. All of the patent nostrums that were heralded as a sure cure for our ills a few years ago, industrial education, higher education, thrift, culture, have failed to bring us into our Utopia. I suppose many of our men and women of acute minds will do much laboratory work to find out just what is the matter with our race and to isolate the germ that causes the trouble. That the patient is sick, only a few dreamers will gainay. I think that the trouble may be traced directly to lack of physical exercise, in other words, to the downright laziness of leaders in every phase of our racial life. Not Too Busy to Imitate the Whites It was my privilege to attend a meeting of a group of Negro men who were expected to lead the local Boy Scout movement. A very fine business man was asked to head a certain phase of the work. He pleaded that he was too busy to undertake it. When the Scout executive began to unfold the varied activities of a white business man who was present and who gave large time to Scout work, our friend was hardly as busy as he thought himself. Leaders Take Themselves Entirely Too Seriously Leaders in all kinds of work among colored people take themselves far too seriously. It would be assumed that Dr. Channing H. Tobias, head of the Y.M.C.A. work for Negroes, trustee of Paine College, trustee of Howard University, would be too busy to do a single thing more, yet he finds time to give part of his ability to the Commission on Race Relations. Many of our bishops can hardly find time to visit their work except at convocation, or district or annual conference time, and few of them can find the time to move on the work to which they have been assigned. Pastors can find time to do everything under the sun but visit and shepherd the people who pay them their salaries. Preachers Have Foot-Mouth Disease George C. Parker, the lamented editor of "The Christian Index," once said. "Many of our preachers have the foot and mouth disease. They won't visit and they can't preach." Most teachers do but few works of supererogation. Their slogan seems to be, "My business is to teach and yours is to learn. I'm going to do my teaching, and if you do not learn, it's no fault of mine," as though there can never be any teaching without learning. The teacher who would visit the homes of her pupils and get an acquaintance and sympathetic understanding, is a fossil of the distant past. Negro business men are lazy, too lazy to clean up and spunk up against the tide of business progress. Many of them can never seem to meet competition in prices and equality. It takes hard work to do it. All along the line of our business, professional and home-life, the germ of all our troubles is laziness, pure and simple. Neighborhood Deterioration Due to Laziness A whole neighborhood deteriorates when Negroes move in because of laziness. We seem not to realize that genius is almost 100 per cent hard work. We are dreaming of things that we expect to come to the race, nothing under the sun will bring them but hard, back-breaking, sweat-producting work. If we could get one-half of the men and women who are small or large leaders in our religious and secular life to give their jobs and the people they serve eight hours of hard, consistent work, six days in the week for the next ten years, they would find themselves bigger and better men and women, and the race problem would be far on the road to a happy solution.

Cardozo type classing wants Board of Education to return teacher. To the Editor: I have been a constant student in night schools in the City of Washington for a good many years. I must say, the Cardozo Night School has the most efficient teachers to be found anywhere on the globe, particularly Mrs. Irene C. Malvan. I have studied under the instruction of Mrs. Malvan for some time. I have found her to be one of the most proficient teachers to be found in night school anywhere. She is an expert typist. There is nothing about the machine which Mrs. Malvan does not understand; she can take the typewriter apart, set it up again. I wish for her the most prosperous vacation that she has ever had. Moreover. I further wish that the Board of Education will see fit to send her to us in the fall of 1935, in that same fine spirit in which she greeted the class with each night. We the class of Typing Five want her back. M. A. O. Walter White says Anti-Lynching Bill is not dead. To make renewed fight. May I take this means of expressing to you the hearty thanks of the N.A.A.C.P. in the fight for passage of the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill? Without a single exception there has been unstinted and generous support by the press; without such support the fight could never have been made so effective as it has become. We are very grateful to you and your readers. May I also tak this occasion to correct a misunderstanding which some people have regarding the present status of the bill? Passage of a motion to adjourn on May I does not mean that the bill is dead—it simply means that the bill lost its position as the pending business of the Senate. The Costigan-Wagner Bill is still on the Senate calendar, and the motion to consider it may be renewed by its sponsors upon the completion of debate upon any bill which may come before the Congress between now and adjournment. I wish to assure your readers that this will be done, and if we can continue to have your support, as I know we shall, even more will be heard about the Costigan-Wagner Bill in the future than in the past. We have just begun the fight! WALTER WHITE. Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People STAID BUSINESS COLLECTIONS MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF SOLICITED GAMBLING. NUMBERS VICTIM VICE NUMBERS BARON THE UNDERWARD Into the VORTEX of vice and crime goes the earnings of hardworking members of the race, which if used to maintain legitimate Negro business would give thousands of colored girls and boys employment, thus solving to some degree economic problems which so sorely beset the race today.

They voted Long's charges down in the Senate. That was mere party strategy to whitewash Farley, to try to embarrass Long and other rebels, and to protect Roosevelt and his administration. The charges, serious charges, of malfeasance in office, made by Long against Farley, should have been investigated. Long is a member of the United States Senate; and what is more per-warrent, he is a citizen of the United States. Farley is but the occupant of an appointive office—a creature of politics and of power. With this senate white-wash, it is reported, Farley will soon resign. He had better make it very soon, for white-wash does not last. When the rains fall and the white-wash run off a dirty post, it looks just as dirty, and a bit messier than formerly. They cannot keep Farley clean; they had better throw him out. Even so, he will be an unwelcome ghost in the next campaign. The "Trigger-Man" Jim has been called the President's "Trigger-man," the fellow who does the shooting when the Gang Chief gives the word. Evidently there are some partisan tasks which must be done, to preserve partisan interests, but which are too unclean for Presidential hands. Jim Farley's post and training fitted him well for doing the dirty work: such as killing of honest critics and opponents of the New Deal, and elevating partisan—pure but underserving Democrats and administration tools to places of power. Anybody may have his own opinion of the truth of Huey Long's charges that the Postmaster General is guilty of corrupt practices in letting out government contracts for building post offices and other government structures. We have our opinion. And now the trigger-man is to be made "the fall guy," who will "take the rap" for the entire administration, so they think. But many voters will think otherwise in November 1936. Farley is a fair sample of the whole lot. Personally, we have no sins to answer for because of the Roosevelt administration: we said in 1932 before the election and after the election, that Roosevelt and the gang he would take into office would be the last crowd we should choose for the salvation of these United States, even then we could not like Herbert Hoover and his fat-heads. We have found no reasons to change our mind. BOOKS "Making Religious Education Effective," a text book written by Professor John Dillingham, head of the Social Science Department of A. and I.

Even Dunbar could not complain to be so bracketed, even unto forgetfulness: DUNBAR—SIC GLORIA By Alan Clinton Through some strang promptings, God endowed. The Poet toils in storm and stress To paint in colors, doomed to fade. Dim pixtures on his own white shroud Whose outlines, vague and featureless. Are framed too soon by earth and spade. They raise him fanes of mortal stones. They blaze his name across the sky. To make a fetish of that name, Or do bribe his consciousness: Dunbar, Shelley, Keats and Poe— Their dust is now the rabble's shrine, Who loud acclaims the deathless band, Yet let them die as beggars go. In rags more wretched than yours or mine— World, world, you will not understand! Only to poets have the gods given the insight to interpret such flashing transitions as Mr. Fisher portrays here. Our poet is a New Yorker: LADY OF THE VILLAGE By Mark Fisher While walking through a village street, Came a lady up to me With eyes so tragic in defeat Selling bits of poetry. "Buy a poem? Buy a poem?" Sang her kind, sonorous voice; "Buy a poem, a lovely poem?" Crooned it high above the noise. I hought a poem quite unfit To match the soaring overtones Gushing from her, bit by bit, Into the marrow of my bones. What a bitter cup she sips. Selling poetry all night long. While the words that leave her lips Merge into a sweeter song! To our knowledge, only Mr. Cullen seems partial to this felicitous and rigid French form. But the Triolet was the select vehicle to carry the amorous burdens of the Troubadours, those romantic lovers of old France; but when exceptionally wrought, $a_3$ in the present instance, it ought to be oftener used by the moderns: TRIOLET By Carroll Dixon But how could I feel Life's lethal stings With a golden girl for an anti- dote? Even Life's tears seemed, lovely things; But how could I feel Life's lethal stings? Now the death-moth hums on channel wings To teach what the wise should know by rote; But how could I feel Life's lethal stings With a golden girl for an anti- dote?

Result: The race suffers to an untold extent, both in finance and in social regard from other racial groups. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY Government employees will be especially interested to know that the House Civil Service Committee, of which Congressman Ramspeck is chairman, went into executive session yesterday (Wednesday) to give the annual leave bill its final overhauling before releasing it into the legislative hopper. It seems quite probable that the bill will be favorably reported in the early part of next week. Up to the present time very little, if any, opposition has developed as the result of the masterful presentation of the leave question by the American Federation of Government Employees. The budget director, Bell, while not openly opposing the leave/bill, which would provide for 30 days annual leave indefinitely cumulative with compensatory leave for overtime; the other for 15 days sick leave, also indefinitely cumulative, with the privilege of granting 30 days in advance in emergencies, has suggested to the Civil Service Committee jumping both sick and annual leave as a 30-day proposition. The committee has jinked this suggestion. With the House Civil Service Committee coming to life again, it seems likely that other legislations which Government employees are especially interested in will be reported out of the committee shortly, such as the Sirovich omnibus bill, which is designed to overhaul the entire Federal service and also carries the all-important retirement provision. In fact, the Sirovich omnibus bill is so broad in its scope that the Ramspeck leave bill became a logical emergency legislative step toward assuring Government employees the return of the annual leave which was taken from them, since the omnibus bill seemed inextricably caught in the legislative jam beyond all chance of rescue. However. Government employees may reasonably expect the return of the 30-day annual leave, with the provision of cumulative leave up to 120 days and a modification of Section 213 fixing the maximum aggregate salary that husband and wife may receive from the Federal Government. **** It is customary around the first of May for all Federal employees throughout the various departments and independent establishments to be given the opportunity of contributing small amounts to the Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Day Corporation, toward the general fund to be used for the decoration of the soldier dead in commemoration of Memorial Day, May 30. The Confederate Veterans' Association has also been accorded a similar privilege to take care of the decoration of their dead in connection with their memorial services, a few days after the Grand Army of the Republic and other veteran organizations have held their services at Arlington on May 30. This year a most unusual thing has occurred in the Department of Commerce: the solicitation from the Confederate Veterans' Association, composed of former traitors and those who sought to destroy the Union, was given priority of several days over that of the Grand Army of the Republic, which has heretofore been given precedence. Perhaps Secretary Roper of South Carolina has an explanation. ```markdown ``` Miss Marguerite Young, white, the brilliant young Washington correspondent of the Daily Worker, national organ of the Communist party of the United States, has given us an interesting, thought provoking and comprehensive article in a recent issue of New Masses, entitled, "Washington, Jim-Crow Capital of the United States." While the article is well written, it contains some decidedly inaccurate statements. For example, the author accuses G. Edgar Brown, formerly of FERA but now with CCC, of being a "truckler," while, as a matter of fact, Brown has proved himself to be one of the most militant and intellectually honest leaders of his group and in no wise deserves the criticism leveled at him in this article. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, President of Howard University and Dr. Abram Harris who have lent their moral support toward the propagation of liberal thought and actions among students on the campus, also were subjected to unwarranted attacks in this article. This writer believes that the Communists can ill afford to unnecessarily antagonize liberal-minded leaders of the Negro groups by unethical journalistic tactics. ***** President Roosevelt took the unprecedented action of personally appearing before a joint session of Congress and delivering his message vetoing the Patman bonus bill. While we have long admired the President's great courage, and we believe that he now enjoys the greatest popularity of any President and that he will undoubtedly be reelected, yet we cannot help but recall the painful silence at the other end of the avenue during the terrific fight in the Senate over the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, which was temporarily sidetracked by the filibuster Senators from the "Bible Belt" who are strong on state rights but short on human rights. If the President had thrown into this terrific struggle his great courage, undoubtedly there would have been a different story. However, there was certain "must" legislation which had to be disposed of first. After this is out of the way, we think there will be an entirely different attitude toward the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill from the other end of the avenue. Finally, let it be said and understood by all that legislation curbing mob-violence throughout the United States, which has taken more than five thousand lives since 1889, should be given precedence over all other legislation. Poets' Corner A FRIEND Oh, that some little word that I could speak Would find its way to some dark life And make that life brighter. I would that some heavenly song that I may sing Might find itself in the depths Of some heavy heart, And make that heart much lighter.

That lovely bunch of young women whose homes dot the land from "Philly" to Massachusetts. They meet for a jolly weekend once a year, and the Capital caught 'em this time. Next year it may be New York or some other gray resort. Saturday night the Masonic Temple was the scene of their formal dance when three hundred guests gathered to welcome the visitors. On Sunday at 2 p.m. the club held its business session at the home of Mrs. Martin, 1804 New Hampshire Avenue. Miss Rose Montgomery, of Washington, was elected president. Mrs. Phyllis Taylor Berry, of Philadelphia, vice president and Mrs. Edith Scott Chaney, of New York, secretary-treasurer. One of the loveliest Philadelphia members is Miss Edna Hazelwood. Others from the "City of Brotherly Love" were Mrs. Lela Worrick Jones, Mrs. Marion Turner Stubbs, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins Amonetti, Mrs. Barbara Mathias Abele, and Misses Marion Gandy and Mary White From New York, besides Mrs. Edith Scott Chaney were Mrs. Florence Cooke Dixon and Mrs. Ata Caffey. One of Washington's most popular contributions to the membership of the club is Miss LaVerne Gregory. The Gay Northeasterners "came; they saw; they conquered" Washington. Now they are back in their homes again with a past of our hearts tucked deep in their breasts. ```markdown ``` No wonder the scores at pretty Mrs. Mateel Mackey's bridge party last Saturday night were so very low. (Even Miss Violetta Beldon of 43 R Street, walked away with a prize and she's considered one of Washington's champion boozy-prize-winners). Mrs. Mackey made one mistake. She sat her guests down to play in her attractive home at 1229 Park Road and forget to take from the walls all those handsome pictures that were painted by her husband. Result: Eight pretty pairs of eyes pinned to the walls leaving not one little eye to watch the clubs and spades. Among the guests at the party were Mrs. Lewis K. Downing of Fourth Street and her sister, Miss Chisum, Mrs. Ingersoll Johnson Mrs. Joseph Bentley, Mrs. Arminta Dixon and Miss Clotilde Barnett. Guest prizes were wox by Mrs. Lewis K. Downing and Miss Chisum. ***** There's a happy "How are you, Harriet" atmosphere prevailing among the smart younger set of Anacostia. And it's all because Tuskegee's "Campus Sweetheart" (Miss Harriet Mitchell) has put her books aside and is now on her way back from Alabama. Even "Phyllis Wheatley" herself (effectively portrayed by Miss Lotha Wright) peeped in at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.'s 30th birthday party last Monday night just to find out what good "we moderns" are doing with the institution that bears her name. --- You can't really blame the Atlanta University Club for getting all agog over its final meeting of the season. It's going to be at the pretty home of the Ollie M. McDonalds. The newspaper business is going to pick up, and here's why. Among the thirty or more persons making up the class in practical journalism now being conducted by the Washington Tribune, is the popular, much-traveled Mr. R. E. Williams, of 1542 Third Street, North west. **** See what the mean old members of the Bar Association did. They called off the banquet that was scheduled for last Friday night. And now their wives and "Girl Friends" and so forth are fussing because they didn't get a chance to wear the brand new gowns that some of 'em did without dinners to buy. **** He looks like "Cab" (Calloway); his best friends call him "Cab"; his biggest ambition is just to be a "Cab." Here's hoping he gets his wish. He directed the Santa Rosa Orchestra the other night at a dance on Vermont Avenue, and it is said that echoes of the rhythmic strains are still following the guests around. E.S.P. is his name.) ```markdown ``` Mrs. Lua Cox, well-known teacher, of 2207 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, is going to wake up one morning this week and find herself in Alabama. And the reason is this. One little invitation printed on plain white paper with two tiny cards tucked inside the envelope has just come from Huntsville, Alabama. The teacher's tall, twin sons, Mark and Thomas Cox are graduating from the Academic Department of the Oakwood Junior College, and so (for Mrs. Cox all roads lead to Huntsville. It may be the pretty pauses that punctuate his phrases and clauses. It may be his smile, or the way he uses his hand in ever so eloquent gesture. At any rate, when you listen to a sermon by the Rev. Howard Thurman, there is an indescribably different something that catches your heart strings and holds 'em. Here comes the old calendar 1 bringing in June and school-closing time. (Which of course is fine for a lot of boys and girls but sad for the hundreds of us, who have been hearing the Miner Teachers’ College Glee Club.) Miss Marie James, the director, Messrs. James Lee, Mansfield Neal and Miss Sylvia Mayo, soloists and all the rest of the club whose voices rang out to the tune of “Meditation Hymn.” “Matona — Lonely Maiden,” and “Sanctus” at the Y.W.C.A. last Sunday afternoon will soon be going their separate ways. And if we want any singing done well we have to do it ourselves. And then the “Cops” will probably get us for breaking the neighbors peace.

Critics declare that Mme.

Milk at Home and Abroad PUBLIC MILK sold for local consumption must comply with local health requirements. It must be produced locally. Milk in excess of the community's fluid requirements is used for making by-products—butter, cheese, ice cream, milk powder, and the like. It is in considerable part shipped out of its home territory and competes in its finished forms in distant markets. Because it must take its chances on strange ground, the price the milkman pays for it is not based on local supply, or on the cost of technical control required to meet local health regulations. The going price which the milkman can get for his by-products in a remote market determines the figure he can pay the local dairman. Under the "classified plan," the milkman pays and the producer gets the best prices which can be paid for the use to which the milk is finally put. What the public wants—and the quantity in which it wants it—is the decisive arbiter of price in bottle and in by-product. Henry M.

The fifth and deciding match, made necessary by the Washington victory Saturday night, will be played in June on neutral ground, at Highland Beach. The two teams, representative of the Nicholson Card Club of Baltimore and the Club Thirteen of Washington have been engaged in an inter-city series which started last October, and has progressed throughout the year. Gets Early Lead Playing with their backs to the wall, as a defeat on Saturday night would have given the series to Baltimore, the Washington team swept into an early lead on the first round, piling up a margin of 2,570 points, due largely to three consecutive, small slams, bid and made, by the Lawrence Bradley-Victor Daly combination. The two Baltimore pairs which played these same hands failed to bid these three slams, and the result was disastrous to them. With this tremendous first round lead, the Capital City team from then on played a close, defensive game, satisfied to hold the advantage which they had. The second round was even, neither side gaining a single point. The third round netted Baltimore a plus of 200 points, shaving the Washington lead to 2370 points, the final margin of victory.

Two years ago the Usher Board of the church installed a modern: amplify- ing set so that the services in the main auditorium could “be sent to the overflow audience seated in the lower auditorium. Although the main auditorium seats more than 1,500 people. in the course of a year, 7.200 persons were forced to worship downstairs. The overflow is counted each, Sun- day and runs between 100 and 700 worshippers, depending upon weather conditions. However, tn Mother's Day, through arrangement with the Telephone Co., an underground cable was laid which enabled the services to be extended to the Stod- dard Baptist Old Folks Home which is more than a mile away from the church. On’ Mother's Day. more than 1.500 people were served in the main auditorium, while 781 joined the overflow down- stairs, and 50 or more inmates at the home joyfuily listened in.

Add to this program, submitted in a report by the Social Service Commission and adopted unanimously was an amendment expressing "deep concern for social justice for all individuals and groups." The amendment, approved by the commission chairman, Dr. A. J. Barton of Wilmington, N.C., was offered by Dr. J. M. Dawson of Waco, Tex., after an address in which he referred to allegations of mistreatment of sharecroppers in the South. The convention postponed until next year action on a recommendation by Dr. E. M. Poteat, Jr., of Raleight.

Commenting on 1934 lynchings, Dr. Barton said that "this is still a dark and disgraceful record, when, during a single year, 15 lives can be sacrificed to mob violence." Background—Hey!

ONE-MAN RACE RIOT FOLLOWS TRAFFIC TILT LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Alonzo Goodwin did not trust a white man even when he claimed to come to his defense in a quarrel arising over a traffic accident this week. According to police reports, Goodwin's machine was involved in a traffic accident with a car driven by Miss Genevieve Scholtz at west Washington and Pico boulevards. Neither of the parties was injured. Leonard McDonald, policeman-off duty, was driving by the scene of the accident when he noticed a crowd converging on Goodwin McDonald, in civilian clothes, leaped from his machine and ordered the crowd to disperse, telling Goodwin to back up against the car. Instead of obeying the man's order, Goodwin drew a knife and cut the policeman over the heart and on his right side, slashing his clothes to ribbons before the startled crowd could rush to his rescue. Cries of "lynch him" were shouted by the crowds as Goodwin went down beneath a hail of blows. Arrival of radio patrolmen is said to have prevented further mob violence. McDonald was taken to the receiving hospital seriously injured. Goodwin was also treated at the emergency hospital and later was jailed on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Goodwin has served a sentence for knife wielding before U. S. Webb. Attorney-Central of California, at 70, has been elected to nine consecutive terms. A HOMETOWN PAPER, OF, BY AND FOR WASHINGTONIANS.

The Senate rejected an amendment which would have protected the Negro worker from discrimination and thereby virtually permitted the A.F. of L. to assume complete control of labor relations throughout the country. The bill ostensibly is planned to improve working conditions and raise standards of living by facilitating the organization of workers for collective bargaining. It goes farthur than section 7A of the NRA in that of any interference on the part of the employer with the organization of his employees. The bill thus prevents coercion of labor employers, but in no way provides against discrimination against workers by other employees or unions. If the bill is passed by the House, it will probably mean that the A.F. will now dominate those great open industries in which Negroes first found industrial employment. And if the A.F. of L. continues its past practices of discrimination, the Negro worker will probably suffer even more under this bill than he did under the NRA. ALABAMA HAD ANTI-LYNCHING LAW IN 1852 NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP)—Mabama had an anti-lynching law in effect eight years before the Civil War began. Horace Mann Bond pointed out this week.

THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS BURIAL OF LYNCH BILL MAY COST DEMOCRATS VOTE Writer Predicts Shelving of Measure to Be Used in Campaign In his May 10 dispatch, Rodney Dutcher, noted Washington correspondent for NEA Service, predict that the shelving of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill will be used effectively by the Republican party to woo the Negro voter back into its ranks and may conceivably result in the loss of eight pivotal states in the 1936 Presidential election. "A northern Senator high in the Democratic councils," he writes, "remarked privately after the burial of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill by a southern filibuster that if the 1936 election were close, the episode might cost his party eight or ten important states. "He referred to the fact well known among politicians that the Negro vote can exert a balance of power in certain states—Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland are usually named—in close contests. The best qualified guessers estimate that the Negro vote went 85 per cent for Roosevelt in 1932, whereas perhaps 80 per cent in previous election years had been cast for the Republican ticket. "Negroes are more concerned as a group with lynching than with any other issue. Democratic politician now anticipate a Republican drive to convince them that their 'worst enemies' control the Democratic party. "The southern filibusterers, however, were more worried about their own jobs than about national complications."
