ALL-NEGRO GRAND JURY IN VIRGINIA
Fairfax Judge Dismisses Indictments Against Colored Women
FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE. Va.
—A special session of the Fairfax grand jury, the first in many years with colored men on the panel, met here Friday on orders of Judge Walter McCarthy.
The session was called following the action of Judge McCarthy several days ago in dismissing indictments against two colored women when the technical point was raised that no colored men had been on the panel which returned the indictments charging arson.
His action was in line with the Scotsboro decision of the United States Supreme Court.
Counsel for the women, Louise and Mary Carpenter, cited the Scotsboro decision holding an indictment void because no colored men had been included on the jury list. Judge McCarthy quashed the indictments and ordered a new panel with colored members.
Members of the grand jury are: Alexander White, foreman; Atanor T. Payne, Henry Pige, John R. Pearson, Joseph E. Collins, Otis Wade and Ollie W. Tinner. The latter is a teacher in the Francis Junior High School in Washington but all are residents of Fairfax County.

2nd Precinct Detective Accused of Knocking Down Woman
An affidavit accusing Precinct Detective Frank Ashley, white, of the Second Precinct, of having assaulted a Deanwood woman resident and her mother and of calling them "n.....s without constitutional rights." was forwarded late this week to Inspector William E. Stott, chairman of the Police Trial Board.
A letter, over the signature of Attorney Edward P. Lovett, of the legal staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, accompanied the affidavit. It urged that Inspector Scott take action against the officer.

According to the affidavit, Detective Ashley went to 4242 Bennings Road, Northeast, on May 6, where Mrs. Mildred de Arelain and her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Williams, shake their home. Entering the house without making their identity known, the complaint says the officer in company with Sergeant J. M. Sheldon, white of the Eleventh Precinct, proceeded to go through the house with no regard for the so-called "sanctity of the home."
Mrs. de Arellano avers in her petition that Detective Ashley not only declined to exhibit his right to search the house, but knocked down her mother when the two of them attempted to stop him from conducting an unwarranted search. When he was remonstrated with Mrs. de Arellano declares, and a demand was made that he observe their constitutional rights, the officer replied, "N . . . have no constitutional rights."
Cops Deny Charges
Both Captain James E. Bobo, of the Second Precinct and Detective Ashley denied the charges when questioned by a Tribune reporter. The latter concluded his statement with the assertion that he had, up to a few years ago, paid an annual fee as a member of the N.A.A.C.P.

COTTON CL'B LOSES $1,000 JUDGEMENT
Court Awards Thomas Wallace for Injuries in July 4th Fight
Judgment of $200 was awarded Thomas Wallace, Jr., 1752 Oregon Avenue, Northwest, against Louis Hurwitz and the Temple Luncheonette and Drug Company, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, by a jury in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday. The judgment was in the nature of compensation for damages which Wallace asserts he suffered during a July Fourth melee at the Cotton Club, a night club operated by the Luncheonette management, last year.
It took only forty-five minutes for the jury, sitting under Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue, to return a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, counselled by Attorneys Henry L. Johnson and Edward P. Lovett.
Guy Brothers Accused
Wallace, it was claimed, was attacked, knocked down and severely beaten by Barrington and Trevianon Guy, brothers, following an argument over a girl, Miss Olivet Miller, daughter of the widely known comedian, Flournoy Miller. According to the prosecuting testimony, Wallace and Creston Honesty, 1712 Ninth Street, Northwest, were sitting at a table in the cabaret talking to Miss Miller when Barrington Guy, who was then working as master of ceremonies for the floor show, approached.
Attacked Wallace
Miss Miller, both Wallace and Honesty testified, jumped up from the table as Guy neared them and began remonstrating with Wallace. Guy, it was declared, struck Wallace. Another 'blow' allegedly aimed by Trevionan Guy, a waiter, felled Wallace. A severe pummeling followed, the complainants held, with several waiters and Cotton Club employees taking part. Daniel M. Gary, 208 S Street, Northwest, who was then employed as manager of the Masonic Temple building, in which the club is located, testified that Honesty and Wallace had "sneaked" into the club after having been denied admission at the front door.
Says Plaintiff "Stole in"
The defense based their side of the story on Gary's version. They held that the club had been reserved by the Barons' Club for the entire night and that Wallace and Honesty "crashed the gate." They also asserted that the two youths had been boisterous and had been making obscene gestures at the girls in the floor show.
Wallace threw a bombshell into the defense when, under direct examination, he told the court he had been on several parties with Miss Miller. Asked if he had even driven alone in a car with her, he answered in the affirmative.
Prior to that point it had been intimated that Wallace while sitting at the table, had been making advances at a young woman with whom he was only slightly acquainted.
Dr. George H. Butcher, a dentist; Dr. Peter D. Johnson, physician, both of whom testified they treated Wallace for injuries sustained in the fight; Joseph Birch 1716 Second Street. Northwest; James O. White, 452 P Street. Northwest, and Hurwitz himself, completed the witnesses.

DEAN MILLER DEFIED BY H. U. HEADS
Students Line Up With Administration in the Fight on Johnson
The Howard University administration accepted the challenge of Kelly Miller and others who are seeking to spread dissension at the university, this week when a high officer of the school stated to The Tribune that the time has come for a showdown.
The latest move on the part of the former dean to oust President Mordecai Johnson came in an open letter to government officers and newspapers in which Miller charges that communism is taught at the university and Dr. Johnson is in sympathy with communistic teachings.
Charges Communism
This letter which was published in several of the local papers charges that the recent Conference on Economic Conditions held on the university campus included several noted communists and Red-who advocated the overthrow of the government and revolution. One of the speakers at the conference was James Ford. communist vice-presidential candidate in 1932. The university would make no official statement concerning the recent announcements by Representative Arthur W. Mitchell and Representative Jed Johnson, white of Oklahoma, who stated that they would demand a congressional investigation concerning reports that communism was taught at Howard. An officer of the school stated that since the university has received no official information concerning the conference he felt that there was no need to issue a statement.
Prefers Appropriations
However, this officer did not deem it necessary to answer the open letter of Kelly Miller as he has been writing open letters for some time and everybody is acquainted with his policy since he was retired from the university payroll. "If it's a question of academic freedom and congressional appropriations, I am in favor of the latter," said another officer of the school.
Practically the entire student body rallied to the support of the administration when Charles S. Brown, a senior, wrote an open letter to Dr. Johnson in answer to the one by Kelly Miller. The student stated that all of them would "rather see my Alma Mater reduced to ruins, her buildings crumple, her teachers reduced to rags, and her student body reduced to gruel" in order to preserve the right of free speech and peaceful discussion.
Brown rapped Kelly Miller and hints that the former dean's hands are not too clean.

REV. R. W. BROOKS TELLS MINISTERS CHURCH IS BEHIND
White Pastor Flays Race Prejudice at Mixed Religious Meeting
"Christianity is unworthy of its name unless it comes to grip with the problems of its day." the Rev. Robert W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, declared in an address before an interdenominational and interracial gathering of ministers at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Monday.
Speaking at a meeting sponsored by the Ministerial Union, white, of Washington for the enrichment of Christian fellowship, the Rev. Mr. Brooks queried the ministers on "Can Christianity Save Us?" Giting the history of the church from its beginning, he declared "the church at its worse has its counterpart in history." but warned the clergymen that today's sinful state of the world is "an inescapable challenge that we must accept, if we expect to live."
Ministers Failing
Blaming the downfall of the present-day church on the ministers, he declared "most of us who claim to be followers of Christ are extremely poor representatives. In other words, we are not making Christianity very attractive by the quality we exhibit." The Rev. Mr. Brooks continued: "The Christian life is difficult to live. It requires self-denial, it demands generosity of spirit, it insists on a spirit of love and goodwill, and requires self-control and self-mastery."
Continuing, he asked: "How much influence have we in this country? Politically, I conclude, little or none. The Eighteenth Amendment was repealed, the United States did not enter the world court, the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill was snugly pigeon-holed and our country goes on increasing its budget for the implements of war.
"There are 56,000,000 Christians and a crime record constantly on the increase. Racketeering has become a pleasant pastime and gambling a serviceable avocation. Millions are still unemployed, but the iniquitous profit system still goes on. Relief rolls are loaded to a breaking point while chiselers and graffers fatten in the name of charity."
Flays Prejudice
The Rev. Frederick B. Harris pastor of the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church, white, voiced a scathing attack on race prejudice. Declaring one of the greatest dangers of the world to be "the arrogant contempt of other races by the white races," the Rev. Mr. Harris urged that "we go to all lengths to understand other people."
He called for honest efforts to get the other man's point of view, an analysis of our dislikes and for partnership and co-operation.
Others who took part in the program were: the Rev. Hallley B. Taylor, the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, the Rev. R. Y. Nicholson, white president of the Washington Federation of Churches and the Rev. Edward O. Clark, president of the Ministerial Union, who presided.

PRINCIPAL SPLITS BOARD
(Continued from Page 9)
select an administrative principal from the eligible list.
In similar appointments of the past, the superintendent usually recommended the person at the top of the list and the board confirmed the selection without question. However, in this case, several members of the board decided that the person fifth on the list should be named to the Logan post, while Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, contended the usual procedure should be followed and the highest eligible appointed.
Although rules of the school system require that appointments of teachers must follow strictly the eligible list, considerably more leeway is allowed in choosing principals. It is pointed out by some members that this discretion is conferred so that the person best fitted for the job in other particulars than official professional standing may be selected.
The rules specify that the board may not appoint except on the written recommendation of the superintendent, but say that he recommend the person, within the highest group of five "who in his opinion is best fitted for the existing vacancy."
A search of school records shows that this privilege of not appointing the highest eligible has been invoked three times in the colored divisions, but never in the white.
The eligible lists are compiled by the Board of Examiners which the law requires the board to appoint annually on the recommendation of the superintendent.

Speaking of running, here is a
word of praise for the Pirate ono-
mile relay quartet which set a new
record in the event while 2,000
aroused spectators, largely Hamp-
tonians, went wild with glee. The
relay, the concluding track event
on an all-day program, was a_fit-
ting climax to & thrilling meet dur-
ing which six records in all, four
collegiate and two scholastic had
been shelved into discard.
fees
Hampton athletes were respon-
sible for two of the new marks.
The Pirate quartet. Antoine, Albert
Dunmore, Bus Grier and Mickey
Smith, was clocked in the fast time
of 3 minutes, 23.5 seconds, clip-
ping 95 seconds off the old mark
established back in 1929 on_ the
same historic Armstrong Field
‘track by former Hampton cinder-
‘pathers. Taking the performance
of each member of the team equal-
ly, the record indicates that each
ran the quarter slightly under 51
seconds flat.
sees
However, the remarkable thing
about the Pirate’s team’s running
is the improvement shown. On each
performance out during the season,
the same quartet has registered
better time. At Howard two weeks
ago, they were clocked in 8 min-
utes, 24.1 seconds which was also
bettered than the existing record.
Three of the members of the
quartet are sophomores, and the
fourth a freshman.
eeee
Strangely, Smith is the best
quarter miler of the four. A bit
of luck led to the discovery of
Smith, aceording to the legends
down here. It seems. that Smith
was out on the field playing around
one day when Coach Gideon Smith
wanted a fourth man to replace a
member of the relay quartet who
had failed to put in appearance for
Practice. Smith volunteered to run.
Running in No. 2 position, the
lanky freshman not only bested his
opponent in the quarter hut was
timed in 52 seconds flat. Coach
Smith immediately ordered him ont

— did not have a team enter-
Harrod Outstanding
Jomes Harrod, Armstrong High
School's nominee for one man term
honors, was the individual star of
the day. Harrod set a new record
for the 220-yard dash by winning
in 24 3-5 seconds after racing to &
dead heat in the century with
Archie Lewis of Douglass High.
The time, 10 1-5 seconds in the 100-
yard dash tied the old mark held
jointly by Berry Williams and Nor-
man Fickling, both former Tech
sprinters.
Herrod also captured the 120-
yard low hurdles in the fast time
of 15 seconds flat and leaped 20
feet, 3 inches to take first place
in the running broad jump.
Another Tech athlete, Willie
Watts set a new mark in the high
jump. Watts sailed over the bar

a new standard for the jump and
better the old record by # bare 1-8

century but was forced to take sec-
ond in the furlong dash. He also
scored # fourth in the discus throw.

Roth games were free hitting af-
fairs, with the Redbirds getting
the best of the twin clubmen.

of the Redbirds, was the hero of
both contests." After _ relieving
Young in the fourth inning of the
first game he pitched shutout balt
until the ninth when one marker
crossed the pan. é
He returned to relieve Robinson
in the fifth of the second game and
again stopped a rally until the
ninth, striking out 8 men.
Gene Addison was on the mound

Joe Wheeler, former Tiger
moundsman, pitched _ stubbornly
though not steadily through the 9-
inning shift of the first game, his
teammates meanwhile pounding
the offerings of three Cat hurlers.
In the nighteap the LeDroiters
had revenge. Joe Hall and Sam

ADAMS WINNER OF
ROYAL SPR
GOLF PLAY
The Spring Invitation Tourna-
ment, sponsored by the Royal Golf
Club over the Lincoln Memorial
Course, came to a successful con-
slusion last Sunday evening. The
semi-finals were contested in the
morning over the eighteen-hole,
suicide, route; but, in the after-
noon, the finalists faced the task
of matching strokes over the more
liberal 36-hole stretch.
Reuben Brooks. the present Dis-
trict title holder and medalist of
the tourney, went down to defeat
under the steady stroking of Slim
Carter in the semi-finals by the
count of 4 and 3. This defeat was
a mild surprise to some, despite
the fact that Carter, in his march
to the semifinals. ‘had defeated
such men as Williams and King
and was keyed to the necessary
pie to defeat the District title
older.
Finals Hold Promise
Dr. George W. Adams in the
meantime had turned back a dan-
gerous threat in the person of An-
thony Proctor by the narrow mar-
gin of 1 up. Thus the stage was
set. as we thought, for a final
where breaks only would separate
the two
Dr. Adams, evidently, had come
through thus far with’ something
in reserve. He proceeded to ex:
hibit a brand of golf against Car-
ter that few men could survive,
and. though Carter made several
noble attempts to stem the tide, the
first 18 found him 4 down.
Hopes for a let down jn the scor-
ing spree exhibited by the doctor
failed to materialize in the second
eighteen, and Carter no longer
able to withstand the onslaught
succumbed at the 33rd hole to the
tune of 5 and 3,
Trophies were presented to the
winners and runners-up in all
flights.

ROY"'S TO MEET
NC. BLACK SOX
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—This town
is teeming with excitement since
the announcement. early this week,
of the proposed meeting between
the Washington Royals, strong
Capital City nine. and the Winston-
Salem Black Sox. The tilt is set
for Baggett’s Stadium, Saturday
afternoon.
‘The Royals and Black Sox will
hook up in what might be termed
a “natural.” The former played a
series of games in North and South
Carolina the letter part of last
month and efforts were made to
bring the two teams together.
None of them materialized and the
Washingtonians returned home
without, as they worded it “taking
the Black Sox.”
The North Carolinians, on the
other hand, claimed to have been
just as anxious to take on the
Royals. The dreams of both come
true Saturday at 3 o'clock.

rived to “cover” the Louis camp
and the Louis-Carnera battle for
their respective papers...
Laird, who is a veteran boxing

time ving stars fight in San Fran-
cisco when that city was the fight
Mecca of the world, and declares
that Louis, the night he knocked

clared that they were confident the

seems to get better as the summer

Another World Record
Climaxing a day of phenomenal

By his miraculous feats of Sat-

1 for Sunday
ional Tilts With Winston-
Favored to Stop 1934 .,
rs Expect Large Crowd
A throw-back to 1934 baseball
when the local Hillsdales and the
Winston-Salem Black Sox. the lat-
ter the cream of southern semi-
professional teams, made good and
fast diamond entertainment for
followers of the national pastime,
will be in effeet Sunday afternoon
when the same two teams tie up
in the initial game of their 1935
series.
The clash, set for Griffith Stad-
ium, is slated to get under way at
3:15 o'clock. forty-five minutes af-
ter the Columbia Lodge band con-
cert in front of the park, is begun.
The North Carolinians, by virtue
of their victory in the series last
year, rule favorite over the locals.
‘The 1934 meeting ended with the
Sox copping the opening game, 5-4
and the final game, 2-1. The "Dales
scored a 9-6 decision in the second
encounter,
Since that time both teams have
lost some men and added others.
The visitors will not have Bud
Markham, their slugging outfielder
who is under contract to Ben Tay-
lor and his Brooklyn Eagles. Sleek
Coleman, however, and the rest of
the crew will be on hand.
Capable Additions
eee Runt White, boss of
the Capital City outfit, has or
planted those members of the 1934
aggregation who did not return to
the fold, with several other local
players of no mean ability and who
are well known to followers here
abouts.
Roy Powell, former pitcher-cap-
tain of the Washington Black Sox,
is one of the Dale mound princi-
pals this year. Powell defeated
the Btack Sox last year in a game
at Green Valley Park. Fennell,
feet centerfielder, is also a new
comer to the ranks of the LeDroit
Parkers. His fielding and hitting
have done much to make White
forget the departure of Bill Faunt-
roy who is with another team as
manager.
As is usually the case 9 large
erowd of North Carolina peop!
making their homes in Washing-
ton. is expected to be on hand for
the occasion. Promoters Joe Max-
well, Walter Johnson and Doug
Smith have prepared a separate
rooting section for use of the visi-
tors’ supporters.

Lincoln
"Reckless"
Jean Harlow Wm. Powell
The two most talked of stars in Hollywood come to the screen as a new co-starring team in the picture "Reckless," which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for eight days beginning today (Thursday). And those two stars are Jean Harlow and William Powell.
The picture is the story of a beautiful blonde dancer who rises from a back country carnival to the golden lights of Broadway, a dancing star who becomes a nationwide sensation, who marries a playboy with millions and captures society by her charm. It is the story of a girl who becomes tungled in front-page sensation-alism through the suicide of her husband, who fights for her name and her child—a story of her bravery and decency, her courage
and her hope, with one man in the background who has always loved her and understood her and who comes to her rescue.
Jean Harlow plays her best role since "Red-Headed Woman" as the torch singer and dancer of "Reckless." She appears for the first time as a singing and dancing star. William Powell is the man in the background.
Republic
Jessie Matthews
The arrival of a new star in the picture world is the result of discovery or development. And the arrival of one of such magnitude as Jessie Matthews, who is being presented by British Gaumont in "Evergreen" at the Republic Theatre for eight days beginning today (Thursday), is a tremendous
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JUNE 1.1935
asset in the solution of production and policy problems for producers. Jessie Matthews is Princess Personality herself. She can sing, dance and act. She has charm. And the theatre-going public will be amazed and refreshed by the performance of this young woman. "Evergreen" depicts the rise to fame of a famous star more than a score of years ago. At the peak of her popularity, and as she is about to marry a devoted admirer, she drops out of sight. Then, when she supposedly reappears on the scene, the returned personage is thrillingly and sensationally revealed to be the daughter of the famous star.
Booker T.
Conrad Veidt
A screen event of unusual distinction will be given its premier showing at the Boker T. Theatre on Thursday, and will be shown for eight days. This novel picture is "Power," an absorbing picturization of Lion Feuchtwanger's thrilling story, and starring Conrad Veidt.
"Power" is the dramatic story of the rise and fall of Josf "Suss" Oppenheimer, a sensitive, subtle, yet ambitious young Hebrew, born and raised in the Ghetto of Wurtemburg, whose obsessing ambition was to scale the heights of political power and, through the influence of his newly-acquired position, to avenge and end the oppression and subordination of his people.
"Power" deals with a period in which a minority class of people was persecuted, and is a parallel to the conditions to which our race is subjected.
A certain lady who is noted for her very fragrant breath gives this as her secret.
She keeps a small piece of orris root in her bag and after each meal chews a tiny piece. This gives her breath the fragrance of early Spring violets.
New Starring Team

Harlem's "first family" suffered death's intrusion several weeks ago and had removed from it the father. The accompanying picture of famous Nicholas family, shows Fayard and Harold Nicholas, the lads who form the famous Nicholas Brothers, sensational dancing team with their mother and dad, Mr. and Mrs. U. D. Nicholas, taken just before the untimely death of Mr. Nicholas when the group were en route to California. Mrs. Nicholas is now in Hollywood where she is the guiding power behind her talented sons as they emote before the camera for Paramount's "Big Broadcast of 1935." They are the only big colored name in the entire cast to date. (Photo released by Al-Mac Syndicate.

A word or two of praise to the National Broadcasting Company in presenting its network a sketch "Meetin' House" featuring the Southernaires and a cast of sepia actors. The series is written by a Negro and you can tune it in on Friday evenings...It is a continuous story.
Edith Wilson, the portly, sweet tempered blues singing star of "Blackbirds" who has captivated European audiences for the past eight months, sailed aboard the Cunard liner—the Laconia—for New York City on Monday of last week. Sailing with Miss Wilson were the other members of the "Blackbirds" cast, who were forced to leave England or account of their expired labor permits.
It has been reported that the Lew Leslie company will go into the French Casino on Broadway, New York City. Rumors have been strong that the Casino needed a builder-upper and an effort was made to book the "Blackbirds" show.
If the report concerning the French Casino is true there will be two sepia shows in Broadway Nite Clubs as its is understood the entire show at Connie's Inn is all-colored.
The Miller Brothers, sensational dancers, returned to the gay white lights of Broadway last Friday when they opened at Loew's State. This marks their first New York engagement since their European triumphs last season. The reason of the long lay-off was because of the illness of George Miller, the sensational trapeze dancer of the act, which lasted five months.
A Sepia quartet received a rather cool reception when the time came up to win the money in an amateur show over WTCN. St. Paul last week. This all hapened after the audience had found out that they were pros. The flaw was recognized when the announcer, Bob De Haven, admitted stated that they had been signed that afternoon as a suspining feature which would automatically dismiss them from the ranks of amateurs. Had that announcement been omitted they would have easily won the cash prize.
George Wiltshire, who has been appearing as one of the featured actors in "Harlem Express" has been signed by the Harlem Opera House to Em Cee the regular Tuesday night amateur broadcast from the stage of the theatre. Wiltshire made his debut last week and is very popular with the theatre-goers here. Contract is for indefinite period and may run until September 1.

This is a clipping from the (Press Box) a column written by E. B. REA, Journal and Guide Sports editor.
Freeman Murray. staff photographer of the Tribune, will probably be catalogued as the "world's worst cameraman," Murray placed himself in the middle of the track just behind the tape at the finish of the 100-yard collegiate to get a close up of Williams, of Howard, winning that event. Either Murray suffered an attack of hypermetropia or had his camera focussed for long range, as Williams hurled himself against the tape he crashed into Murray, and as Murray sailed through the air, still clinging to his camera, someone ventured the opinion that he resembled the "man on the flying trapeze."

The main portion of the menu was fried chicken as usual and did the waiters have a bawl sitter the banquet as so many of the guests lost their appetites after attempting to chowl some small edibias bit from the very light birds. Who was the young lady that whispered to the waiter and had her plate carried out only to return with the chicken very well cut. Don't worry, Hyacinth, this is our secret...

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JUNE 1, 1935
THE MOUTHPIECE
LIVE AND LEARN
By JOSEPH OVERTON
Random Thoughts of a Nosey Reporter.
Notice that Mary M. of Tech likes to jibe a certain crooner even though she knew his lady-friend from Baltimore was visiting in the city. Maybe she is taking advantage of the "New Desi!" situation that is prevailing in town. Raymond Stepney has his eyes focused on Florence Edwards since the young miss winked at him Thursday. Better take it easy, my boy! ...William Miller of Tech was observed jibing Florence Wharton in the auditorium. Why not ask the young lady for a date and stop being so bashful?... Eggie Wooden cannot help thinking about his rendezvous last week with the young coed on First Street. Too bad his friends were not around at the time.
The Harlem Rambler.
Ethel Lyes tried to jibe Vernon Davidson Thursday but the young man remembered his loyalty to Helen Beverly, of Tech. It seems that although Helen argued with him last week, he was on the verge of repentance because of the affair at the drill. Well another day has arrived my boy... Leonard Gordon has attracted the fair sex with his singing antics. Notice that Gloria B. hangs around Tech's corridors to wait for the young man. Funny how a songbird has such an influence... Kathryn seems to be very much in love with James "Puddinghead" Smallwood since the young man journeys out to the Suburban Garden!... Gladys Coard hangs on the corner of First and O Street, waiting for a certain young man. Can it really be love at first sight?
Tit and Tat
It seems as though John Mills of Dunbar is at the ole game of cradle robbing. This time it is little Yvonne Maxwell. Don't try to follow in the footsteps of your friend Eddie!..Ruth Irby was seen swinging lightly at the dance given by the O Street Vocational on Friday!.. By a strange coincidence Tech's dance sharks were barred... Georgia Bailey and Dorothy Mitchell left the ranks of the wall-flower brigade and tried their first dance... Roland Mitchell decided to stick to the sidelines as usual. Booster Hughes hangs around Tech so that he cannot miss Zola Gillespie when she leaves Dunbar. Clemetine Nash rides in a blue Auburn driven by Joe. Better take it easy kid!
Tips Galore.
Richard Chatman was seen full of lush at a certain party the other night... For once Leon Braxton did not have his load... Bea Smith was jibing a certain cadet captain... Juanita Bright seems to be interested in Porky Hamilton. Wonder where was Footney?... A new face has appeared around town after an absence of six months. Where have you been keeping yourself, Clyde R.?... Bernice Hawkins seems to hold the role of the carnival' charm... Notice that Lee Lung is trying to jibe Katie Wells. Too bad Donald doesn't know about this!... Counsellor McClellan will hook up to a certain young lady this summer. It is about time!
Maurice C. Winters, former member of Radio's Four Barons, is planning to produce a stage show. It will be called the "All-Washington 1935 Revue." Plans are under way to give amateur talent a chance. Winters is an arranger for several orchestras and quartets in nearby cities.
Sensayuma.
Francis Whatley was seen holding Ernestine Fletcher hand when Harry C. wasn't around... The Brigadiers will hold a dance at the Masonic on June 6, directly after the battalion competition Trophys will be awarded the winning cadet major and lieutenant colonel... The Moonlight Social Club will hold a swinger on June 1 at 1219 Sixth Street. Northwest. More Tips.
Leroy Turley is weeping since a certain young lady took a trip to Virginia. Better take it easy, my boy... Notice that Winston Stewart turned down Grace Washington of Ivy City but the young miss is still jibing him... What has happened between Richard F. and Frames? They seem to be angry with each other... I see where Mary Helen and Tacky are at odds again Why not kiss and make up?
...Since bi-swings are in style,
Buck Betters cannot help sporting
in that Clark Gable suit...Francis
Jennifer hangs around a bunch of
cute chicks and how he likes to
talk about them. It is dangerous
rhythm! Nuf sed...Roland

young girls now.

The following list was submitted by Smitty Marshall and it is his idea what a group of well knowns appear to him: Robert Young, "You've Got Me Crying Again"... Alonzo Rivers, "Black Magic!"... Archie Chambers, "Mood Indigo"... Edward Torrence, "Lazy Bones"... Oswald
The Younger Set BY MORRIS MURRAY
With "her" hair flowing down "her" back and with an evening gown sweeping the stage, "Mother" Louis Diggs, local dawn boy and female impersonator danced and sang "her" way to the title of Alex-andria's queen at the Capitol Theatre there last week.
Amid "What'cha know, baby?" and "Look mama, it's a man in woman's clothes", Louis flirted with the audience. "Running up and down the aisle, switching "her" lovely dress as if "she" were Mae West.

This week it isn't such a problem in starting off the works as one of my good friends sent in this titter..... "It looks like the class night pageant is going to be 'snow white' this year. I don't mean costumes, either; and we talk about segregation...That's a slam on the stooges who give in to such crap."
The latest is that Rhoda Savoy gave Paul Cooke, brother to Louis, the air before he had time to say boo. It doesn't run that way with Louis as he picks 'em at will... Huh, Lovettt? The Scions' picnic will draw them together.
Nelson Parker got an invite to the junior-senior at Miner, but the good Samaritan was so beat he refused. Better luck next time, Mary.
Lillian McDaniel seems to be lost in a fog after Melvin Mahoney let her go. We find her sighing at lunch hour...The northeast bunch, who hug the southeast pillar in the armory, has gone on a diet or their beer-slinging friends have cut the allowance. Which is it?... Dear Ernest W, you'd better see Gloria about the Secions' picnic before she changes her mind about the escort. I heard it's to be changed... Sammy Westerfield lost the much-talked-about tennis match last week after two weeks of A. Cromwell... Reports coming from the hill are that Constance Rickety will be a
Another evidence of the oft repeated statement that "the best tobacco and women come from the state of Virginia" is personified by the likable Ruby Smith. (At least the last part of that statement holds true.) The lass has been in our fair city for about three summers, and is a graduate of the Cardozo Night School, class of 1934. Athletically inclined, but leans particularly to dancing, hiking and basketball. Entertains hopes of devoting a life-time to some phase of business. Fanatic "devotee" to good stage shows, and not unlike most members of the feminine ilk, never grown tired of hearing crooners—moan about "Love in Bloom," "The Moon in June" and stuff like that! Dubbed by this column as the "Belle of Q Street"—not only because she lives on said street, but because of a surprisingly unblemished complexion, a too, too sweet disposition and a very healthy looking body. Staunch supporter of the Young People's Forum, Ruby is admired by all of the boys because of her ever willingness and enthusiasm to "go places and do things."
Next week's sketch will feature as its subject Joseph Cornish.
Your pen-men about town.
Your commentator must make duapology (for last week's absence of "this pillar") to his two devoted readers. Rather than invent a fool-proof allbi, suppose we say that laziness, pure and simple, forbide us from penning the customary treatise?...As if you cared!...Always after a week's respite, the point usually is, "Where shall we begin?"...Critics say that Raymond Tyler made one or the most masterful orations at the combined Cardozo-Armstrong night school graduation exercises last week...So good was the guy that the audience called for "the baby to take another bow....Nominate Miss Beatrice Muse as one of Washington's most dependable misses...How's this for gratitude: a few weeks ago this column gave "Bill" Thomas what we considered a most excellent
Wines, "Sleepy-head!" ... And back to the grab. Alfred Druitt has his eyes focused on a certain young coed around Tech. Too bad the young man at Cardozo has not been tapping on him. ... Rober Young has quit the Junior Aristocrats and is now a member of the Brigadiers. ... Theodore Brockman is a gigolo these days. Since the young man drives a car, he is bound to be popular. ... Reese Carson seems to be jibing Mae Watson since Emory Chase left. ... Until next week, I'll be seeing you

"plug" in our feature, "Personality Sketch." To show his appreciation, Bill retaliates in his column in the Progressive Consumer by listing among his list of "impossibilities" Alvin "Chick" Webb ever growing one inch taller, or words to that effect... Now wasn't that cute of 'lil Bill?' Wasn't it Winfield "Slim" Thomas who asked a number of lassies to wait behind for him in order to take them to a party, and then skipped off in the company of another lass? Shame on you, Winfield! The two Ednas, Watson and Barnes, last names, were graduates of this year's Cardozo night class. Congrats! The Blevins pair, Joanne and Naomi, fed what Sunday-picnicking bunch last week-end? As did Grace Doctor and Inez Bostle, while the Broadus twosome, Cordelia and Arlene, have changed residences to somewhere on Vernon Street! Calvin and Ralph Duvall have recently grown in popularity by virtue of their ability to furnish the necessary transportation for Sunday outings.

Those three young men from Harlem, Clyde Woodroffe, Linton Mordecai and Edmund Edmead, "chip in" an cook their meals a la bachelor. The actual cooking is performed by Clyde, who garnered oodles of experience in the art at New York summer camps. The soror of Amelia Saunders tossed a swinger Saturday evening at her Ninth Street home—but which eventually ended at Percy Marshall's Eighth-Street abode early Sunday morning. Some fun, eh what?... I did not know until recently that women were adopting a new fad, wearing false hair—and the tricky little devils are purchasing strands to identically blend with their natural locks! Little women what next?...
Four Sharps, Quartet,
Plan Summer Tour
The Four Sharps, local harmony quartet, met at the residence of Joseph Bussey, 1148 Fifth Street, Northeast on Monday. The quartet is composed of four Armstrong High students. They are James "Sheik" Parker, pianist; Reese "Fats" Carson, and his guitar; Joseph Bussey and Joseph Overton. Plans for a tour of theatres and night clubs this summer were discussed.
ECE
Last week a group of friends gathered at the residence of John and Elmer Mahoney to swing and eat. The affair was at 1133 Girard Street, Northwest. Notice that Dorothea Hill and John Mahoney were telling love stories to each other.
Among those present were Dorothea Hill, Dorothy Waters, Caroline Mapp, Ethel Hoffler, Vivian Wood, Catherine Barnaby, Janey Crockett, H. Bradford, A. Smith, H. Newbury and L. Brent.
The Gardenias
The Gardenias gave a hop at the Whitelaw Hotel last Saturday. The news comes that many old maidens and grandfathers were there to shake a leg. The affair was strictly sad.
Dear Gardenias, please don't ask your mothers and fathers to dance the next time. Give the younger people a break.
Last Friday the Merlin Pleasure Club gave a swinger at the Variety Town and Country Club. The affair was well attended by the capital set. Lyrics were furnished by Jack Monroe's Orchestra. The Modern Debutantes and the Dolly Dimples will hold a dance on Labor Day. It is rumored that Tommy Myles and the Blue Birds orchestra will furnish the music. The Junior Aristocratate
The Junior Aristocrat
The Junior Aristocrat have made plans for the coming season They are giving a dance on graduation night. This affair will be their first of the season.
The Just So Pals
The Just So Pa's gave a dance down in Virginia last Friday night Allen Jones and Flento Conish were seen jibing the dames, as usual.
Many members from the Capital City motored down to look things over.
Walter L. Smith, principal of Dunbar, stated to the prom committee that there would be no junior and senior prom. The change came about when some pupils wanted to bring outsiders as their guests.
The principal said "no." and further stated that there would be no prom.
Wonder what is going to happen to the old Community House?
Good old J. B. Davidson made a flying trip to old D. C. recently from Philly where he has a very good sign business.
Also met Mable and Tommie, a very charming couple.
And Robert Robinson am still holding his own. He is outstanding in Louis Brown's Orchestra and the band is plenty hot.
Dear Edwin Leak, just where is the dance being held—upstairs in the Casino or downstairs? And another thing—since tipping that gallon jar of yellow fluid I have been seeing two of everything. What is the antidote?
And here's to H. Contee and Alonzo Collins as the new Managers of Carr's Beach. If it can be put over they will do it. They are well known in amusement circles and a very capable pair.

"The Voice of the Capital"
Well, well, well, the upper classmen of these bricks gave a fine variety show last week. We mean of course the Post Graduate... The affair included a short play down to modeling fineries of the Washington smart shops... And speaking of the fashion on parade, one of the lovlies deserves orchids. She is Miss Melba Wells who looked very chic in a riding habit (without the horse). Others who stood in the spotlight were the Misses Martha Wilkins, LaVerna Evans and the lovely Edna Collins... Add orchids for the others whose names are not familiar to this department... Mark Chapman the M.C., was a knockout but this writer thought he did a Huey Long act, which means he that chatted just a little too much. The only act that deserved a few eggs (not fresh) was a trio involving Mr. Summer Johnson, James Earle and James Johnson. Myo there were too many James's in the act... Miss Daris Cooper who failed in the tryouts before the Mike did a splendid job of it before the fans and also the mike. A mike will either make or break you as many of the characters you found on the program... Miss Eunice Quander who gave several vocal seemed to be the only one who seemed to master the spoiler... (mike)... the program we understand might be repeated next Friday for the babies of Cardozo, the graded scholars in the annex. You might find it interesting to join them if the rumor is true. FLASH! Two would be producers gave a little affair last Friday on Eleventh Street which turned out to be somewhat of a flop... Mr. Clinton Wood and Herbert Dixon are the guilty ones. Mother want
James Jackson. And the dear boy is going to show everybody how to make money. The swimming hole is now closed at Suburbern. Gardens so says James Jackson.

The Dynamic Charity Club held their spring prom at the Murray Casino last Friday nite. It was a wonderful affair and very well attended. The music was funished by Louis Brown and how he played! Refreshments were served by the ladies of the club with Miss Anna Woodland in charge.

ed the affair very strict and as consequently there were few dim lights and only one person was allowed to sit in a chair... We know that plan just didn't suit the taste of our dear Captain John Epell and Miss Celestine GEMore who were present... However, that's only a conclusion drawn by your writer...

COURT DECLARES WALTER MONROE FEEBLE-MINDED
Jailed Man Ordered Sent to Institute at Laurel, Md.
Justice F. Dickerson Letts, in District Supreme Court, Thursday, directed that Writer Monroe, Washington youth who sought freedom from a ten-year prison term imposed for turning in false fire alarms be turned over to the Institute for the Feeble-minded at Laurel. Md.
Monroe was sentenced on December 31, 1929, in police court by Judge Robert E. Mattingly after conviction for turning in ten false alarms to consecutive terms which totaled ten years. Last Thursday, Monroe, through his attorney, Henry Lincoln Johnson Jr., filed petition for a writ of habeas corpus to gain his freedom from the sentence.
After agreement with the corporation counsel and his attorney, Judge Mattingly decided to grant the writ and release the prisoner from the workhouse at Oceoquan. Monroe contended that he had been deprived of his constitutional rights. The case was brought before Justice Letts for hearing on the writ.
Denied Right
Monroe declared that at the time of his arrest and trial he was a minor, and could neither read nor write. Previously he had been an inmate of the District Training School at Laurel, Md., where he had been sent as a feeble-minded person.
Through his attorney, he characterized Judge Mattingly's decision as "a cruel, harsh and unusual sentence." He said he had no knowledge of the whole proceedings and that no one told him of his right to a jury trial or to have a lawyer represent him. He said he took no part in the trial except to deny the charges.
The sentence, according to Monroe's petition, was 180 days in jail and a fine of $100 on each of the ten charges. $n_0$ default of paying the fine in each case, the total sentence automatically became ten years.
Declared Feeble-Minded
Since his conviction in 1929, Monroe has been serving time in District penal institutions. On October 7, 1930, he was examined by physicians at GaLinger Municipal Hospital, who said that he was "feeble-minded," with a mental age of seven years and six months.
He states in his petition that except for the intervention of friends who told him of his right to a lawyer and to a jury trial, he would not have petitioned the court for a writ and his release.
Monroe also charged that for three days previous to his trial he was held in jail without being allowed to speak to anyone. At his trial no eye-witnesses appeared to identify him as the one who turned in the false aarms.
After hearing the testimony Justice Letts ordered Monroe returned to the institute at Laurel on the grounds that he was feeble minded.

2-YEAR MURDER OF POLICEMAN SAID SOLVED
A two year murder mystery was solved, according to police, with the arrest Tuesday of Willie Bullock. 32-year-old suspected slayer of Policeman George W. Shinault, white, in August, 1932. Shinault was shot to death as he was about to enter a house in the 100 block F Street. Northwest, in response to a radio call. He was accompanied by a brother officer, R. P. Edwards, white. As he was approaching the house a shot rang out in the darkness and the policeman dropped to the ground mortally wounded. Occupants of the house were placed under arrest, but all testified that Bullock had done the shooting and had escaped through a rear door. As a result of this testimony, Bullock was indicted on a charge of first degree murder.
Since that time detectives have searched for Bullock in several eastern cities. He was finally taken into custody in Philadelphia.

HUNGER DRIVES RUNAWAY BOY BACK HOME
Did you ever get hungry?
Not just plain hungry, but hungry
Well, that's what happened to Ralph Brown. 10 years old, of 402 K Street, Northwest, Monday night. And when Ralph got hungry he decided to go on home. And when he went on home, Ralph solved for his mother, police and a large number of interested residents, the kidnapping and $1,000 ransom demand reported to First Precinct police over the past week-end.
An investigation was begun shortly after Mrs. Lily Brown, mother of the youth, returned to her home Sunday night to find her boy missing. On the floor of his bedroom was a paper bag with the "extortion demand" of $1,000 included in a note signed by "The Triple X and Hiz Men."
Search Futile
A search was conducted but to no avail. Two boys, brothers, and friends of young Ralph were taken into custody by police and held for questioning. This failed to net anything for investigators to work on.
But Monday night. Precinct Detectives H. D. Johnson and H. K. Baker, white, attached to the First Precinct, were cruising in the vicinity of the Brown home when the lad appeared trudging along in the general direction of home. They picked him up and carried him to the station where he was identified by his mother.
Wrote Note Himself
The youth explained that he left home on his own accord after scribbling the note, went to Anacostia Park where he hid in the bushes until the pangs of hunger seized him. He was on his way to a good hot dinner he had been visualizing all day when the cops grabbed him. he said.
Ralph told police his mother was mean to him and that he was running away from her. Mrs. Brown, however, and other relatives denied this. The latter told police she was planning to have him held as an incorrigible.
Indict Pair On Charges Of Manslaughter
District grand jury, yesterday (Wednesday), indicted Herbert Lewis and Robert Calhoun on charges of manslaughter and joyriding in connection with the death, May 5, of Raymond M. Henson.

Werner, 2321 First Street, Northwest, and while being chased by a police scout car, skidded into a tree at the coroner of Twenty-seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast, killing Henson instantly.
MILLER DEFIED BY H.U. HEADS
(Continued from page 1)
Professor Miller is truly so solicitous of the welfare of Howard University rather it seems that he is using this conference as the pretext, so that he can give expression to his own personal disappointments, not the least of which is his failure to become president of Howard University.
"Professor Miller has long been disgruntled and for time past has had several axes to grind which he has always done on what he thinks were propitious times. But before a person carries his case to the court for justice, he must be sure that his hands are clean. I am afraid that Kelly Meller cannot stand close scrutiny. For ex-axple, Kelly Miller was discreetly silent when he was negotiating with the university to acquire his watered real estate holdings on Fourth Street, likewise no one heard his voice when he was on the active university payroll. With his pension assured and his coffers filled with university dollars, he then became its most unregenerated critic. How can such a man raise the question of radicalism or anything else?
Should Be Grateful
As a matter of fact Professor Miller should be grateful eternally to the administration for keeping him on the staff until his retirement. It was common campus gossip and experience that he knew nothing, taught nothing, and should have said nothing. All of the lazy and indifferent students forever sought his classes as the haven of the indolent and the free circus. Before Congress lifts one finger to touch Howard University as a haven of radicalism it should order its own house. The Library of Congress affords more radicalism than all the Howard conferences. Likewise Congress itself is tinged with radicals, if by that term is meant all those who disagree with present standards of social justice. Congress cannot set itself up as the judge of wide social movements, for Congress is the creature of these movements.
Denies He Is Communist
Dr. Johnson left early this week for speaking engagements in the south but before leaving he made clear his stand on communism and merely restated his stand on the subject which he made a year or two ago when he was charged with being a communist.
His statement follows:
"I am not a Communist. I am always on my guard against any dogmatic panacea for the settlement of the complex difficulties which confront us in the modern world. On the other hand, I am not in accord with those who believe that the best way to deal with Communism is to persecute those who believe in it. And I am not of the opinion that patriotism requires any thoughtful man to subscribe to the doctrine that there is nothing good to be found in the Russian experiment.
"The determination of the leaders of this movement to make use of modern scientific and technical resources to emancipate the masses of the people from poverty and its ills, including the diseases of acquisitiveness is a commanding undertaking which no modern nation can ignore. The enthusiasm and devotion with which they give themselves to their major purpose is suggestive of the kind of idealism which religion has always felt to be precious.
"The way to meet this new movement is not to persecute those who believe in it. or merely to focus at-warities which may appear therein, but to beget on our own soil and in a manner consistent with the religious and political beliefs of our fathers a movement which sets forth objectives no less splendid and which can arouse the whole-hearted allegiance of our citizens. Many able men in America are trying to do this. The work is timely, their patriotism is wise, and their following will increase."
Seeks to Clear Up Press
Congressman Mcchell in a statement to the Tribune said that he was for Howard University and would attempt to do all in his power to preserve the high ideals for which the school was founded. However, he said the trouble at the university should be cleared up and he was in the fight to see that it was done.
The conference at the university was under the auspices of the Social Science Department of which Prof. Ralph Bunche is head. Prof. Bunche said that he has given a report of the conference to the university president and since an attempt was being made to make the president responsible for the concience he did not think it was advisable to make his report public before it was brought before the administration.
However, Prof. Bunche denied
the allegation by Kelly Miller that
the New Deal was attacked at the

conference and there was no New Deal defenders. He exhibited a program which disclosed that many government officers were invited and several came to the meeting and spoke. He said the speech by James Ford was not on the program as he spoke like any other member in the audience who cared to talk and the various speeches were limited to three minutes. Kelly Miller approved of one statement by Ford in which the communist stated that an all Negro congress should be assembled.
Miller Dissatisfied
Officers of the university are of the opinion that the school would mean little if free academic freedom were abolished and students restricted to hearing certain groups or persons. All agreed that the time has come when a showdown should come between Kelly Miller and the administration. This will be the test case. The students and officers say that Miller should be put in his place once for all time as he is merely distorting facts of the conference to embarrass the administration and satisfy a personal grievance.

Places Ban On Baltimore Parent-Teacher Groups
BALTIMORE. — Principals of the public schools here were notified, late last week, by Dr. David E. Weiglein, white, superintendent of public instruction, that, by fall, all parent-teacher associations affiliated with city, state, or natonal councils must be done away with. It is presumed that the ban is the result of a fear that they may become political organizations, and injure other groups working for the interest of the schools.

WEEK ENDING JUNE 1, 1935
Howard University and Academic Freedom
Again the sinister forces enlisted to destroy Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, are massing for another assault. Failing in their first attempt, based on charges of irregularities in the disbursement of PWA funds, thoroughly discredited when Secretary Ickes announced his unqualified confidence in the general administrative activities of President Johnson by stating that while some funds may have been used for purposes other than contemplated by the allocations, yet there was no semblance of wrong-doing.
When the Secretary, great progressive liberal that he is, made a first time personal appearance at a university banquet to compliment Dr. Johnson, the fight collapsed.
In this new assault the old, much discussed and long since discredited charge of Dr. Johnson's communistic trends as indicated by recent acts and utterances are brought out and a congressional investigation is again threatened.
During the past ten years this threat has appeared many times, and would now attract but scant notice except as a part of the recent attempt to discredit and remove Dr. Johnson. There has just been held at the university a National Conference on the position of the Negro in the national economic crisis. At this meeting sponsored by the Social Science division of the university, several prominent Communists and representatives of the American Workers' Party made speeches. Dr. Johnson is accused of having presided at one of the meetings.
It also appears as part of this fearsome charge that President Johnson made a speech before members of a House Appropriations Sub-committee. The speech seemed to please the committee members who spoke favorably of the University administration. Representative Marion A. Zioncheck (Democrat) of Washington, made approving and spirited reference to the atmosphere of academic freedom at the university.
Thereafter Dr. Johnson spoke at length upon the necessity for preservation of such academic freedom, and is reported to have declared that such academic freedom was of more importance than appropriations.
Without at this time making comment on the general charge against the university president of communistic leanings, it would seem that we are all too deeply concerned that at Howard University, greatest of all institutions of higher learning under control of our people, that academic freedom should at any and all hazards be maintained. Regretably we all concede that academic freedom is not possible at any of the great Negro schools in the South.
How necessary, therefore, how vital to all is the maintenance of one seat of higher education at which Negro youth have the benefit of enlightened teaching on all phases of social trends, to be thoroughly fitted to take their places as leaders and teachers in the further upheavals of this new and ever-changing world.

More power to Dr. Johnson and his highly efficient Department of Social Science.. Long may he live to carry on this fight for equality of opportunity and to this sacred purpose, maintain at any and all hazards at Howard University liberal and untrammeled thought in an atmosphere of academic freedom.
Stench Time
Again the gentle breeze of late spring twirls into the nostrils of the pedestrians and residents of Northwest U Street, stench from alleys leading into that thoroughfare from Ninth to Fourteenth Streets. The disagreeable odor is most pronounced in the early morning hours when the rising sun beats down upon the fresh nuisances done the night before.
This condition is not due to the fact that this is a Negro thoroughfare—but due to the fact that it is a thoroughfare where transients have no means of relief that would be afforded if a comfort station were located on the 19th
Again the gentle breeze of late spring twirls into the nostrils of the pedestrians and residents of Northwest U Street, stench from alleys leading into that thoroughfare from Ninth to Fourteenth Streets. The disagreeable odor is most pronounced in the early morning hours when the rising sun beats down upon the fresh nuisances done the night before.
This condition is not due to the fact that this is a Negro thoroughfare—but due to the fact that it is a thoroughfare where transients have no means of relief that would be afforded if a comfort station were located on the 10th and U Streets triangle.
The city fathers always claim that there are no funds for such a structure but funds should be, and could be obtained if those in authority would admit that such conditions that prevail on U Street are not conducive to good health. The residents of the neighborhood, and the business men of the section should petition and petition and petition until a comfort station is placed on the triangle. And if petitions fail—then appeal to the health department and force them to take action in the matter.

To the Editor:
Sometime ago I discussed in a correspondence with an American friend studying in Columbin the question of race prejudice. Like most educated Americans he expressed horror over violent incidents resulting from color hatred, and said he heartily wished that men might outgrow so absurd and childish a sentiment as this.
"The color of the skin" he wrote in one letter, "is no indication of the intellectual and moral worth of a person and after all the only things worthwhile in man are his mind and his character. Skin-color is purely a matter of pigmentation perhaps originally evolving under the influence of climate. Difference in achievement between races are largely due to differences in opportunity, geographic environment, climatic conditions, and cultural background."
"A professor here," he said in another letter. "has experimented with chickens in an attempt to find the role which color plays in the relations of the lower animals. He puts two chicks, one white and another brown, in the same pen. As they grew older, the brown fellow was seen lording it all over the white one, pecking him into submission."
"Perhaps it is foolish to make too much out of this experiment- but I believe it pretty well illustrates the idea that the advantage many men claim for themselves on the score of skin color has not basis whatever in nature. It is in fact a lie so deeply buried in tradition that it has come to pass for truth among many.
"You know from history that civilization has not always been dominated by the white peoples. First on the field were the yellow races, and then the swarthy-skinned peoples of the valleys of the Euphrates and the Nile, and still later the lighter-skinned peoples of southern Europe.

So reasonable, so scientific an attitude, yet so hopelessly academic. If I were with this friend of mine right now, for example, it is ten chances to one that he will hesitate to present me to his circle of friends and family. He would feel awkward seen in my company. Try hard as he might he would conceal with very poor success his awareness of the fact that he is white and I brown.
He would treat me precisely as many Americans even in my country treat Filipinos, looking down upon them, outwardly friendly but inwardly snobbish towards them-keeping them out of their clubs, etc.

To the Editor:
The Lord wants me to call the attention of your readers to some facts about the sinful nations and disasters.
The cruel nature has lashed Japan time after time on account of her sins. The Chinese have been whipped for their sins, especially for worshipping idols.
Do you remember the disaster of Formosa on April 22, 1935? It was published that nearly 3,000 persons were killed by it. And also I heard of the Turks' disaster some weeks ago. And sometimes the United States is lashed.
My friends, all nations should worship the God of heaven and earth, and call upon the name of Jesus, the Son of the living God, and prosperity would be poured out in abundance upon men and women.
Yes, call upon the name of my God, the God of love the God of respect the God of sympathy, the God of honor, the God of prosperity, the God of wisdom.

Youth challenges CCC heads for placement of
Negro officers in camps.
To the Editor:
Prior to the great World War our government had no standing reserve organization in which it could train and maintain officers for military leadership in time of emergency. Therefore, we were found wanting when confronted with such a costly conflict. The aftermath of the war, in view of this fact, involved an inevitable adjustment of values and relationships in all parts of our government and industry.
"Prepare for war in time of peace" was the one great concern just after the close of the war. The anxiety on the part of our President and Congress to avoid the mistakes of the past and provide some means through which men could be partially trained in order that this government might not be caught "napping" in the future led to the organization of the ROTC established in colleges and universities. Two of these units are established at Howard and Wilberforce Universities and a most efficient junior unit at Tuskegee Institute under the command of Col. B O. Davis, where a large number of young men graduate each year as reserve officers, ready to serve their country at the call of the government.
We realize that the CCC is not a military organization, having been designed to relieve the unemployment situation caused by the depression. It is, however, a kind of school for reserve officers. Here the officer becomes familiar with company administration and with the handling of property in a military organization.
Today there is an unrest that is everywhere apparent among Negroes caused by the exclusion of Negro officers from the active duty list with the Civilian Conservation Corps.
If the American Negro was 100 per cent loyal throughout the war, in spite of injustice and discrimination, is it not fair that the government of these United States should be equally loyal to him as a citizen and give the Negro officer a chance to better prepare himself, that he might be even more efficient in the future than he was in the past? I believe that this is a cause which should be challenged by the 12,000,000 or more Negroes of these United States. What will you do?

Kelly Miller Discusses
Turning to The Left
The keynote of the conference, which ran through its proceedings as the current theme of an opera, was that the Negroes must combine with white labor and overthrow existing orders in order to wrest their common rights from capitalism which exploits them both.
The drift of present-day thought on political, economic and social questions is from right to left. The mind of the young educated Negro is tinged with radicalism. I once defined a Negro radical as an over-educated West Indian. I meant no reflection upon my Carribean compatriot many of whom rank among my best friends, but the underlying thought was that a highly educated Negro without a sense of responsibility, is prone to recruit the ranks of the restless and dissatisfied. It has ever been so. Satan will find mischief still for idle hands to do.
A National Conference, under the auspices of the Joint Committee on National Recovery and the Social Science Division of Howard University, has just been held at the latter named institution. The theme of the conference was the position of the Negro in our national economic crisis.

CONFERENCE WAS PRO-COMMUNISTIC
John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee, a young man of intellectual pertness and restless spirit, was the right bower of this conference with Ralph J. Bunch. of the Howard faculty, also a young man of intellectual parts as the left bower. This conference was unquestionably communistic in tone and red in hue. The participants, for the most part, belonged to the left wing, although there was a good sprinkling of those of a more conservative temperament such as T. Arnold Hill of the Urban League, and George E. Haines, of the Federal Council of Churches. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois was relegated to the ranks of conservatives and the reactionary. Among the avowed communists might be mentioned James W. Ford and several other avowed communists and socialists and Mrs. McKinney, of the American Labor Party, which if anything, is more radical than the Communist. A selected number of working folk of radical tendency, from different parts of the country, whose expenses were presumably paid by the conference participated in the program. The voice of no conservative workman was heard. Several experts from government departments were present and engaged in merely factual and technical discussions, but carefully refrained from entering into the general involvements of the conference.

GOVERNMENT SERVICE
MEN NOT PARTICIPANTS
It was surprisingly strange that no one of the colored representatives in the government service was given a place on the program. Eugene Kinckle Jones who perhaps knows more about the economic life of the Negro than any other member of his race, was merely a looker-on in Venice. Why was this? Obviously because the promoters of the conference desired to hear only the radical side of the question.
Sensing the trend and temper of the gathering at its first session, I queried of the presiding officer whether it was the purpose of the conference to keep within the framework of the Christian religion, Democratic institution and the Constitution of the United States. I was informed that such was not the purpose and that the conference was not limited to any political, economic or social theory. The destruction of capitalism and the doing away with existing arders constituted the dominant note.
THE "NEW DEAL"
CONDENNED
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. The overthrow of existing orders by revolt, violence and bloodshed was openly advocated. The keynote of the conference, which ran through its proceedings as the current theme of an opera, was that the Negroes must combine with white labor and overthrow existing orders in order to wrest their common rights from capitalism which exploits them both.
I, as the big bad wolf of the conference, branded as representing the extreme Right stated that it was a waste of time to urge the Negro to combine with white labor, the Negro workmen would fly into the arms of white labor if they could find a welcome. The only sector of white labor which welcomes their black co-workers is Communistic and it would be suicidal for the Negro to join the ranks of the Communist.
This served as a firebrand and I thereafter became the spearhead of attack as the chief conservative and advocate of capitalism.

Y.M.C.A. AND N.A.A.C.P.
MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE
The most puzzling features of this conference devolve about the attitude of the constituencies which fostered it. The Joint Committee is composed of such Negro organizations as the National Baptist Convention, the Methodists' General Conferences, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the N.A.A.C.P., the Urban League and the Council of Federation of Churches in Christ. No one of these organizations, I am sure, would be willing to stand for such radical pronouncements as issued from this conference. I am sure that Howard University, one of its sponsors, which is supported by Government funds would not care to be held responsible for such a conference. It is also interesting and curious to note that sessions were held all day Sunday even while religious services were going on in the University Channel.

Italy Threatens and Demands; Ethiopia Demands and Reforms
Whites Agitate for Forty-ninth State; Interest is Great
A year ago, only a seer would have been daring enough to predict that within less than a twelve-month the eyes of the world would be centred upon a white man and a black man, matching wits and resources, over one of the most pregnant issues of the day.
Scarcely a seer would have ventured to suggest that the tiny, lady-fingered emperor of Ethiopia, would be the one to ground himself in the path of Europe's prize dictator-boastful Benita Musolini. But such is a fact and, in the six months which have passed since Musolini began making threatening gestures toward Halle Selassie's empire, the Ethiopian monarch, in the language of the street, has played the Italian off the boards.
While the issue as to fighting strength has not been tested, Italy has had ample opportunity to sample Ethiopian diplomacy, and Signor Mussolini has found himself thwarted at every turn.
Like Unto America
It used to be the fashion among imperialistic nations, the so-called civilized ones, to move in on the so-called barbarous ones, in the name of civilization and humanity and to mask their greed under a high morality. Even the United States did a clever turn of that sort of thing in taking Porto Rico from the Spaniards and the Philippine Islands from the Filipinos.
But the emperor of Ethiopia is convincing the rest of the world-even if Musolini is still obdurate, that his nation is capable of taking care of its own affairs.
Early in the imbrogio, the word came out of Ethiopia: "In case of aggression, we fight to the last man."
That was no idle threat or boast-Forty years ago, the Ethiopians annihilated an Italian army of 30-000 men.
League Evades Issue
Ethiopia, as a member of the League of Nations has insisted that that body act under the League convenient to prevent war between the East African kingdom and the Italians. The League has sought to evade the issue and to throw the quarrel back upon the principals.
But Ethiopia made her position so plain and so clearly outlined its justice, that the smaller member nations of the League came upon her side, so that last week prior to the scheduled meeting of the League Council Monday, England and France, were forced to discard their indifferent attitude and to let it be known that they hoped Mussolini would be careful.
To the Editor:
Although the National Movement for a Forty-ninth State, led by Attorney Oscar Brown, Chicago, designated as the governor-general, has excited a variety of comment among thinkers within the race who apparently choose to regard the idea of a 49th state for Negroes as preposterous and impossible, there are many movements now afoot among white citizens to place another star in the national flag.
There is "agitation in what is known as "Texlahoma," "Absarkora," Eastern Maryland, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska for statehood. And there has been a persistent effort among some elements in this city and in New York to cut off from the rest of the state. All of the white citizens are in earnest.
The proposal from the colored groups comprehends the creation of a new state within the bounds of which Negro citizens might enjoy freedom of political opportunity and the chance to develop to their fullest extent. There are white citizens in 23 counties of Oklahoma and 46 counties of the Texas Panhandle who wish a state of their own to be called "Texlahoma." The group
Say Lovejoy Died for Freedom of Press, Not For Freedom of Slaves
Services commemorative of the life and death of Elijah Lovejoy were held at Colby College, Waterville. Me., last Thursday at which distinguished leaders of American life and of journalism paid tribute to the fiery abolitionist who was killed by a mob at Alton Ill., in 1837. All those who gathered to paw him tribute were white. Although Negroes have revered Lovejoy for his outspoken position against slavery, this phase of his life was lower-cased in the tributes paid him here. Lovejoy was principally praised as a defender of the freedom of the press and it was held that he gave his life for that principle.
George Otis Smith, chairman of the Colby College (of which Lovejoy was one of the earliest graduates) board of trustees, who described the martyr's life, asserted: "It is to be clearly noted that the principle for which Lovejoy gave his life was the freedom of the press. Slavery was only the issue upon which he claimed the right to speak."
Thus Lovejoy's white admirers to-day apparently distort his aims with the claim that if there had been no slavery. Lovejoy would have selected some other issue upon which to give his life in behalf of the freedom of the press.
WEEK ENDING JUNE 1, 1935
14 Demands; and Retorms
Mussolini was insisting that Ethiopia did not deserve to be a member of the League because there were still slaves in that country. Haile Selassie answered by issuing a decree not only forbidding the slave trade, but freeing 5,000,000 so-called slaves, just one million more than Abraham Lincoln freed.
Furthermore, in response to the Italian charge that Ethiopia does not know how to manage her own affairs, revised his tax system, equalizing taxes throughout the land and paving the way for increasing the government's resources.

Makes Plans Known
Most important, the emperor placed his announcements on a bulletin board from which the entire world could read them.
At the outset of difficulties between the two countries, Ethiopia sought arbitration with Italy. But no, the Italian dictator, would not consider negotiating with such a country. Ethiopia must be punished first. Tribute was demanded and a sage to the Italian flag. Ethiopia refused.
Ethiopia pressed the matter before the League and Mussolini, rather than have the League consider the question agreed to appoint negotiators. But even after this promise, he neglected to do so and only last week when Ethiopia was crowding the League, did Mussolini name the Italian members of the commission supposed to study differences between the two countries. Ethiopia immediately named her representatives; an American and a Frenchman, in order to guarantee an impartial report, Mussolini, suspecting that the Italian representatives would not be able to "put anything over" disinterested outside members of the commission, immediately objected, insisting that Ethiopians be appointed, so that nobody would ever learn of the tricks the Italians intend to try.
Mussolini's Brazen Demand
Later, he made the brazen demand that Ethiopia submit to division into three zones of influence, one English one French, one Italian, with all the fertile part of the country, suitable for Italian immigration under the Italian influence. Ethiopia's reply is known in advance.
Up until a month ago, Mussolini had expended $37,000,000 to obtain that salute to the Italian flag. Recently, $25,000,000 more was voted for the East African campaign. $62,000,000 in all. Yet Italy declines to pay the United States one cent on the $800,000,000 war debt she owes.

Porto Rico desires the status of a state and the Porto Rican delegate to Congress. Santiago Iglesias, has introduced a bill to that end. Hawaii also wishes to be a state and her delegate, Samuel W. King, has introduced a bill on the subject.
The same is true of Alaska.
Last year, the lynchers of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, after the governor had sent troops into one county, insisted that they be allowed to separate from Western Maryland and continue their lynching parties.
And some of the residents of the Black Hill territory of South Dakota parts of Montana and Wyoming, would set up a state of their own to be known as "Absaroka."
The thing has been done, of course, as in the cases of Virginia and West Virginia in 1861 and North and South Dakota in 1889.
But before a new state can be formed, the consent of the people in the sections affected must be obtained; the consent of the legislatures of the states affected, and the approval of Congress.
The Negro Forty-ninth Staters might put the new star in the flag if they could succeed in obtaining all these consents—W. WHITE.
COLORED SINGERS DO WELL
ON AMATEUR PROGRAMS
Amateur hours on the radio have won the entire nation and through these hours, especially that of Major Bowes, managing director of the Capitol Theatre, several outstanding colored singers have won contracts for stage and radio work. Included in these are Clyde Barrow, a notable voice, baritone and Miss Rea Parada, a Chicago singer, whose rendition of the difficult aria from "Forzia de Destino" Sunday equaled that of many well know opera stars. Major Bowes is impartial in his criticism of his performers and his comments at the end of each broadcast bring much hope to the singers.
Not only does he give colored singers and performers opportunity on his radio hour, but his Capitol Theatre: long one of the outstanding theatres of the country, has always been the leading theatre giving chances to colored stars
Among those who have sung for Major Bowes, at his theatre are Jules Bledsoe, Etta Moten and Edward Matthews. They also have appeared on his Capitol Family Theatre broadcast. Singers and actors who have performed for Major Bowes are loud in their praise of him and declare he is one of the finest prducers to work with.

Government employees are very much concerned over the recent decision of the Supreme Court out-lawing NRA and declaring that the Congress of the United States conferred on the President of the United States unconstitutional authority by illegally delegating law-making powers to him, and further, that Federal control of intra-state business, through the NRA is invalid.
The jobs of approximately five thousand employees are now in jeopardy as result of the smashing decision of our highest Tribunal, among whom are such liberals as, John L. Donovan, Henry Rhine. Jessica Buck. Marguerite Stabler and Messrs. Berrail and Blough of the legal staff, all of whom have demonstrated their liberalism and square trade unionism, and their opposition to racial discrimination without equivocation.
The loss of these Federal employees would be a distinct and irreparable loss to the American Federation of Government Employees. This columnist predicts that NRA will be resuscitated by the immediate enactment of legislation which will pass the scrutiny of the Supreme Court of the United States, or perhaps by an additional constitutional amendment.
The latter will be avoided if possible since it will involve considerable delay in having it ratified by three-fourths of the States whose legislatures are not now in session. Nevertheless, the President will take the lead, with his characteristic courage, in bringing order out of the present chaotic condition precipitated by the far reaching decision of the Supreme Court.
Government employees will be glad to learn that President Claude Babcock of the American Federation of Government Employees has been discharged from Mt. Atto Hospital where he was confined on account of an appendectomy, and is now well on the road to recovery. It will be recalled that both he and Congressman Cochran landed in the hospital fighting over the notorious Section 213 of the so-called Economy Act. One of the first things that Mr. Babcock undertook shortly after his discharge from the hospital was, the question of longevity credit for Government employees under the new efficiency rating system recently inaugurated by the Civil Service Commission. The outline of the plan apparently does not show that employees of long service will receive any additional credit for it. Under the old system, ratings were increased somewhat on the basis of service of employees as result of an executive order by President Coolidge, and later amended by President Roosevelt. The Civil Service Commission, while taking the matter under advisement, admits that the amended order is no longer in effect under the new rating system. Mr. Babcock's letter to the Commission is as follows: "Information is respectfully requested as to the method by which longevity credits to employees with several years of service in connection with the establishment of the new efficiency rating plan.
"Information is also respectfully requested as to the method by which separation lists will be made up under the new efficiency rating plan."
The most effective way to memorialize our honored dead whether they be civilian or military is to serve the living. Prior to 1868 the custom of observing Memorial Day was practically unknown in the United States. It was during that year that General Logan of Civil War fame, issued his famous order No. 11 setting aside May 30th as the day for memorializing the dead of the Union forces who had just forced the secessionists back in the Union at the point of a bayonet.
As a idea of memorializing the soldier dead gained momentum, the non-military hit upon the idea of a joint observance with the military and so it has come down to us to-day.
The formal observance of Memorial Day however, means very little if we are to conclude that our duty is done by a mere perfunctory observance by strewing flowers and making patriotic speeches with meaningless pose before our honored dead.
To the average Government employee Memorial Day is not unlike any other National Holiday, but is just a day for recreation and outing and a chance for them to attempt to escape from themselves in an effort to find selfish pleasures, rather than a day for serious thought and meditation upon the significance of the holiday being observed.
This is equally true of persons not in the employ of the Federal service. A few lines from the World War poem, "Flanders Field," seem to admirably throw out the challenge to the living:
"To you from falling hands we throw the torch.
And if ye break faith with us who die.
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Field."
The Lyric Voice
An Occasional Column of Verse Conducted by
COLEMAN G. DUCKETT
Here is a little genre picture, drawn with the quick. definite strokes by a poet who sees life, unbemused by too many confusing metaphors:
BEFORE DAY BLUES
All day long he moaned and played
A melancholy song.
A serenade to a dark brown maid
Who'd gone and done him wrong;
Here eyes were stars, her teeth
were pearls.
That love—and leave their lovers;
And through the open door I caught
A sob of hopeless fears....
Love must be love when dearly bought
To a melody of tears.
The morning came and with a bow.
He smiled and bade. "Good morrow"
I wish that he would teach me how
To sing away my sorrow!
Miss Fairchild shows the real lyric in this exquisite little song:
If I had lain long buried, and anew Burst from the sod,
Laughing: as the bowers do.
After knowing God,
And after learning all that heaven May teach of earth,
Ordained to spread my fragrant leaven
On greatest worth—
I think, if some brown bard should pass
And see me there,
I'd whisper, "Pluck, and wear me as
Thy boutonniere!"
Again, the age-old truth of "not wanting it after you get it" is exemplified here with clear realization:
By Kathryn Mills
Ah. here is rainbow's end, here is my treasure.
The pot of gold was not a cruel decoy;
Here are high hopes fulfilled and every pleasure.
At last is mine—I hunger to enjoy;
But then the touch of gold is not alluring
To hands which long for warmth and not the cold
White sheen of metal which, howe'er enduring.

She has left us. She will always be with us. She was a most normal person: modest woman unassuming leader, a most congenial hostess—and as a crusader she was full of courage and fight.
It was but 25 years ago at the first N.A.A.C.P. annual convention in Chicago, when I first met her; it was at the last N.A.A.C.P. conference in Chicago when I last saw her.
Her mind was quick and progressive to the last. In her early 70's she was still young of soul. She understood.
She was a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People during all of its life till her death.
When the blessed D. A. R. black-listed such eminent leaders as Jane Addame. John Haynes Holmes and W. E. B. DuBois a few years ago they made the rest of us who were put on the same blacklist, feel as if we were listed in an Honor Ro

The annual exhibition of work by students in the art department of Howard University is on display at the Art Gallery of the university and will be shown until June 30. Consisting chiefly of practical problems executed by students throughout the school year, each medium is handled with a surety indicating a thorough knowledge of the craft. At Howard University courses are given in drawing, painting, design, and the crafts. And each group is represented in the present exhibit.
Notable among the exhibits is the work in design. How strongly modern art has been grasped in academic circles can be seen in the various experiments in abstract design, both in black and white and color. Simple triangles, circles and rectangular shapes form the basis for elementary compositions which, without pictorial content, still contain considerable interest from a purely artistic or esthetic point of view. Other abstractions done by the students are suggested by African mask motifs. notes in music, or the locomotive wheels.
During the school year a series of exhibitions are held at the Art Gallery of Howard University, and from these students are able to do research work in the various forms of art. The exhibition of "Chinese Textile" was used by student to make water color translations of the original designs. Students of prints had the opportunity to study original etchings, engravings and other forms of the graphic arts in the exhibition of "Well Known Prints from the Collection of Lessing J. Rosenwald."
Gallery hours are week days. 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 to 12.

That was a pretty thing Miss Lulu Childers did the other Sunday morning as she left the chair director's stand in Rankin Chapel and quiet, found a seat. So simple and quick a gesture it was, many may not have seen it. Just the tenderest touch of her hand on a singer's shoulder. But the singer (Miss Carolyn V. Grant) saw and understood that Miss Childers was trying to tell her that her solo work in the anthem, "Gallia" by Goundon was ever so sweetly done. For Miss Grant smiled back at the director.
Why wear a coat when a luxurious fox fur scarf will not only keep out the cold but add unbeatable dash to one's outfit. So Mys. C. Herbert Marshall of 2712 P Street, Northwest (the lovable Betty) must have reasoned the other day when she flung her warm neckpiece around her shoulders at just the right angle and thereby turned her tan, form-fitting ensemble into a smart sort of something that simply made you look around the second time.
"Shall I get out my Hudson today" or "Shall I call up the Riding Club for a horse?" That was the question that puckered the brow of one of the best dressed maculine motorists in the 1100

It's a good thing Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley of 122 S Street, Northwest, got a lot of pretty tributes on Mother's Day. For she was forgotten altogether on Circus Day. At least she wasn't remembered by Reginald (her young son). But you couldn't really blame the boy, his father. Dr. J. A. Tinsley, came all the way from Weldon, N. C., to take him to the circus. And what's a couple of sisters, a brother or even a mother when there's a jolly bid Dad and a cicus around.
Even if you hadn't known that you were going to hear "Bing" sing in "Mississippi" at the Lincoln's Theatre last week you would have gone there anyway just to gladly hand over your quarter to the cute little, new little ticket-taker, Mrs. Daniel Pittman).
There was much hustling and bustling about in the Brown home last Sunday (Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown of 4223 Clay Street). And all because the Brownes were getting ready to out-match the hosted Baltimore hospitality with the quiet D. C. kind. Charming Miss Nellie Major and the popular Dr. Boyle of the Maryland city were scheduled to be their dinner guests.

Almost as new as the dew on tomorrow's rose is the white coat Milady is wearing. Miss Thelma Stafford and her sister were attractive examples of the mode the other day when they wore long white coats over their white embroidery-trimmed dresses.
Members of "Junior Matrons Club" doing their best to look happy, and failing utterly: One of the best-loved among 'em (Mrs. Florence Brown of 1710 Second Street, Northwest is ill in a hospital. And until she's safe and sound at home again there'll not be many smiles among the "Junior Matrons."
In the matter of "color for Milady's wardrobe, everybody knows that the "Blue Brigade" has been making terrible inroads into the ranks of the "Black." It may be too, that in a week or so, the "White avalanche" will have swept away every trace of black and blue. Be this as it may, Mrs. Vivian Crawley of Deanwood put over a big one for the "blacks" the other. Saturday night. She wore to Mrs. Howard Mackey's Bridge party on Park Road a long black dress with a white, frilly collar. Maybe the bright note in her earrings and the silver trim in her slippers helped Mrs. Crawley pile up the points. At any rate the guests are still talking about the slim, black-clad Mrs. Crawley, and the pretty way she looked.
It's picnic time and the members of the Boston Club have been busy watching the weather-man's antics. (If the fickle fellow hadn't revised his strange reports and let these last few May days bring in their share of heat, some picnic-bound Eestonian might have died from sheer anxiety.) Visions of thin-skinned "Frankfurt's" (on rye) and pies and cakes and so forth are already filling the day dreams of Lieut Oxley and Messrs. Martin and Whaley and Lee. While Mrs. Portia Daniel and Misses Gertrude McBrown and Lois Jones are thinking how nice it would be if they could drag around to the picnic grounds a luscious pot of beans.
It's the same with the New Orleans University Club, Messrs. Boyd A. Clark, Samuel Pierre Robert Bates, Charles Cormish and Andrew Samuels are watching the signs in the seafood shops, and as soon as they indicate deviled crabs, they'll rush to get their orders in. And in the homes of Doctors Joseph Brazier, T. C. Smith, W. T. Parker, H. C. Beldon, and Fred Jolie, the women folks are putting up jars of jam to go with chicken and salad and ham. So watch your step and whatever you do, don't plug up the path of an N. O. U. For it's picnic time in old D. C. and the N. O. U.'s are one their way.
If you'd like to know the "whys" of all the celebrating in the George W. Murphy household (2207 Thirteenth Street, Northwest. ask "Junior." He only arrived a few days ago but they say he has already told his mother (the former Myrtle Gates) a lot of interesting things.
Mrs. Lucille Kelly of 138 Seaton Place, Northwest, is so slim that she hardly takes up any room at all. And still she's trying to get thinner. Maybe she wants to be able to sit on a wall or a shelf, and then there'll be that much more room for her friends and your friends who will be at her house next Friday night to dance, play bridge and dine with the Lincolnite Club.
In at least a score or more of Washington homes there wasn't much sleeping done after 1:30 am., last Tuesday morning. As scant half hour before, a happy group of young college boys and girls jumped from a Southern train into their loved ones' wailing arms. Some had diplomas in their pockets. All had interesting tales to tell of life in boarding school in Alabama. Not one little story could wait. And so, on until day break and later, eyes remained wide open and lips kept repeating tales of college days (its pranks, its pains, its pleasures).
Among the graduates (Oakwood Junior College, Huntsville, Ala.), are Messrs. Corneljus Harris, Christopher Gray, Thomas Cox, Mark Cox and Misses Thelma Brewner, Ernestine Scales, Mildred Anderson, Marion, Stafford and Georgia Harris.

Human Nature
In Your Milk
Y &
THERE is nothing miraculous
or supernatural about the
milk business,
Its stock-in-trade is trans-
ported, processed, and deliv-
ered by an organization of
men and women.
They are thoroughly human in
their sensibilities and reac-
tions,
They like to be treated fairly;
they expect to treat others
fairly.
‘They live by creating and keep-
ing the good will of the pub-
lic they serve.
They know the milk business
through and through.
They are proud of it. They
welcome visitors in search
of light and leading. They
keep continuous open house.
The milk bysiness is not done
with mirrors. Every act is
performed in full view of
every one who takes the
trouble to observe operations
at first hand. There is noth-
ing up our sleeves.
‘We would like for you to see
the human side of the milk
business. *
Whether or not you are from
Missouri, come and be shown.
Tf you can’t come in person,
write us sy questions in
your mind. It will bea re
uine pleasure to respond as
informatively as we would

SyAnGards Of ie cream purity
and quality have recently been ap-
proved by some of America’s lead:
ing food selentists now connected
with the Sealtest System of Labo-
ritories.
These Sealtest Laboratories—
hended by food scientists of nation-
al reputation—were formed by a
group of ice cretm manufacturers
to ritise ice cream standards and
improve the quality of their pro-
ducts, in the light of the latest
scientific knowledge of foods’ and
diet.
As a member of the Sealtest Sy-
stem, the Breyer Compiny threw
‘open its plants to the inspection of
these experts. It was found that
Breyers Ice Cream met all of the
new standards set by this organi-
zation of scientists.
The Breyer Ice Cream Company
has always maintained rigid speci-
fications for the. making of fine ice
cretm. Nothing but real cream,
sugar and natural fruits and other
flavorings are ever used. Further-
more, these fine ingredients are
correctly balanced to insure a
smooth, delicious ice cream of max-
imum wholesomeness and digesti-
site. as

D. C. BOXER SEEKS NEW TRIAL
Young Harry Wills, Under Sing Sing Sentence, Asks Funds to Appeal
Obie Price, known in Washington sport, circles as Young Harry Wills, boxer, recently convicted and sentenced to serve 25 years in Sing Sing Penitentiary on a charge of manslaughter. is seeking financial aid to appeal the sentence.
In a special communication from New York, early this week, Mrs. Charles Price, wife of the former District mittman, advised the Tribune that Samuel Leibowitz, white attorney, famous for his work in the celebrated Scottsboro Case had been retained for the case but that insufficient funds had delayed an appeal for a new trial.
A total of $150 must be raised by June 3, Mrs. Price stated, to carry the case to a higher court. She expressed sincere love for the convicted ex-boxer and declared "Harry is not the guilty man."
Young Wills, once among the outstanding District fictitiouses, was arrested with two companions in connection with the fatal shooting of Henry Jones in New York several months ago. The other men turned State's evidence and were subsequently released. In the pockets of one of them, Bill Harrie, was found the ring of the dead man and two cartridges. However. Young Wills was tried and convicted of the charge and later sentenced to the long term in Sing Sing. Efforts to secure a new trial for him have been delayed by the lack of funds and contributions are being received by his wife at 142 West 131 Street, Apartment 1F, New York City. Wills' only relative in Washington is an aging grandmother in the 500 block of Morton Street, Northwest.
Court Awards Child to Father Pending Divorce
Theodore N. Webb won the right of the custody of his 11-year-old daughter. Margery, when the court awarded him the guardianship of the child Friday.
Mrs. Carmille A. Webb, 1856 Third Street, Northwest, the mother, sought the guardianship of the child and supervision of the premises on Third Street, pending the trial of a divorce suit between the husband and wife. The home, valued at $6,000, was deeded to the child by her father.
The father, was represented by the law firm of Brooks and Morris while Hanwork and Henry appeared for the mother.
Rewarded for 35 Years of Efficient Service in Government Bureau
For the first time in the history of the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce a Negro civil service "Career man" has been promoted to a position of responsibility, one that carries with it full authority to disseminate all available statistical data relating to the Negro population, and to sign official correspondence.
Charles E. Hall, a native and a citizen of Illinois, has been an employee of the bureau for 35 years and it was in recognition of his long and efficient service that the Secretary of Commerce, Daniel C. Roper, and the Director of the Census, William L. Austin, recently appointed Mr. Hall whom they have known personally for many years to the newly created position, "Specialist in Negro Statistics." Particularly gratifying is this appointment to the members of the Advisory Committee on Negro Affairs whose endorsement, activity and interest in this promotion was a worthwhile asset to Mr. Hall who has cooperated with the committee and also with the New Deal emergency units.
Work to be Published
During recent months Mr. Hall has been compiling for the bureau a report on the progress of the Negro race in continental United States from the statistics of the general censuses of 1920 and 1930 and from subsequent annual reports The copy for this report "Negroes in the United States: 1920-1932"

These two volumes cover a period of 142 years and contain all of the most important statistical data relating to the Negro race since the first United States census taken in 1790. They are of great value to educators, public officials, and those who are interested in the study of racial groups of our country.

The matter of the Logan appointment was first scheduled for April 17. Four meetings have been held since that date but no appointment has been made. Discussion of the matter had been confined to closed-door sessions until Thursday when Attorney Charles H. Houston, board member, sought to bring the appointment into open meeting.
However, after suggestion by Mrs. Henry Grattan, white, that the matter be deferred because of the absence of Dr. Hayden Johnson, president of the board, it was decided to postpone the discussion until June 5.

Miss Alice Hill Charged With Prejudice in Administration by Alliance REFUSES TO NAME COLORED SUPERVISOR Group to Take Fight to Commissioners for Her Removal
The immediate dismissal of Miss Alice Hill, director of Emergency Relief Public Assistance Division of the District of Columbia, will be asked of the District Commissioners by committee of ministers who charge that Miss Hill is unfitted for the position because of her superiority complex in her relationship to Negroes. The decision of the ministers was reached Tuesday morning following a conference with the director last week. At that time a committee representing the entire membership of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, in a conference with Miss Hill, was told that Negroes must accept what the white man gives him and be satisfied.
To Seek Director's Scalp
The committee consisted of the Revs. R. W. Brooks, W. H. Jernagin, R. A. Fairley and William E. Taylor, the latter vice dean of the Howard University Law School. A called meeting of the executive committee of the alliance was held Tuesday at the Y.M.C.A. at which time the Rev. Mr. Brooks recommended that a special meeting of all the ministers be held and the resignation of Miss Hill be demanded of the District Commissioners.
The Rev. Mr. Brooks, in a statement said that as a result of the conference with Miss Hill, "I therefore conclude that Miss Hill is unfit for the position she now holds, in that she has a superiority complex in her relationship to Negroes which makes it impossible for her to deal impartially with the largest element of the emergency relief.
Charges Prejudice
"Furthmore, in my opinion, she is unqualified for holding the job in that she is very definitely prejudiced against Negroes, and, therefore, is seeking to create in the District of Columbia a southern pattern. viz. that the Negro's place is where the white man assigns it, and he should be satisfied to remain there." The called meeting of the ministers will be held at the Y.M.C.A on June 10. Following the meeting, the ministers will seek a conference with the District Commis-

SIONers who, at a previous conference, told the ministers that no discrimination would be brooked in the relief set-up here.
The Rev. Mr. Fairley stated that Miss Hill said that Washington is a southern city and she was unable to change the social conditions here. Miss Hill is also quoted as saying that she would not appoint a colored supervisor where white people would be served. "Whites will continue whether you like it or not." Miss Hill was quoted as having told the ministers.
Banneker Center in Northwest Washington has all white persons in supervisory positions, although 90 per cent of the clients served from this center are colored. Miss Hill refuses to recommend colored to the positions now held by whites.
The minister's plan to carry Miss Hill's attitude to the commissioners again and if a satisfactory adjustment is not made, the fight will be carried to the President. Hundreds of ministers are getting ready to march on the District Building in the near future.

D.C. BRANCH OF NAACP SCORED FOR LACK OF PROGRAM
Failure to Function Charged in Report to Body by Employment Group
Claiming that the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been inactive for a number of years and only recently it has shown any life, the Employment Committee severely criticised the Executive Committee at a recent meeting of the branch.
The spurt of new life was taken on under the leadership of Mrs. Virginis McGuire, president, whose resignation will become effective June 1. Mrs. McGuire held office for 18 months and resigned because she failed to gain the support of the Executive Committee, according to a letter she handed in to the branch several weeks ago.
In scoring the Executive Committee for laxity and failure to present a program the Employment Committee presented the following report which was approved by the body:
"If we are successful in getting the organizations of the city to support the program as outlined, we must organize the 2,000 members of the N.A.A.C.P. as that they will want to do something constructive. How can we expect expectations from the ministers when our own members are not alive to the activities of the N.A.A.C.P. 7. As an example the commissioners were not thoroughly around until the ministers representing over 80,000 people approach us. We want to coordinate with ministers upon the very strong appeal they made.
Cease Self-aggrandizement
"In an organization as important as the N.A.A.C.P. should be during such a crisis in assisting the advancement of colored people in D.C. we should as individual as possible work through the organization but rather work for the race and the organization, for only as each individual in the race advances can you yourself advance, and I am sure others as chairmen of committees would like to know from the Executive Committee what is the policy of the N.A.A.C.P. in D.C. The N.A.A.C.P. is the Executive Committee planning to assist the various committees of the N.A.A.C.P.?
2. Are you constantly planning a program for the N.A.A.C.P. so that your program fits into the changing social order?
3. What is your policy in working with other organizations? For as it has been manifested a small group is able to accomplish nothing.
4. What is a survey of conditions in D.C. in relation to discrimination of colored people so that you can give the chairman of committees the benefits of such a study?
5. Do you know how many people are manifested in D.C.?
"What percentage employed are colored in the government department? Federal and District?"
"What type of work?"
"6. Have you thoroughly interested the people of D.C. in your program?"
"7. Have you thoroughly supported your workable? So that it very strongly supports the various committees?"
Questions Interest
"7. Have you aroused the colored people that they are aware of their plight in D. Egypt?"
"Are you aware of their needs?
"8. After the work relief program is ended what do you propose as a plan for permanent work for these thousands of colored people who are on relief?
"What will they do?
"What will they go? Can you assist in any way since your program is one of advancement?
"2. Are you in contact with the 2,000 members of the N.A.A.C.P, so that they can assist the organization in permanent work?
"10. Are these members so alive to the needs and wants of the organization that they can interest other citizens in D.C.?
"The N.A.A.C.P, in the past for a number of years has apparently been successful, but not have such cooperative and planning executive, as I mentioned above, to assist them it is useless to even attempt to put over a program for the N.A.A.C.P.
president, the N.A.A.C.P, has taken on new life, which is evidenced by the constructive program attempted by the various committees. This has been made possible by the splendid cooperation and engagement of her personal assistance given for the advancement of N.A.A.C.P."
