HOTCHA PARTY ENDS IN SLAYING Two Wives Jail Howard Graduate Carter Woodson Says Close up 75 per cent of Negro Colleges Says Thought of Basing Education of Negro Upon His Own History Is So Distasteful to Most That They Wish Woodson Were Dead WHAT ABYSSINIA MEANS TO YOU A statement by Frank Parrish, white, assistant to Joseph Keanan, chief of the Criminal Division Department of Justice, that American people of color have no vital interest in the possible fate of Abbyssinia, because there is no connection between them and Negroes, is one of that kind of statements made by dominant groups to divide other peoples so as to more easily overcome them. It is hard for some people to realize how other men bolster up their weak positions by making statements which seem to be true. Desperate men boast of their superiority to instill fear into others, and others spread ideas which the foolish come to believe to their sorrow. The English did that to the Indians in early American settlement, turning them against the French and then against each other. Thus the English took this continent. It is a trick of politicians seeking votes. It has worked and still works among the American citizens of color. The dominant groups carry such prestige by their gifts and grants to each other, that any statement they make respecting other peoples carries great weight. The foolish believe even against their own leaders who have common cause. It kent slavery alive; prevented John Brown's raid; lost the franchise to southern colored Americans; wrecked many of the financial ventures of the group, and is the despair of leaders among the people. Negroes are deserting the counsel of the Bible just because skeptics paid to distract the attention of the masses provide stories, arguments, plays, songs and staged instances of pagan-success and pleasure. Location and Language of Abvissinians Africa is like any other country in that it is cut-up by natural divisions of land and water, climate, and plant and animal life. Across from east on the Atlantic Ocean run irregular lines marking the country into zones predominated by camels, bananas, grains, and cattle just as our own timber and fruit lines run in corrugated fashion across the continent. Most slave ships brought captives from the East coast to America, north and south, thus there were more than 200 different language elements among colored people here in the year 1800. Abyssinia is on the point of the extreme northeast of the great continent. It is marked by mountains, some 15,000 feet high with deep gorges 13,000 feet deep, many large lakes and swift-flowing mountain torrents. It almost touches Arabia across the Red Sea. It is at the end of Egypt, close by water to Jerusalem, and extends into the interior almost to the Sudan. European civilization and conquest of Africa have left it the unconquered empire because of the fierce love of liberty among a people to whom freedom is more than life, and particularly because of the inaccessibility of the country naturally. Few, if any men have crossed Abyssinia. It is undoubtedly the result of Arabian crossing with African, and its connection with the neighboring African peoples through the centuries has resulted in a most mixed racial strain. High class Abyssinians speak Amharic, a language traced to most ancient origin, but the other peoples speak mixed dialects just as they worship mixed gods and practice mixed customs. One group, Talasha, Black Jews, is a group distinct and creating a caste that marries within its own limits because it claims to trace its ancestry from the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon whom she visited. East Africans speak a variety of tongues all sprung from the Sudanese as a basic language. Europeans call them "True Negroes" while they class the Egyptians and Abyssinians with the Aryan peoples, now known to be a myth created and adopted to breed pride of race and lead to conquest. Effects of Christianity Effects of Christianity Though the Abyssinians are reported and ruins have been found as old as 3,200 years before Christ, they were brought under the influ- ence of DOSERIN.

It will be more of a self-congratulatory exercise that the founder and those who have co-operated with him have had the courage to struggle so long against tremendous odds.

PRIMARY NOT TO BAR NEGRO VOTE Arlington County Democratic Leader Upholds Right of Race Arlington Bureau Negroes will not be barred from the Arlington County Democratic primaries, according to the Chronicle, leading newspaper of the county, whose editor is Crandall Mackey, nationally known lawyer and Democrat with offices in Washington, and leader in Arlington and Virginia politics. It was rumored that Negroes participating in the primaries on August 6 would draw the fire of Democratic opposition following a perusal of the reactions of affiliated political groups to the Supreme Court ruling validating the exclusion of Negroes from Democratic primaries in Texas. In denying that Negroes would be barred, Attorney Mackey says: "Any Negro quixified to vote at the general election in November, may vote in the Democratic primary, if he agrees, as the white voters agree, to support the persons selected by the primary as candidates of the Democratic party. No interference or obstruction can be interposed when a Negro walks to the polls to vote in the primary.

Has No Thinking Class. Why do the Negroes of this country like their slavery? Well, in the first place, they have never known anything else. The so-called freedom mentioned in the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment merely showed a step in the right direction. Very little has been done since that time to emancipate the mind of the Negro by which real freedom may be attained. On the other hand, however, a systematic program has been worked out and promoted in enslaving the mind of the Negro. Most of the so-called enlightenment allowed the Negro has been through miseducation in the interest of the oppressor.

Close up to think, it has not learned to do so. Having no thinking class, the Negroes of this country have not mastered the fundamentals of life in producing and providing opportunities for artisans, mechanics, manufacturers and merchants who must lay the foundation for a culture marked by great achievements in politics, history, literature, philosophy, and art. The greater things of life are practically closed to us, and we have settled down to picking up what the others cast off. We have a large supply of teachers and preachers; but, with the exception of a few criminally selfish religious racketeers, we advance among the masses no thought or doctrine except what is handed over to us by our oppressors. The Negro leaders LOUISVILLE, Ky.-For the first time in Kentucky's history, a Negro is to be elected to a seat in the State Legislature. In the Fifty-eighth Legislative District, which takes in Louisville's "Black Belt," the only candidates in both the Democratic and Republican primaries are Negroes. No Japanese Arms for Italy CHICAGO (ANP) — A Chicago Tribune dispatch form Tokyo reports that the houseof Mitsui, Japan's largest business and industrial concern, rejected Monday orders received for light arms and 100,000 pairs of shoes for Italian troops. The newspaper Yomiuri declared that "certain quarters" told the Mitsui concern "Japan's business morals should preclude selling arms to persecute Ethiopia." 75 per are not Negro thinkers. Their minds have been Caucasianized by their traductions that they may never depart from the groove into which they have been directed. Our public schools have been and are now doing well in giving the youth a chance to master the fundamentals, but in the colleges and universities where much more freedom could be exercised the so-called educated Negroes produced ingloriously miss the mark. Their education, with the exception of taking some notice of the Negro as a problem, is based upon inculcating an appreciation of the Hebrew, the Greek, the Latin, and the Teuton. And they have learned to like this lo-p-sided education which results in making the Negro have the greatest contempt for himself and the aspirations of the race to which he belongs.

The thought of basing the education of the Negro primarily upon his own culture, upon his own history and status, is so distasteful to the majority of our colleges and universities that they wish that Carter G. Woodson were dead and his work buried with him. For this reaction there should be no surprise. The miseducation of the Negro race has been thoroughly carried out. The element in control of the race has great reason for rejoicing. They have thousands of miseducated Negroes to promote their cause.

Lee, known in legal and fraternity circles as "Bus," was arrested by Detective Thomas Sweeney on a warrant sworn out by his first wife, Mrs. Bessie Arrington Lee, of the 1400 block of Twelfth Street, Northwest. Police say he admitted having married a second time but claimed he had divorced Mrs. Lee No. 1. Wed In Maryland According to information given the Tribune, Lee married his first wife, Mrs. Beesie Arrington Lee, September 22, 1932, in Maryland. On June 10, last, Lee allegedly married a second time. On the latter occasion the ceremony took place in the District and the bride was Miss Vashit Norwood. At the time of the second marriage, Lee had been estranged from his first wife for over a year. Lee avers that he obtained a Los Angeles divorce from his first wife. The accused husband filed suit for divorce in Los Angeles courts in December, 1934. Papers for the divorce were served on Mrs. Lee No. 1, but she refused to sign them thereby invalidizing the divorce. While license, for the second marriage involving Miss Norwood was seen in local papers, Mrs. Lee Lee No. 1 contacted Los Angeles authorities, through her attorney, L Melendez King, and found that no divorce had been granted in California courts.

NEW YORK (ANP) — Prof. Willis Huggins, outstanding educator and writer, will leave shortly for Geneva, Switzerland, to make a plea on behalf of Ethiopia before the League of Nations, representing the Provisional Committee for the Defense of Ethiopia First Cousin to Haile Selassie Grants First Interview By TED YATES (For ANP) Editor's Note—We present an exclusive release to the Associated Negro Press written by our N.Y. correspondent, Ted Yates, who after an interview (a private one at that) with Princess Tamanya, first cousin to Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, writes in his own breezy style the authorized news of New York's most colorful woman—and it wouldn't be worth reading if this wasn't written in the gay, wise-cracking Ted Yates manner. NEW YORK—Before Tony goes 'over the top' somebody should put him (or Mussolini, for that matter) 'hep' to the situation over there: Over there being Abyssinia—Ethiopia to you! Good luck must be coming my way. For the first time in my fourteen years in this particular field, I met up with an honest-to-goodness Princess. Now, if the war becomes a sure-thing (the one between Italy and Ethiopia, I mesn) and I am assigned to the 'promised land,' you can bet Haile and myself will have a gin rickey on the house. But, let's get back to the Princess. He, full name is Rassari Heshit Tamanya. That 'ya' as the only part that 'got unassisted. When I asked the rather teasing brownskin her age, she blushed. I made it understood that this was only an interview. W manlike, the Princess balked. "All these people t'er put their own figure," she said in broken English. Chappy Gardner, newspaperman, and American representative for the princess, at this time, informed me that the colorful figure who had been swamped by press and newsreels was exactly 27. She did look about 26 or 27. I would have hit it on the head at that. Brother in Royal Army Her birthplace, Wallaga, in Ethiopia. She is of Hebraic Falasba faith. A direct descendant of Solomon.

The case in question was the beating of Adam Avie on July 2 by a mob at Villa Platte, La. Avie who was employed for more than 12 years by a Mrs. P. M. Reed of Villa Platte, got into an argument with a white wood dealer from whom he was making a purchase for his mistress at her direction. The argument over the price of the wood so angered the white dealer that he charged Avie with insulting his wife, and Avie was jailed. It is reported that several white people in the town who knew of Avie's excellent reputation attempted to put up nondis for his release but were prevented from doing so. Instead, a mob broke into the jail, took Avie into the woods, and whipped him with a brass studded leather strap, leaving him for dead. He was found later, treated by a doctor, and later taken to New Orleans. Capt. Harry Dean Dies CHICAGO (ANP) -Capt.

"And, your love affairs, Princess?" But, at this, Chappy Gardner nudget me and uttered, "—now, Ted, no scandal snooping." Fond of Reading Newspapers, magazines and books are read to the princess. Often she reads them. Her English is not perfect. Reading is much easier than writing with her. When the conditions are more settled, she will return to her native Ethiopia. Asked what she liked best in Harlem Princess Tamanya replied, "The churches." "Nite life?" "No." Though I enjoyed it well, I wanted to get away from the hotel now. A crowd had gathered outside the reception room of the Broadway Central Hotel at Broadway and Third Street in downtown New York. Not that I cared whether it was some of Mussolini's spies or no. I just wanted to get home in Harlem. As a parting shot, I asked the colorful native princess who was garbed in Turkish silk, (jewelled down to th' gill's) what she thought of the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis. "I meet heem before Carners fight—he nice. I like Want to see Bomber become biggest man." And, that's that. "Princess, you're okay, Good-bye and good-luck." I said. But it wasn't in the cards for me to get in the last word. The Princess smiled and sputtered out at "Yeah, man!" She's learning fast. TEXAS NEGROES PREFER AUTOS TO BATH TUBS Ownership of an automobile and a home equipped with electricity were reported in 1934 by more families in Austin, Texas, whose annual incomes for the preceding year were less than 11,000 than by consumers within any one of the six higher income classes, according to Claudius T. Murchison, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, in announcing the completion of the Austin study on "Consumer Use of Selected Goods and Services by Income Classes." Of special significance to Negroes are the following facts analysed by the Division of Negro Affairs, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce. Of the 274 Negro families studied, 11.4 per cent of all Negro families in Austin, none had an income in excess of $3,000 per year. Only 8 per cent had incomes in excess of $1,000; 34.7 per cent had incomes between $500 and $999; 55.1 per cent less than $500, and 2.2 per cent had no income at all. The average annual rent paid by Negroes was $110. Of the owner occupants, 34.3 per cent had one automobile each while for the tenants 22.6 per cent had one automobile each. It is very interesting to note that in contrast to these figures only 42.3 per cent of the Negro owner occupants, and only 17.5 of the Negro tenants had bath tubs in their homes. For the whites 75.1 per cent of the owner occupants, and 67.8 per cent of the tenants owned one or more automobiles, and 93.8 per cent of the former and 69 per cent of the latter had bath tubs.

We conceive our struggle to be for better conditions for all Americans in that it is a self-evident truth that there can be no lasting peace or justice for any race as long as one race can be exploited for racial, religious or other prejudices." "If the American Negro is to sustain himself in an effective existence in this country, and some day be lifted from the threat of slavery, it must be developed everywhere, not only interracial contacts in the field of labor, but also in the business world. We must realize that everywhere in America more attention be given by Negroes to independent and interracial ventures in the business world.

Agriculture Work Relief Act White Primary Education Roland Hayes to Remain in His Home Despite Brick Tossing Incident, as Duty to His Race By RICHARD O. BOYER BOSTON. Mass. — Standing before the shattered window, through which a stone had been thrown, apparently as protest against his Brookline residence, Roland Hayes, Negro singer who has sung before King George, recently discussed the Negro problem and his hope for his race. The jagged pane was sharp evidence that the problem he discussed was not an academic one. Although swift to absolve his neighbors, whom he described most pleasantly, he was inclined to agree with police that the rock which came hurtling through the pane last Friday night was the weapon of a gang of hoodlums who live near, rather than in, one of the most arithmatic of Boston suburbs. Refuses to Move He glanced at the splintered pane, and said, "It is well that I live here. While it is of slight importance to me where I live, it may perhaps have some slight importance to the race of which I am a member and to white people too. If I prove through my own life that a Negro can be queen dignified, and a neighbor ever governed by good taste and consideration, I shall prove that other Negroes can be the same sort of neighbors. No. I will not move a way. I believe that I am making some slight contribution to the solution of an important national problem." The man who Thursday night drew one of the largest audiences in history to Carnegie Hall, in New York and who has been described as "one of the greatest singers or his generation," was conservatively natty in dress. His diminutive figure was clad in a double-breasted suit of dark blue, a blue striped shirt blue tie, and a blue and white handkerchief slanted from the coap pocket of one whose parents were slaves. His pompador hair is powdered with gray above a wrinkled and ebony colored forehead. When he speaks in a voice pitched rather high, yet with the softness and the musical gradation peculiar to the Negro, he flings slim hands about in gestures almost Latin in their abandon. It is not that he is in articulate; it is rather that he finds his ideas too large and necesarily vague to reduce to speech and he can scarcely complete a sentenceence without seeking to give it added clarity through a manual gesture and the interrogation. "do you get what I mean?" "One of the difficulties," he said "of the Negro race in America is "The rights of Negroes in courts of law are today gravely endangered. We pledge our support to the defense of Jess Hollis in Oklahoma; Brown, Elington and Shields in Mississippi; Angelo Herndon in Georgia; the Scottsboro boys in Alabama and less aggression upon the sovereignty of other nations, and we vigorously urge the Petitioner to end the growth of States." "We shall the growth of courageous opinion in the south, especially as seen among younger, more intelligent southerners, both white and colored, and in the press. We pledge ourselves to do all we can in the development of enlightened self-interest among the increasing number of white southerners who see they can never progress as long as the Negro is oppressed. Labor We welcome the growth of labor consciousness but we again warn the leadership of organized white labor, especially American Federation of Labor and railroad brotherhoods, they can never attain freedom for their groups by climbing on the backs of black labor. We urge all workers, white and black, to speed up the fight against the injustice of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Legal Defense "We urge the responsible officers in all states and in the federal judiciary system to give full recognition to the right of Negro citizens to be admitted to other citizens, without evasion, subterfuge, or procrastination. We further urge all Negroes who are brought before juries to insist that there be no discrimination in the selection of their juries not only as a means of securing for themselves the equal protection of the law but also of insisting on the participation of Negro citizens in the federal judiciary in all states and the federal courts. Italy and Ethiopia "We unequivocally condemn the Italian aggression in Ethiopia and the imperialist selfishness of all nations in their shameful actions," the case's foundational rights are involved, other Negro victims of injustice in whose Italian government's action in Ethiopia. We urge the United States government to put itself squarely on record against Haiti "We regret and condemn the suppression of free speech by the Vincent administration in the Republic of Haiti, and the imprisonment of critics of the Vincent government, among them such distinguished patriots as Jacques Roumain, poet and artist. Gar Laws "We condemn the forces which are pressing for passage by the Congress and by the several state legislatures of laws against the rights of free speech, free expression, or any an endocrine upon these fundamental constitutional principles minority groups, like the Negro, are the first to suffer. Fascism with all of its evils can be postponed or prevented only by mainsteming the principles of free speech, adherence in the principles of free speech. New Program for the N.A.A.C.P "We approve and pledge our financial moral and active support to the broadened program of the N.A.A.C. We shall intensify our efforts to make our organization an even more effective machine for to all men regardless of race or color." 179,000 Miles Without Accident Chauffeurs of the Evening Star and Sunday Star who were presented with "No Accident" medals at a recent annual meeting.

ROLAND HAYES that they try to mold their lives and thoughts on a white man's standards and through a white man's criterions. In doing this they prevent themselves from making either a contribution to their own race or to their country. They emasculate themselves. They depart from that which is genuine and native in their own selves and try to wear another man's cloak. "The Negro, if he is true to himself, can be of great service to the nation and world. Neertrer to the soil, nearer to the jungle, if you wish, than his white neighbor, he possesses a fortility, a natural earthiness, a lack of sophistication, that makes him a natural artist. It is that quality, that naive joy of living, that gives a spontaneity and freshness to his art, to his singing, to his dancing to his plays, to all of his work. It is not stale. It is fresh and springs from the deep sources of the mother earth and therefore, in a jaded world, it is new and a vital contribution. "Perhaps the white man has lived too long in a civilized environment. His impulses derive too much from his brain. What was once spontaneity is killed before it emerges by reference to a brain which turns nctural and instinctive action into movement governed by measured thought. Something is gone from the white man that the Negro, sometimes but three or four generations from the jungle, still possesses. Must Retain Identity "But it will be gone from the Negro, too, and that swiftly, if he continues to try to to the faithful to the white past, and the white tradition, instead of his own. If this happens the world will be poorer for it. It he can retain his own individual identity as a race, rich with the darkness and mystery and joy of the jungle, he will be truly great. For he has learned the white man's ways and the white man's world. Now if he can combine the two, if he can combine the culture and the sense of the western world with the earthiness and naivite and naturalness of his own past, he will have made a contribution which the world will find, I am convinced, of great value." Roland Hayes, the critical world has agreed for a decade, is a great artist. But he cannot be understood if one views him purely as an artist. In his own mind he is first a Negro, an artist afterwards. His art is not a good. It is merely an end to a goal entirely different from mastery and practice of his art. When his mother, shocked at his leaving a $3 a day job in an iron foundry for singing said that Negroes wouldn't understand his singing and that white people wouldn't listen to it, he did not say, "I am an artist and above race." Art Is Secondary He said, he declared, "Mama, I may not be able to sing. But I have got something people want. Maybe it will open all the doors that are always closed to a Negro. ELEVEN Maybe through it I can gain a place that otherwise would be beyond me." He did not see his singing as a goal in its own right; he saw it as an entrance to something which Negroes are almost always denied. Now that he has to an extent, gained that something, he wants to gain it for all his people and he still feels that his voice may be a medium. He is perhaps the only artist who regards his art as secondary, as merely a means to something much more important. "At a time not too far away" he said, "I am going to found a children's college in my old home in Georgia. One of its purposes will be to teach the Negro to be a Negro and not sn imitation white man. Part of its curriculum will be the history of the Negro race and the object of this course will be to make the student proud he is a Negro." The singer paused for a moment and glanced at a potrait above the fireplace of his spacious home. It exemplified the pride he was talking about. The painting was of his mother, former slave, who worked that her son might study singing. She was not dressed in her best clothing. Neither subject nor artist, nor son, had striven to represent her but as what she was—a hard working Negro woman who fought and labored that her son might have certain advantages. She was dressed in work clothing. Behind her was an ironing board and some clothing hanging on a line. The painting was drawn from a snapshot made by Olin Downes, musical critic of the New York Times. The ironing board and washing had appeared in the photograph Hayes ordered that they appear in the portrait. Bought Slave Karm Perhaps the greatest triumph in Hayes's life arrived in 1927, when he returned from a successful concert tour of Europe and bought the Georgia farm upon which his great grandfather, grandfather, mother and father had been slaves. While there he talked to Joseph Mann, then 105 years old, and a member of the family, who had owned the Hayeses, Mr. Mann, now dead, told of how Hayes's great grandfather, captured chieftan of an African tribe, proudly refused to take orders. The Mann family made him overseer and the African for a time gave the orders to lesser Negroes. But the servitude gallled his spirit. He was known as a "bad Negro" and he finally died of that which kills any captured spirit who once was free. "What did you think when Mr. Mann told you of your great grandfather?" Hayes was slow to answer. He reached out and absently drew a book from a self. It happened to be Dicken's "Bleak House." He glanced upward at the shattered window and then said swiftly: "I was damp proud." Oklahoma Bandit Killer Now Heads State Hospital TAFT, Okla, (By Davi, Lee for ANP)—At this little place star: the only insane hospital of its type for Negroes in the world.. The State Hospital for Negro Insane was but it here nearly two years ago. When first built, it was under white management. However, the colored leaders in the state got busy and insisted upon the appointment of a colored man to head the institution. Out of a score of names submitted for consideration, Maj. H. C. McCormick of Boley was accepted. Maj. McCormick jumped into the headlines of every colored paper in America and in the headlines of many leading dailies in 1932 when he shot and killed Bird-well, the famous bank bondit and pal of Pretty Boy Floyd, who attempted to rob the Boley colored bank. Maj. McCormick was commissioned and given the rank of major by Gov. Murray.

Three runs in the ninth inning gave the Jungaleers the margin of difference. Willie Hicks, fleet centerfielder, cracked out a trio of safeties to lead the winning batters. Hawkins and Addison, opposing pitchers, each fanned 7 batters. Only two games were played in the Tri-Sate Baseball League the past week-end, rain either preventing the start or breaking up the rest of the scheduled games before regulation game time had passed. The league-leading LeDroit Tigers strengthened their hold on first place by cracking out a 10-0 victory over the Washington Cubs on the Suburban Park diamond, the LeDroites being fortunate enough to gather 7 innings of game time before unfavorable weather set in. The winners garnered a total of 18 hits. They pushed 6 runs across in their first innning. The Cubs gathered a pair of tallies in their second and another duo of markers in their fifth. Cardinals Stop Trojans While all this was going on, the Cardinals put a halt to the march of Willie Barham's young Trojan nine on the Twenty-sixth and Bennings diamond of the Jungleeers. Slim Arnett, pitching for the Southwest aggregation, held the Warriors to two measly hits, one of which was a scratch bunt by Smack Lucas, his opposing hurler. Arnett struck out 10 of his opponents during the course of the afternoon. Clyde Williams was the starting pitcher for the Trojans but was compelled to make way for Lucas following a third and fourth inning attack of the subsequent winners. Rain came down in torrents to put an end to hostilities between the Columbia A.C. and Forty Elks at Sixtieth and Clay Streets, Northeast.

The result is the Sabbath Day clash of the Virginia and North Carolina outfits, carded for Sunday at Griffith Stadium. Game time has been set for 3:30 o'clock. Fans Pleased Local fandom was in high spirits on the evening of June 30 after news had been spread relative to the 1-0 set played by these two teams at the park. North Carolina's nose verdict over their Richmond rivals was heralded as one of the best played games in the District this season. It easily outshone all other clashes between colored teams. The game came about through the elimination of the local Morning Star Elks by the Capital City entry on the Saturday prior to the Richmond-Durham engagement. The Virginians defeated the District aggregation by a score of 15-10, and thus won the right to meet the Tarheel delegation in the three-way play-off. Sunday's game should be a thriller between two evenly matched teams. A band concert beginning at 2 o'clock will precede the diamond activities.

"Roughing" CHICAGO, Ill.—Two bearded and bedraggled individuals, fresh from the woods of northern Wisconsin, walked in upon Promoter Joe Foley at his Morrison Hotel headquarters last last week to complete the picture for the Joe Louis-King Levinsky fight which is expected to attract one of the largest crowds in local boxing history to Comiskey Fark on the evening of Wednesday, August 7. Ye Olde Cock Crows The two were King Levinsky and his trainer, Izzy Kline, and after they had identified themselves—the beards which they grew during the two-week sojourn in the north woods served as a perfect disguise—they revealed that the Kingfish had begun to round into the best condition of his career, and that he is confident that he will furnish the first stumbling block in Joe Louis' previously unimpeded progress toward the heavyweight championship of the world. --- DURHAM-RICHM'ND BASEBALL GAME HERE SUNDAY Rivals of Sterling 1-0 Tilt of June 30 Booked for Return Go NATIONAL NEGRO BASEBALL ASS'N Phila Stars ..... 9 N.Y.

Objection to a recent article in a local daily paper was voiced late last week by Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the public schools of the District of Columbia. The writer of the article, John Lardner, was criticized in a letter from Mr. Henderson to the editor of the paper. The latter acknowledged receipt of Mr. Henderson's letter and regretted the incident Quotes from Story Mr. Henderson's letter, written under date of July 17, read as follows: "A day or so ago, a syndicated sports release written by John Lardner on the subject of recent colored sprinters quoted Jesse Owens, an Ohio State Junior as follows: "But he don't give me no trouble on the track," and "I done my best work for the year." "Now Owens does not talk like that. All who know him personally and who have heard Owens, Metcalfe, Peacock and Johnson talk through the medium of movie-tone or other reels know that these boys use ordinarily good English. As a matter of fact, some are fluent talkers, and use exceptionally good language. Metcalfe is an excellent orator. "Why must certain writers always use 'Amos and Andy' grammar and word usage when quoting the remar's of all colored people? Perhaps it is to keep blinders on a certain section of citizenry who do not want to realize that all groups in America are rising to higher educational levels. To entertain and secure greater emolument and recognition, singers like the Southernaires well educated musicians and singers have to resort to c l o w n i n g or vernacular of the uneducated to sell their gift of song or music. "Let us be fair. Few uneducated ball players are quoted directly. Let us be fair to Ohio, Michigan and other colleges." E. B. Henderson. Falls Church, Va. Reply Apologetic On Monday, Mr. Henderson was in receipt of the following communication from the associate editor of the paper in question: Mr. E. B. Henderson, Falls Church, Va. Dear Sir: I wish to thank you for the letter calling attention to a lapse in our paper in a report of the language of a colored athlete, which was quite improper. Warning has been given to writers to avoid such errors hereafter . . . The copy has been retained be shown members of the staff. Yours very truly. G. A. Lyon, Associate Editor Olin Ordered to Meet Maxie or Lewis NEW YORK.—The National Boxing Commission announced late this week that it would not stamp its approval on any proposed matches in which Bob Olin would defend his light-heavyweight title of the world unless they be against some worthy opponent. Two "worthy" opponents were named by the Commission. They are Maxie Rosenbloom and John Henry Lewis. Rosenbloom is the former champion of the division while Lewis boasts a non-title victory over the champion. Olin was slated to defent his title against Lewis last winter, but pleaded illness at the last minute and had the bout cancelled. 826 450 391 627 802 959 388 277 001 512 664 530 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD track second-baseman of the H challenges his infielders to get or can reach.

RACKET STARS IN WAIT FOR ANNUAL SOUTHEAST PLAY RACKET STARS IN WAIT FOR ANNUAL SOUTHEAST PLAY Stellar Net Performers Expected to Throng Petersburg for Tourney PETERSBURG, Va. — With the eleventh annual Southeastern Open tennis tournament to be held at Virginia State College from August 12 to 17, inclusive, just three weeks away, enthusiastic followers of the courts in these parts are beginning to speculate concerning the fates of present title holders in the various divisions of the meet. Probably the most outstanding figure at this year's meet will be the present singles champ, Hermon Fitch, Johnson C. Smith University ace netman and second ranking ATA player. Fitch, who is CIAA champion as well as winner of the N.C. Open Meet, captured the Southeastern title last year, when he defeated the late Alfred Walker, then title holder from Baltimore, in a thrilling four set match, after having overcome a brilliant array of veterans. Many Stars In Group Included were such luminaries as W. E. "Babe" Jones, former Morgan College athlete, the colorful McGriffs and Dr. E. D-Downing of Virginia, Warren Weaver of Baltimore, and Henry Williams, of New Jersey. Although Baltimore, Maryland's contigent, which for the past two years dominated the meet, will be greatly weakened by the death of Alfred Walker, the Rev. W. W. Walker, tennis sage of Baltimore and father of young Walker, declares that a new interest is being shown in the game in that city, which gives assurance that the Baltimore entrants will be in the running in a big way again this year. It is expected that Warren Weaver, Southeastern junior singles champ, will lead the Monumental City contestants. The Rev. Walker will again serve as chief referee during the tournament. HILLSDALES PLAY NOCTURNAL TILT District Champions Booked For Go With Baltimore Giants At Bugle Field BALTIMORE, Md.-Local fans are agog over the impending Washington Hillsdale-Baltimore Giants baseball game scheduled for Bugle Field, this city, Sunday night.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 1935 The Sports Roundup By DAN BURLEY (Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO. — Well. Clinton Bridges met the end keen fight critics predicted for him. . . Rounds of sparring on a dance hall floor and being a Don Juan, as a lot of fellows contend, don't do a fellow any good at all in the squared circle when the referee is the only other party to the situation, and his only active interest at the time is to keep out of the way. . . Clinton met his superior in Billy Trees, white a former Golden Glove winner, at White City, here Thursday night. On the same night little George Dixon, Jr., who has appeared in this column from time to time as a up and coming fella, stopped his foe in the sixth and last round of a semi-final encounter on the White City Card . . . And if its any news to you, you'd have gotten the thrill and surprise of your life if you had dropped in the new Cabin Inn Cafe at 3351 State Street at about 1:30 a.m. Friday, two hours after the doors closed at White City. His foe had run out on him in the main event at White City, so Lorenzo Pack, husky fastic tector, thought he's make a round of the bright spots before turning in . . . He caught the eye of Alvin Barnett, the m.c. and the next thing the three or four hundred folks knew the prizefighter was out there "mugging" away in the best of Bing Crosby-style. . . . He gracefully gave in to call for encases, using "Every Day" and "June in January." As a little side short, a black Cuban.

Chicago on the afternoon of August 11, is the gsl-absorbing question. Following publication of the hitting and fielding averages last week, a number of important changes have been made, with the result that the players find themselves in a whirligig which might not be straightened out until the last vote is counted. Of paramount interest and usurping the spotlight in the voting is the spirited race for the centerfield berth on the West team with "Cool Papa" Bell and "Turkey" Stearns separated by one vote! Stearns's rapid rise in a race, which is closer than the next second, has been attributed to a healthy batting average, which sees him leading the league with a mark of 466. Battle of Southpaws Pitching...the thing which "made" the East-West game last year...indicates that a giant battle of southpaws will be just one of the delectable treats dished up for the thousands of people who have become "7-11" conscious. Votes show that Tiant has jumped into the lead in the east. One of the greatest southpaws of all time this Cuban is showing the way on the Atlantic seaboat, and has relegated "Slim" Jopes into second position, with Evans and "Double Duty" Radeliffe also showing surprising strength. In the west, Brown, the Grays great pitching ace is leading by a slim margin over Matlock, the super-man of the Crawford staff. Matlock, another sterling portside, is having his greatest year, and has caused Smoketown fans to forget Satchell and his "fast ball". That Satchell has not been forgotten altogether, however, is manifested by the votes which show he still has prestige. Trent, Willis, and Cornelius are still in the middle of the race. Super-Hitter:Fielder Last year the baseball world rocked to the sensational playing of a youngster by the name of Leonard, whom experts, agreed, had everything. He was a first-baseman and he showed class and finish. This year his work has been superb. A flashy, consistent, fielding genius, a super-msn at the plate and a player of the old school, who eats, sleeps and dreams baseball, he is showing a slight lead over Oscar Charleston, and threatens to be on hand when the ump says, "Play Ball!" Out east, the competition for the job is still a toss-up, with Giles, the boss of the Brooklyn outfit, in the middle of the picture this week. In fact, Giles spurked to take the lead from Salszker. Wilson continues a close third. Charity Card Nets Widow Over $200 The benefit boxing show sponsored by Joe Turner and Goldie Ahearn, downtown promoters, netted $215.75 to the cause of the survivors of Sterling Calhoun, the man who was drowned in a vain attempt to save two white children from the waters of the Potomac River two weeks ago.

BASEBALL SUNDAY, JULY 28 Griffith Stadium DURHAM BLACK SOX DURHAM, N. C. VERSUS RICHMOND ELKS RICHMOND, VA. This is the second game of a three-game series. First game won by Durham Black Sox by a score of 1-0. Time :: :: :: 3:30 Band Concert :: :: 2 to 3 Admission Including Tax :: 55 cents Brown Buster Shows No Mercy in Training for King Levinsky CHICAGO, Ill.-Joe Louis is in real danger of punching himself right out of sparring partners long before the evening of August 7, when he climbs through the ropes at Comiskey Park to do battle over ten rounds with King Levinsky. With only two days of boxing behind him, the Brown Bomber already has two of his sparmates "gun shy" from the effect of his heavy punches, and has his managers already worried as they seek additional sparring partners for him "We had trouble about keeping sparring partners when Joe was training for Primo Carnera in New York," manager Julian Black asserts, "and when he knocked out Jess Colwell and Chester Mason while boxing with them Sunday I could see that we are going to have the same trouble again for the Levinsky fight. It's not easy to dig up sparring partners for Joe in the first place, and as soon as they get flattened a few times we usually lose them." Blackburn No Help One angle that makes things difficult for Louis's managers is that they get little co-operation from trainer Jack Blackburn when it comes to having Louis go easy on his sparmates. Blackburn holds that it is a bed thing for a fighter to pull his punches in training, that it handicaps him in an actual fight to have that sort of training behind him. Joe has never learned to hit light punches; when he sees an opening he send his punches in just as though he were engaging in an important battle. Lincoln A.C.

Here the alert cameraman caught the "Theopolis" and "Mignonette" of the famed "Gibson Family" program, Ivory Soap's original comedy in one of their jubilant moods during a recent broadcast. This pair of versatile artists are slated for another contract in the very near future according to reports—(Al Mac Photo.) Ambling About Among Amusement Artists Cab Calloway and aggregation were kept busy while in Chi for two weeks. Their opening date was downtown at B & K Chicago theatre and they wound up at the Regal on the south side. They open this week at the Main Theatre in Kansas City after which they will do night stands and personal appearances back across the mid-west. With a few days' vacation the latter part of September, they open the Cotton Club in Harlem in October. Claude Hopkins and band will then take to the road after holding down the Cotton Club job for several months. While in the Windy City; Cab recorded a few of the later numbers including his latest piece "Echoes." He sang it recently over the Radio Gossip hour over the Columbia network with Eddie and Fannie Cavanaugh. Benny Payne, pianist of the band, accompanied him. Aida Ward also offered a number. The Five Cabin Kids, namely, Precious, Sweetie, Darling, Sugar and Honey, appeared on the program with Gertrude Burg, star of the Goldbergs. These kids have played vaudeville since making the picture "Mississippi" with Bing Crosby and W. C. Fields. They range from five to twelve in years. Hoping to find inspiration for new dance ideas in the home of the shuffle and the tap, Hermes Pan, RKO Radio dance director, left Hollywood last week for a vacation that will take him first to Memphis, Tenn., and then on a tour of rural Dixie. Pan expects to spend much time on Beale Street, in the famed "Black Bet" district of Memphis. Born and reared in Tennessee, Pan learned to dance under the tutelages of the family's house boy, Sam Clark, who Pan says inherited from racial instinct all he knew about terpsichore. Pan also believes that the Sepians are America's greatest natural dancers and that an unobtrusive study of them in their home environment by one who knows and understands them will be productive of a wealth of ideas for screen presentation. H. V. Kaltenborn, veteran news commentator of the Columbia Broadcasting System, expressed no little hope that the Italian-Ethiopian situation may not result in war despite all indications to the contrary. He told a listening audience Saturday evening that Mussolini himself, during an interview with the author of "Editing the News," declared war is not necessarily certain. Malcolm Fulcher, well known columnist and newspaperman, who has discovered such outstanding stars as Lena Horne, Annabelle Wilson, Vivienne Chisholm, Maude Brown, has added to his list of finds, Billy Daniels, a young singer from Jacksonville, Fla. Daniels, coming to New York on the suggestion of Bobby Evans, popular M.C. at "Hotcha," has been causing the patrons of that well known spot to go away nightly talking about his sensational singing. It was Malcolm Fulcher's suggestion that placed Daniels where he is today and leading critics predict that he will be a headliner soon. Bill Robinson will return to the RKO Radio studios early this fall for another film. He finished "Hooray for Love" just prior to his speedy trip across the country to see the Louis-Carnera fight. During his stay in New York he made personal appearances at the opening of the film "Hooray for Love." DUNBAR Seventh & T Sts.

Miss LeGon's day in co urt was a very solemn affair for the otherwise restless little dancer. Natty attired in a beige, tailored slack suit, she stood quietly before the bar. Perusing the contract Judge McComb asked if she under stood its terms and realized that, if any other studio offered more money for her services, she could not accept? "Oh, yes," Jeni answered demurely, "I'll be quite satisfied with this." The judge smiled. Miss LeGon made her film debut in "Hooray for Love" produced by Felix Young for RKO Studios. CARL HILL HITS HIGH MARK IN CHEMISTRY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—To the ever-increasing list of colored students who are demonstrating exceptional ability, not only in the winning of advanced degrees, but also in the types of thesis presented, must be added the name of Carl M. Hill. Mr. Hill was awarded the degree of Master of Science by Cornell University at its June Commencement. This alone is not unusual news. But it is exceptional news to state that the results of his research problem, on which he based his thesis in chemistry, were deemed of such merit and importance that they were presented to the American Chemical Society at its National meeting in New York City last April. This society is the largest chemical society in the world; and, according to a judgment recently passed upon it by "Science," it is "in the front as one of the outstanding scientific societies in the world." It publishes the authoritative "Journal of the American Chemical Society." "Chemical Abstracts," and the "Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry." To this honor was added election of Mr. Hill to membership in the Society of Sigma Xi, a national honorary scientific fraternity, because of his contribution to chemical research. Mr. Hill was awarded the degree of B. S., by Hampton Institute, in 1931; and was employed as instructor in chemistry in George P. Phenix School for the period 1931-1934. In the latter year, he received a fellowship from the General Education Board to do graduate work at Corne K University; and, accepting leave of absence, spent the following year in study. He returns now to his duties at the Phenix School. Naptown Makes New Contribution to Show World INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

Thrills of the work of the Government secret service agents pitted against organized crime, to whom a misstep or recognition means death forms the background of this amazing and gripping document of the war of the Department of Justice on gangland. Based on actual cases and reports "Public Hero No. 1" shows in detail the method of the capture of a notorious public enemy and throws the spotlight on the daring of the nation's peace-time heroes. Chuster Morris as the G-Man, and Joseph Callein as the fugitive crime overlord, as the center, about which the amazing plot revolves. Lionel Barrymore adds both comedy and pathos in the principal character role, as the strange old physician tool of the underworld, and blonde Jean Arthur, provides the romantic interest.

This time it's "Public Hero No. 1." and it's at the Lincoln for a week tre for an entire week, beginning Friday. Arliss is seen as the Duke of Wellington and the picture deals with the Hundred Days cycle of Bonaparte. Napoleon's fall from power and his final defeat on the plains of Waterloo. Arliss considers the role of Wellington one of his finest contributions to the screen. He lent his personal aid to the minute research covering the Louis XVIII period. Among the many thrills that marks the action of the drama is the sudden breaking-up of the famous Duchess of Richmond's ball at Brussels on Waterloo's eve. Drowning the music to which the brilliantly-clad dancers are swaying, the sullen, far-off booming of the distant French artillery speaks it message of doom. The night of pleasure end, in terror's dawn. "The Iron Duke" contains more heart interest, more human interest and more drama than any picture ever made by George Arliss. Republic "Under the Pampas Moon" Warner Baxter Ketti Gallian Responding to the demands of the public to create another role of the type of "The Crisco Kid."

Baxter takes the part in "Under The Pampas Moon" of a South American gaucho, a cowboy of the great plains of the Argentine republic.

And we regret that Mr. Shirley couldn't stay with us longer as Mrs. D, had her trap set for some cradle rocking... Well, dears, the loving S. Kibby is still the office lover. There is no need to worry about the new shirts assigned to the office. Kibby doesn't miss any of 'em. No .sir. Must come up and see us some time, Perry, it is really bad that you can't cook the meat. It's rather hard Mr. Howard to apply myself and you too. Can't you afford a maid at home? Business is slow and food high, we only bring enough for ourselves, Sorry...Well, the office has another untamed skoirt. Boy she is a wow. Miss H. Evans likes gentlemen, too, the bad girl!!! We must put Mrs. J. G. on guard. Hellen is an attractive little lady but girls, it's bad business. Understand Hellen. We're out to watch Grace Coleman, seemingly we can't get any news on her these days. Is it because she and Pop fell out? Anyway we see that he is still trying his luck with the other ladies. Ha.... We are a bit afraid that those who did not see that well dressed man in his cocktail suit may never have the chance as he refuses to wear it again. This quiet mysterious man must have refused to drive any more as a certain person is now giving the Capital Traction Co. a break. And Little Matilda C. never cracks a smile until the nice E. S. comes along. Wonder what the deep conversation was all about Thursday night-"Huh," says he, and she added a little Tee Hee, so what do you make of that? Alas, Alas, the sadest tale has not been told, what with all the men going to Abyssinia to fight, 'twill be sad, 'twill be sad. Oh you darling Multitecks...And we might ask who hit the Honorable Rev. Edwards? Stars are always twinkling about me, and one of them twinkles for you," says he. Well so long pals, see you next week, don't fail to look us up. Special X Correspondent, the Hawk. They are having a swell swinger at the old Ware's Hotel, now owned by Mrs. Alice West, at Highland Beach this Saturday, so I will see you there. Random Thoughts of a Roving Reporter This column was very much surprised to learn of the sudden death of Miss Myrtle Hatton, popular member of the younger set, last week. To her bereaved family, we wish to express our deepest sympathy in their sorrow...Pauline Simms, diminutive co-ed of Randall, has her eyes on a certain young man these days. It reminds one of a "Mutt and Jeff" combination...Saw Albert "Buddy" Marshall, Sunday night, at Barnes Grill in company with a fair co-ed. Funny how a young man can return to old haunts. It seems as though Roscoe is losing his affections with Emma "Pee Wee" Smith since Mook Jones has been visiting her. Better see Joe Louis and ask him for a book on boxing, my boy!... Tit and Tat I only heard that Bumps O. Dutch will lose one of his old flames soon when the latter will hook up with one of his vals. It is set for July 24. Guess he will have to jibe one of Mike's waitresses like he used to do, so that the young lady can take pity on him. He needs it..Daniel Johnson seems to have beaten Nick Carter's time with Mary. Another Tech fellow gone wrong..Margaret Smith of northeast cannot decide who she wants as a playfriend. Can it be Jack, Skinny or Stack?..Ever hear of Romeo and Juliet? William Middleton was seen crooning to Gertrude from a window the other night. Morris Murray is swinging the baton for the Capitol Theatre orchestra in dear old Alexandria. This newly formed aggregation is setting the ancient town on fire with its rhythmic airs. Already they are in demand in nearby cities for dances. Anyone wishing to communicate with Morris may write to this office. And by the way, don't forget the bouts next Sunday which will be presented for the benefit of the struggling columnists by the Inter-City Athletic Association. The Whole Town's Talking! Marcelline Mattingly was seen at Barnes Grill, Sunday night, beating up her gums with Oresalie Carson's boy friend. Too bad a certain young man was not around. Raymond "Mickey Mouse" Thomas hangs around on Fourth Street jibing a certain young lady. What next, little man?...Old flames will kindle. Notice that Jimmie Noble is back with Pearl after she gave his brother the air...Louise Hill and Victoria V. like to jibe Alonzo Rivers of Tech whenever he visits the Plaza. Wonder if John Johnson knows about this?...And, by the way, we see that Gloria Osborne and Morris Murray are getting ducky these days. True he is popular, but how about the other flame?...Beulah Stewart gave a hop on G Street, Sunday night, and was it sad! Music was furnished by an ancient piece of mahogany; in other words, a victrola. Tid-Bits James "Sheik" Parker is at his old tricks again. This time he was seen leaving Thelma Banks' home after midnight. Can it be "Love in Bloom" or "Happiness Ahead?" G. O. was observed escorting Beatrice Muse home from the Gardens Monday night in a cab. Wonder how he ever ducked by Frances...

Saw the young man clad in his old high school cadet uniform entering the recruiting station on U Street, Tuesday. Hot Tips Jethro Williams has left Blanche Peyton out in the cold again since he met a certain young lady over spider. Jefferson ducks Pearl whenever he wants to visit Mike's Grill...Bertha Hutchinson of Quincy Street has her eye on one of her old flames here lately. Notice that George Harris is "souping" with Margaret now, instead of going up on the hill. Skinny hangs around Third Street looking for Marge even though he visits the young lady on Callan Steet on Sunday. Watch out Ease! Leroy Coleman has all of the girls crazy about him lately. But we notice that he sticks close to Annabelle G....Mary Brown is holding tight to John Banks because he drives a V-8. No wonde he drives THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 1935 Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb Washington, D.C. is a particularly fascinating city. Not only is it the melting pot of thousands of Federal workers, who daily contribute their individual and respective bits for good 'ole Uncle Samuel, but it is also one of the Nation's most cosmopolitan centers. It is in this centralized community that the newcomer may observe over 130,000 Negroes—Negroes, as thoroughly disorganized as it is possible for a group to be disconcerted. No other city in the country compares with Washington for natural scenic beauty, attractive buildings, and lastly, but certainly not the least of all—the most beautiful women in the forty-eight states of the Union. So strongly is this city partitioned that it has often occurred to this writer that it would be possible for a clever and convining gentleman to have a wife in each of the four sections of the District of Columbia. (No suggestions, intended, however.) With all of these extraordinary natural advantages and opportunities, it will be interesting to note what progress Washington Negroes will make towards bettering their economic status in the years to come. Already some movement is on foot for the final determination of the group's economic salvation. The interest and race pride of the Negro in Washington must be aroused! A BIT OF BANTER AND SOME CHITTERY CHATTER: Clyde "Jerry" Woodroffe has returned to D.C. after a brief visit to the Gotham city...incidentally, the Woodroffe lad is some shucks on a diving board...Last Saturday at the Banneker Pool, Sue Payton was the principal figure in a ducking "party," that netted her many a victim...Sue has picked up about ORCHIDS ONLY "No Brickbats allowed—we, as a race don't need th' darn things." By Wm. (Wiggles) THOMAS Well, dear smoopers, it's time for me to be generous and give away a few of these precious plants again. Sad, but the week slipped by quickly and I have been so lazee until I failed to find many folks who rate my beauties. However, I am sure you will be pleased with my discoveries and join me in hearty wishes 'n' all that sorta bother. 1. First, to Mrs. Gabrielle B. Drake, who is recuperating after a very serious illness. Mrs. Drake rates a corsage of orchids, for she is back at her post as directress of the Thespian Players. The group will present "Follow Thou Me," the first play of the season, the latter part of November. 2. To John Rourtree Taylor, salesman for the Arthur Jordan Piano Co. Johnnie has developed a smooth line of sales talk that has placed him among our foremost salesmen. 3. Ya know Perry J. Thompson? The lad paints and weils a mean brush. Perry is an artist and specializes in this pictorial stuff, which is very beautiful. His technique has changed to finesse. More power to you, Perry, ole top. 4. Miss Ada E. Williams is a lady who won't say "die." Having had loads of trouble in forming a cast for the drama "Deborah," she has had to postpone the performance on two occasions, but, "the play must go on," says the very competent directress, so it will be presented in October. "Twill be goot, don't miss it." Orthids to Miss Williams for that never-say die spirit. Right here, I'd like to say to Mr. "Chick" Webb that, I personally don't care for Shakespeare roles, but —? am curious about seeing myself in one, or several for that matter, as you are. You make my dome protrude on each side when up on Parker Street so much... Wonder why Bernard Chavis and Joe Montgomery visit Mike's Grill so much lately? Maybe the young lady from northwest is drawing them up there. Ellsworth Clanton and smitty Marshall are at odds since both young men became interested in Gladys of Third Street. No wonder smitty visits the Southeast House often. Snuffy George likes to stroll down U Street in "Sporting Daniels" fashion since he bought a new suit. He is too much for the Seventh and T Streets pimps. Andrew was seen driving that Studebaker of his through Kramer Street looking for a certain young lady even though he knew Tacky was with her...Until next week, I'll be seeing you. Capital View DePriest Village Washington's most beautiful developments now have free bus service to street cars for their home owners. On July 20 this service was started, and it is expected to be continued until the regular bus service is started. The last objection is now a thing of the past.

Seeing Irene Towles this week recalls the fact that this personable miss is bent on becoming one of Washington's future prominent hostesses. Irene loves to entertain in a big way. Evidently a banana diet produces results, for Thelma Wolfford has shedded not a slight bit of poundage during the current season. A certain friend of the writer's is deeply enthused over the attractive Lillian McNeill. The baseball-playing Chester "Jake" Harris is a connoisseur of good beer...possibly that accounts for his stellar performances on the diamond. Readers of the Mouthpiece are mourning the loss of that spicy page with its columnistic jumbo...mayhap the torid heatboom...mayhap the torid departed last week-end for South Carolina. And by the by, the number of Negroes that attend the Sunday evening concerts presented by the National Symphony Orchestra can be counted on your good right hand. The erudite Howard Jones is one of the few who has cultivated a taste for this cultured type of musical expression. William Jackson, the Commerce Department employee, who possesses plenty of spunk and determination, resigned from his office of secretary-treasurer in the colored A.F.G.E. local recently."Jack" resigned under fire, after he had exerted much energy in moulding the affairs of the lodge. As lengthy columns are inconsistent with this torid hot spell, I am sure that you will not mind it very much—if I close this little Red Book...

Although one hates to think so but it took the recent heroic drowning of Sterling Calhoun, 32-year-old relief worker, to awaken the section citizens to the grave necessity of recreational facilities in Southwest. Verily, things happen in that fashion. Now, if oratory is followed by action, improvement at least, in interest in civic affairs should show a 100 per cent increase. Citizens, you must take sufficient interest even if it does necessitate a little sacrifice.

SIXTEEN KELLY MILLER AND MOTON APPROVE JIM CROW BILL Mitchell Believes Roosevelt Likes Idea of Separate Bureau for Negro (By Staff Correspondent of the A.N.P.)—Congressman Art W. Mitchell, of Illinois, announced Thursday that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had indicated that he approves the House Bill 5,733, which provides for the creation of an Industrial Commission on Negro Affairs, which will give employment to five executives and a coterie of clerks. This bill which was considered by the committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on June 18, at that time received the endorsement of a few leaders, who were present at the hearing. All of those representatives were either from the south or in their remarks endorsing the bill, claimed southern affiliation through birth or whatnot. Dr. Robert R. Moton, president emeritus of Tuskegee institute, added his influence by stating, "I do not see any objection to the passage of this bill, as far as I am concerned. I am not speaking for the whole race, but giving my own opinion and I can not see any objections to the bill, but on the other hand I can see many reasons why it would be most helpful." Others who endorsed the passage of the bill were Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, a native of South Carolina, who declared, "I think it will result in great good to the Negro people and to the nation at large, resulting in a way that no other measure can result" and Dr. Alain Locke of Howard University, who said: "I am reservedly in favor of the bill to create an Industrial Commission on Negro Affairs." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, practically all of the newspapers and hundreds of leaders in political and educational life are opposed to the bill as it puts the government stamp of approval on segregation and jim crow. Furthermore it is pointed out that the so-called commission would not have any power and would be a mere rubber stamp. A few politicians would draw fat salaries and the rest of the Negroes would be in a worse condition than they are now as the government could easily use the commission as a buck passing group. Pickens Lectures in Penna State College PITTSBURGH, Pa. (ANP)—On Sunday, William Pickens delivered the lecture to the summer sessions at State College, Penn. The teachers include graduate students and teachers from the south. This evening service is known as "Vespers," and it had been an unbroken precedent that the audience never cheered. This precedent was broken on this occasion: the audience not only cheered during the address, put cheered and clapped even to the recalling of the speaker at the close. Mr. Pickens spoke of the history of the Negro race and its social relations with the white race here and gave interesting illustrations to show the social impossibility of segregating the real interests and the destinies of the two races. He was introduced by Dr. George W. Chambers, head of the summer sessions. On the 40-mile motor trip to Altoona, where Mr. Pickens had to take his train for Chicago, some of the younger members of the summer school went along to continue the discussion and the "catechism." Budweiser Plant Asked To Employ Negro Workers CHICAGO—The Chicago branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has written the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company of St. Louis, makers of Budweiser beer, asking that its employment policy be broadened so that colored workers would be on its payroll. The branch letter, signed by A. C. MacNeal, president, expressed appreciation for the hospitality of the brewery, which is the largest in the world, in taking the delegates to the recent N. A. A. C. P. conference on a tour of inspection, but expressed disappointment that not one American Negro was seen working in the entire plant. Two colored men are employed as personal servants in the Busch family. Mediation Board to Take Up Case of Cooks. Waiters George A. Cook, secretary of the National Mediation Board, has written Rienzi B. Lemus, grand president. Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees, that the board will assign one of its investigators to handle the brotherhood's case against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad at an early date. The dining-car cooks and waiters of the Chesapeake and Ohio line joined the brotherhood some time ago, but the railway management declined to recognize the organization without certification of the mediation board, to which it forced Mr. Lemus to take the case last March.

SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY TAKES LIBERAL STEPS Company Claims to Be the Largest Race Employer in the South With the first definite evidence of a favorable break in the depression, insofar as its effect upon race people is concerned, the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., the race's oldest insurance company, has taken a forward step to restore to its rolls the many former policyholders who, because of the depression, were compelled to lapse their policies, and also to invite other thousands who have longed to be policyholders of this company, to take advantage of an unusual opportunity to secure policies providing immediate benefits for sickness, accident and death with payment of only one weekly premium. This step is an unusual and liberal one and, as it is the first time in fifteen years this company has offered such an inducement, it will no doubt be readily grasped by the people living in Virginia and the District of Columbia, which comprise the territory covered at present by this pioneer insurance company. Company Has Ample Assets Company Has Ample Resources The Southern Aid Society is not only the race's oldest existing insurance company, but was the first of such companies to put its health business, as well as its life, on approved Legal Reserve basis. It has also maintained for many years the largest surplus of any similar company, and has wisely invested its funds in first-grade real estate and mortgages on homes, churches and schools owned by race people- It addition to those safeguards it always has been one of the largest employers of race people throughout its territory; therefore the dime or dollar placed with this company does a double duty to the race. This company offers the choice modern forms of whole life, twenty-pay and endowment policies and its liberal three-in-one health policies, all affording guaranteed insurance protection and, at the same time providing opportunities for dignified and profitable employment to hundreds of young race men and women. Home Office This company maintains its home office at Richmond, Va., where it has erected one of the most substantial and profitable buildings owned by race people in America. It also has valuable property holdings in the District of Columbia, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, Danville, Petersburg and Lynchburg, Virginia. The executive affairs of the company are ably looked after by the following directors and officers, while in the field division it has some of the best trained supervisory and agency groups that may be found in the insurance business, regardless of color. The board of officers are as follows: James T. Carter, president and general counsel; Edward Stewart, B. A. Cephas and A. Washing, ton, vice-president; B.L.Jordan, secretary-manager; W. A. Jordan, assistant secretary-manager; W. E. Baker, treasurer; W. E. Randolph, Charles N. Jackson, A. D. Price, Jr., Percy Wilson, J. O. West and R. L. Tate. Ethiopia Answers Italy With Rattle of Guns ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, (CNA) — Mussolini's ceaseless shipment of munition and troops to East Africa was answered this week in Ethiopia by intensified military preparations for defensive service. The roaring of artillery and the sputtering of machine guns at target practices could be heard everywhere as the Ethiopians drilled. Streets and squares here were filled with troops. Following the address of the Ethiopian Minister in Paris to the International Red Cross Convention, Halle Selassie is expected to issue orders for general mobilization, according to foreign observers here. "REMEMBER when we started out with this wagon twenty-five years ago?" ASI ERICAN OIL CO. 1910 "I look back and I can't believe it myself. Just 25 years ago, and the rolling stock of the American Oil Company was the horse and tank-wagon shown in the picture. "I was the handy-man and bookkeeper—looked after what we called 'the office'. A 300 gallon day was a big day. We had just one policy. Sell the best products and treat the customer right. "We rocked along for a while, and then perfected the formula for Amoco-Gas. It was the first special motor fuel, and I guess about the first gasoline in the East to be branded and advertised. From then on we hit our stride and really began to grow." "Of course, we all worked hard. We always have. I was moved up and in time came to manage a territory of my own. We had the finest products that could be produced; we gave the service and the motoring public soon learned it. .

WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 1935 ARRESTED IN CUBA HAVANA, Cuba (CNA)--Manning Johnson, representing the Food Workers' Industrial Union, and Frank Griffin, organizer of the International Labor Defense, both spent 12 day in a Cuban prison here following their arrest upon arrival here. They were both members of a delegation of fifteen trade-unionists, writers, liberals and educators bent upon investigating conditions in Cuba, which has a large Negro population. Cubans Revolt A struggle for liberation by the Cuban masses from the yoke of American "big business" was recently begun here. A reign of terror against the active elements followed. Upon the landing of the boat in which the delegation sailed, over 200 police swooped down on the delegation and hardened them off so jail. A reception, planned by local friends, was prevented. Fear Safety Grave fears were expressed for the safety of the entire delegation by their organizations in New York. A large Negro and white group organized by the American League Against War and Fascism protested to the Cuban consulate against the arrests and demanded freedom for the visitors. False "Multilation" Tales Spread by Italy's Press ROME, Itlay, (CNA) — False reports of Ethiopians "mutilating numerous children" in a "mass attack on defenseless natives of Eritrea" were circulated here by Mussolini's Ministry of Propaganda. Foreign observers here liken these machinations to those spread by the Allies during the World War of the disfigurement of Belgian children by German troops in an attempt to gain the sympathy and support of home population.

Pratt, retired, as governor of the Virgin Islands, was sent Monday to President Roosevelt by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The association based its protest upon Admiral Pratt's endorsement of lynch law in 1932 in connection with the infamous Massie case in Honolulu. At that time, Admiral Pratt was quoted in the press as declaring: "American men will not stand for the violation of their women under any circumstances and have taken the law into their own hands repeatedly when they felt the law has failed to do justice."

WORLD'S LARGEST REFINING UNIT Oxford Man Decries American Educational Methods DR. J. H. WELLARD FLAYS AMERICON SCHOOL SYSTEM British Educator Compares Cultivation Ideas with Plan Followed in U.S. PETERSBURG, Va.-Six hundred teachers of the State of Virginia in attendance at the summer session of Virginia State College, heard Dr. J. H. Wellard, a native Englishman and graduate of Oxford University, direct scathing criticism toward the American educational system, in a brilliant address delivered at the college exercises, Saturday. Having studied a year at the University of Chicago, Dr. Wellard, is making a lecture tour of American Colleges during this summer, showing moving pictures of life in England and studying educational practices in this country at the same time. Flays American Schools At the very outset the speaker was frank enough to say that the American universities do not come up to his idea as to what a university ought to be in every respect. For a university should be, according to Dr. Wellard, a gathering place for scholars whose chief aim is not preparation for a life's vocation but preparation for life itself. A university should aim to inculcate skepticism in the mind of youth. There should be freedom of inquiry, freedom to question the validity of conventional doctrines, for without such freedom progress is impossible the speaker declared in effect. Education in the English manner alms to do just that, especially in the universities where the student is taught to question everything. The idea behind this method is that the students' skepticism will lead him into research and inquiry as he seeks to ascertain the validity or invalidity of theories and principles which interest him. Education is for culture. Oxford Idea Liberal secondary school systems of the Wallard's lecture was his reference to the fact that students at Oxford brew their own beer, with a secret formula that issues forth the best in the world. Contrast that with life in an American university. Turning to the elementary and secondary school systems of the two countries Dr. Wallard pointed out that in England education is chiefly for the intellectual aristocracy. Hence there is no idea of general education for the masses such as we have here, except in the elementary grades. There is no equality of opportunity for education in England. By a system of government examination the unfit are eliminated and educational facilities concentrated on those who have the intellectual ability. Ten Scholarships Offered H. U. Dental Students The College of Dentistry, Howard University, has received recently ten additional scholarships from the Board of Trustees. These scholarships have been given in addition to several which have been granted to deserving students in the past two years. Each of these recent grants provides for full tuition for one year and is to serve as a direct benefit to students interested in the study of dentistry. The distribution of these scholarships will be made during the summer in order to provide for students who wish to matriculate in the College of Dentistry this fall. These scholarships will be made upon personal application of the student who desires aid and their distribution will be made upon the basis of the applicant's general aptitude for dentistry, his scholarship standing and his manifest need for financial aid.

During his term he has made the remarkable record of having been successful in every criminal or civil case of major importance which he has handled since taking office. In announcing his candidacy for renomination to this office he said: "During the troubled years through which we have have just passed, the records will show that all criminal matters before both the Circuit Court and the County Court of Arlington County have been disposed of, promptly, efficiently, and without fear or favor. "I have recovered by suits for the county approximately $365,000, without a penny of expense to the taxpayers in employment of outside counsel. I have successfully defended the county in every suit brought against it, including one suit for $40,000, which was carried by the plaintiff through our Court of Appeals. The Annexation Case "The so-called Falls Church annexation case has been won in the trial court, and is now awaiting review by the Court of Appeals. "All county ordinances, upon which attacks have been made, including the much discussed dumping ordinance, have been defended in the Courts. "Without the employment of special counsel, as is usual in such cases, I prepared the entire record and all papers for the sewer bond issue, and drafted the Act of the Legislature upon which our sewer construction program is planned. I also prepared or approved all contracts and dozens of deeds and other papers necessary in that program. "Having given my best efforts to promote the interest of Arlington County, I can only promise to continue to do so if I am again accorded the honor of serving as your commonwealth's attorney.

VIRGINIA PRIMARY (Continued from Page 1) decision of the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which has never been reversed, and that is the law as laid down by the Democratic Judge C. Vernon Spratley, of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Virginia. Decision Stands "He held that 'Negroes could vote in the Virginia Democratic primaries, and his decision has not been reversed. Further, Attorney General Saunders of Virginia gave an opinion on June 30, 1931, which is published in the 'Report of the Attorney General of Virginia,' at page 80, upholding the right of Negroes to vote in Democratic primaries. "Negro Democrats are numerous in Virginia and have just as much right to vote in Democratic primaries as white Democrats. "The right to vote is the right that preserves all other rights. It would be absurd to argue that the Negro Democrat is not entitled to vote in a Democratic primary when his right to vote in the real election in November cannot be challenged. The law in Virginia is not limited to 'known white Democrats.' as it used to be, nor to known Negro Democrats. Matter of Honesty "It is sufficient that the Negro intends to vote for the candidate of the part in November. Of course, he might not so vote, but that is true of white voters who vote in the primary and vote later against the nominees of the primary. It is a matter of honesty only." 153 JOBS APPROVED (Continued from Page 1) will head up the work at a salary of $24,00) annually. The survey project was submitted Earl R.

The latest move on the part of the association is to open a camp at Waldorf, Md., where mothers and children will be cared for, said Eaton. This camp will not be for men, but will be for underprivileged women and children. It will be under the auspices of the Good Samaritans, a white organization here, which is philanthropic. This is one of the many projects which the Multitechnic Association is interested in, Eaton stated to The Tribune. His organization's main function is aiding the needy, "I just started signing up men for Ethiopia, the newspapers got wind of it and the thing just grew," said the former advertising solicitor for The Tribune. Eaton has some 30 "sympathizers" on his rolls who are anxious to get to Asyssinia. He does not know what he is going to do with them, but he appeared relieved when they stopped crowding his small office at 1337 U Street. Over half of the number "enlisted" are white.

He was forced to hire several assistants to help him handle the large "business" and many were waiting on the "ghost" to walk last Tuesday. Eaton could not be located, they said. Another worry to Eaton were the "G-Men" who crowded his office at all times and asked all sorts of questions and wanted to see his "books". They would even call up on the telephone and ask "foolish questions," said Eaton. Then the newspaper boys would swamp his office, take pictures, and his time by asking more questions about King Selassie and Abyssinia. Many of the men after giving their names and addresses thought this made them full fledged Abyssinian soldiers and some became troublesome at mealtime and wanted "chow." Eaton had a hard time convincing them that they weren't real soldiers, but merely "sympathizers." One white man with a pilot's license said he wanted to be the head of the air force and wouldn't accept anything less than a general's uniform. Others asked of Eaton everything from commander-in-chief of the Abyssinian Army to private orderly to Emperor Selassie. The young fellow who wanted the latter job thought that it would be safer with the emperor and yet he would have an opportunity for adventure. The Department of Justice stepped into the picture when it was said that Eaton was antagonizing a code of the United States which prohibits enlistments within this country for foreign service. Since Eaton claimed he was not enlisting men, but merely asked those who sympathized with Ethiopia in her difficulty with Italy to give their names and addresses. He had no plan to take them to Africa and said if they wanted to go he had no objection and they could go as tourists. Eaton stated to the Tribune that he is through with Abyssinia and will devote his time to enlisting funds for a camp for mothers and babies who wish to remain good FOUR The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U Street, N.W.

WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 1935 Insist on Orders Being Obeyed "The Federal office of this administration in Washington has issued administrative orders specifically dealing with equity and fairness to Negroes in the administration of its program, and has otherwise impressed this upon the administrative officials responsible for the administration of unemployment relief in the several States and Territories," said President Roosevelt in a recent letter to C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. This letter by the President puts at rest rumors of how the Chief Executive stands on the relief question as it applies to Negroes. Now all that remains to be done is for the various officials of the relief administration to carry out the President's orders. That is the job that has proven the greatest obstacle in the Negroes' fight for fair dealing in the President's program. It would be well for the local organization of ministers who recently protested to the District Commissioners of the unfair setup in Washington to insist that the local officers abide by the orders of their chief and if good results are not forthcoming—then appeal direct to Roosevelt. The Forgotten Workers The large number of forgotten Negro men and women who have been among the greatest sufferers during the depression are about to get recognition, according to a news article appearing in The Tribune this week. Hundreds of men and women who were unfitted for laboring work( men and women not particularly qualified for skilled work, but with sufficient educational training so as to be placed in the white collar class) will be given work on two projects recently approved by the Projects Board of the District Works Relief Progress Administration. Some 150 of this group will be employed in a survey on juvenile delinquency and recopying records in the office of the Recorder of Deeds. A national juvenile delinquency survey is being planned which will absorb a large number of Negro white collar workers in the country. Civic leaders, organizations and ministers should urge the approval of this project in order to take care of a large number of unemployed who have been left out of the relief program. Natural Forces With Selassie Military experts agree that in order for Italy to conquer Abyssinian troops must be used to take and hold land. All of the most modern equipment of war that Mussolini transports to Italy will be for naught unless infantry is employed to hold the ground gained. It is this that will prove the greatest difficulty, according to the experts. Not only will the climate be one of the great foes which the Italians will face, but disease and the natural terrane of the country will be Ethiopia's great defenses. These with the rugged troops of Emperor Selassie and their ability to live off of the country while fighting will be the deciding factors in Abyssinia's favor. Another factor against Italy is world opinion which is with the King of Kings in his fight to maintain the independence of his country. Atrocity Story (Daily News) From North Carolina comes an atrocity story shading anything that has yet emerged from the Italian-Ethiopian propaganda zone. Last January two Negro convicts were confined in the chain gang's "dark house," on the charge that they warmed their feet against a fire contrary to a guard's orders. In March the convicts' legs were amputated just below the knees. They said they were forced to stand in freezing weather 10 hours a day for nine days and that their feet froze. Three prison officials, arrested and tried for assault, denied this. They said the men had made amputation necessary when they stopped circulation by padding leg-irons with rags and strings. The legislature provided the victims with artificial legs and gave them sinecure jobs or life. The jury acquitted the prison officials. But North Carolina does not stand acquitted of penal cruelty. A legislative committee found chain gang convicts starved, beaten, brutalized and tortured for minor infractions of prison rules. Such barbarities are not confined to North Carolina. They are far too common in the work houses, chain gangs, city and county jails and state penitentiaries through which 400,000 men pass each year for the most part unregenerate and impenitent. Cruelty practiced on prisoners never pays. It confirms men in crime and makes them public enemies. "Instead of cowing one man," the Wickersham Commission said, "repressive rules and tortures have aroused a hundred to greater hatred and discontent." Negro Commission Called Threat No commission whatever can prevent Negroes, if they are determined to exercise their rights, from brushing this commission aside and bringing their cause to the proper congressional committee, to the real government agency or to the President. He calls it an "industrial commission," but that adjective "industrial" is just a blind-fold to keep the casual observer from seeing that there is an effort to meddle into not only the Negro's industrial life in America, but practically to subject to bureaucratic control his whole life, and to reduce him to the status of the American Indian of the eighties. It is a proposal to treat one-tenth of the American people as if they were not citizens but "wards" of the republic, and as if the general agencies set up to serve the American people, were not at the service of these wards. We have no doubt that Mitchell aims to do something that is good, that will make a good impression on colored people, and especially on his Chicago constituents. It is not too long now till election time. He has messed himself up most awfully by the foolish things he has said and done ever since he was elected—and now, bless you, in his haste to repair his broken fences, he is attempting the dumbest thing ever offered as a threat to the Negro race. He has introduced a bill to set up five men to stand between the great Negro race of America and their government—to set the Negroes aside as an element of inhabitants separate and distinct to deal with. One of the white southerners endorsing his proposal, naively says: "I believe their problem is a distinct problem." That is dangerous half-truth. Whenever a minority people are treated as a "distinct" group by their government, it is always and everywhere a distinct loss to that minority. This same southerner, further commenting on the aims and possibilities of this way of managing the Negro, says that laws should be made to fit the psychology of the people, and that the people should not be expected to adjust their psychology to the laws. In other words, the great Government should accommodate the jim-crowing and the lynching-phychology of Mississippi, when dealing with the Negro problem in Mississippi; and the "psychology" of the South should be respected, rather than the Constitution, when dealing with the Negro problem in that section. BACK TO THE FARM BECAUSE He also says, explaining the possible service of this Negro Affairs commission to white people's comfort, that there are Negroes in the cities in his district who ought to be sent back to the farms, because they had "worked on a farm all of their lives and "are lost in the city." There is partial truth in that; but it would be suicidal for colored people to allow any government or government agencies to assume the right to send Negroes back to farms as a race. It is clear that not enough gray-matter has been employed by the one who has formulated this bill, and that many of those who endorsed it have not considered it adequately. Mitchell packed his hearing, of course, and had only those who would say "yes." Some of them are men and women for whom I have the greatest respect. I do not doubt the honesty of their opinions. I doubt the wisdom and saneness of those opinions. These people have not thought beyond the mere words and immediate implications of this commission: that it is a chance for four men to get five thousand dollars a year each, and for one, called the "chairman." to get seven thousand five hundred dollars; and them to employ certain clerks and assistants. Three of these commissioners are to be colored, two white; all to be appointed by the President, who will name the chairman. This "commission" is supposed to save the white people of the government all further trouble with the Negro by serving as a sifting medium and heading off all complaints and attacks and protests which they know the government officials would not want to hear and to face. The poor Indian was reduced to such a condition, to the eternal shame of our civilization. But there is one thing which these hasty statesmen have overlooked: that the Indian was not a citizen, while the Negro is a citizen, and that therefore no commission whatever can prevent the Negro race, if they are determined to exercise their rights, from brushing this commission aside and bringing their cause to the proper congressional committee, to the real government agency or to the President. The commission could only form a sort of "interference" for the politicians who want to dodge the Negro and delay and hinder the effort of colored people to get at the proper authorities. In short, the commission could only be a stumbling block to the Negro. WHO WOULD THIS COMMISSION SERVE? This commission would not represent the Negro race but the appointing power. It is like a "company union" or company-made bureau to deal with the affair of the employees of that company; the first duty of such a body is to the power that appoints and pays the members of the body. If the congress of the United States, or the President, or any other government authority wants to appoint and pay a fact-finding commission to serve the appointing authority, that is one of the colored people's business; but let it be understood that colored people will not acknowledge this commission as having any authority or right to interfere with the exercise of their citizenship rights. But, Mr. Colored American, take note that this commission is not projected for that limited purpose, but "to consider all questions pertaining to the Negro that may be referred to said Commission by any department of the United States....or any of the States." In fact, this commission is to serve as a buffer, a dumping ground where all protests, pleadings, demands and purposes of the Negro race to save itself and get constitutional rights are to be dumped and forgotten. It is an insult to the American Negro to think that the five greatest men of the country could be suffered to take such charge of his life, let alone five cymbal-headed politicians, who will surely get their places by "drag" and null. The three Negro members will be put on the commission because of what they won't do; and the two white members will be put on because they "know how to handle Negroes"—which is supposed to be true of whites from Mississippi and Georgia. permits officials to "pass the buck." It serves no useful purpose. For these reasons the Tribune is unalterably opposed to the bill and suggests that it be killed in committee. and ing, mot wers of h a cu NEGROES DID NOT SELECT COMMITTEE The Negro is already, by disfranchisement and segregation, outside of his government, but here is an effort by a Negro legislator to put his race not only outside but out of sight. If the Negro now gets little by direct negotiations with officers and agents of government, he will get much less by this piny agency which is to be set between him and the government, and not by his selection. If the Negroes of America are wise, they will insist upon always approaching the agencies of their elected and constitutional government in the same way in which all other citizens approach it. Just as the labor unions and the women and the power trust approach it. And one of the nastiest things in Mitchell's bill is that this small group of hireling politicians shall "discourage subversive doctrine and propoganda." Think of it! To meddle with the already too limited right of colored people to express themselves. It is an insult to the Negro race that they, as a group, need any special guardians to keep them from becoming Socialists or Communists or Fascists. They demand the same rights to deal with these groups that other citizens may have. The kind of politician that would get into such a commission would not know a subversive idea from any other, and would not even know the stymology of the word "propaganda." Bureaucratic government is bad for white American citizens. For American Negroes it would be fair hell. The black men, some of them of eminence, who endorse this plan of Arthur Mitchell, may have exercised their wishbones but they failed to stimulate their gray matter. A dozen different commissions of the kind to deal with a dozen distinct phases of the Negro's life and problems, would not be adequate and would not be acceptable. --- Our Readers' Opinions "Stop and Think," says Charles A. Jenkins, relative to world turmoil. To the Editor: Again comes the time when the white United States, has turned their backs on the black. It has never been the policy of the U. S. to aid the blacks in any way, and it is not surprising that they have turned a deaf ear to the pleas of Emperor Haile Selassie, of Abyssinia. They have refused to listen to the pleas of 12,000,000 black Americans of this country for a number of years, who year in and year out have been segregated, discriminated against and lynched, without one hand lifted to aid them. Mussolini is quoted as saying that "I will never again trust any pledge given me by Abyssinia." Well can we colored Americans say, "we will never again trust the constitution of the United States or anything or any pledges made by white America." They broke their treaty with the Indians, and they have broken the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution. Will the beginning of the Italo-Abyssinian war be the beginning of the long looked for "Race War"? That is the question that has been puzzling the white races of today. England with her many Negro possessions realize the import of the Italo-Abyssinian war—and they are doing all in their power to avert such a war. The United States skillfully evaded a war with Japan on the same grounds, simply because she realized that she couldn't get black America to back her in a war with Japan. "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands" thus says the Bible. Has the time come for the Ethiopians to stretch for their hands and claim their birthright? Will the Italo-Abyssinian war be the beginning of the war of the races? Stop and Think. CHARLES A. JENKINS. Other Papers Say Other Papers Say KILL THE MITCHELL BILL Philadelphia Tribune According to Kelly Miller, Congressman Mitchell advises that the only semblance of opposition to his bill to create A Federal Commission on Negro Affairs has come from the Attorney for the N.A.A.C.P. That is not true; but even if it were true, that does not prove that the bill is a good thing for colored Americans. The fact that so-called "big" Negroes like Kelly Miller, R. R. Moton, Perry Howard and Arthur Mitchell are anxious for its passage does not necessarily mean that the proposed law would serve any useful purpose. As a matter of fact, the bill is vicious in principle and therefore, dangerous to the welfare of colored citizens. It proposes to create a special commission to study the problems confronting Negroes and make recommendations. Colored citizens know what the facts are and have been making recommendation thru the years. The Commission will have as much power with Congress as Carnera had against Louis. Since it will have no real power, what service could the Commission render? Vice comic the Commission Fender: A few colored gentlemen would have high-sounding titles similar to those held by Eugene Kinclek Jones, Robert S. Weaver, and other colored members of the New Deal. They would sit around the table to discuss academic theories concerning which they know nothing and the things which they know would never see the light for they would want their jobs and could not afford to displease the appointive power. We admit that that is an assumption, but it is one based on the ineffectiveness of our present representatives in Washington. If they have done anything, it is securely hidden. Forrester Washington became disgusted and quit. He got tired sitting behind a big desk with his hands folded possessing no more actual power than an alley rat. The Tribune has no objection to the appointment of colored citizens to empty-honor jobs. But there is exceedingly great danger in class legislation of this kind. All matters pertaining to Negroes would be submitted to this new commission. Aside from it being loaded with segregation dynamite, it would become a buck-passing agency. It would have no actual authority to do anything, but all officials would be given an easy way out when Negroes pressed for action on any given proposition, by simply saying, "We have referred the matter to the Federal Commission on Negro Affairs." The proposed law is class legislation. It is vicious in principle. It creates no actual authority. The Commission would simply have power to recommend. It gives segregation the official approval of the Federal Government. It permits officials to "pass the buck." It serves no useful purpose. For these reasons the Tribune is unalterably opposed to the bill and suggests that it be killed in committee. MAGIC LANES AND STARS (Continued from last week) II A dull thud and the half-frightened, half-daughing scream of a girl stopped the gardner's hoe instantaneously and attracted Carl Brandon's attention. Only a cultivated strip of grass and oleander separated the position of Carl Brandon and the gardner from the boulevard, and the inter-urban trokey track beyond. They turned. They saw a partly ludicrous spectacle: a young girl in athletic clothes tangled in the wheels of an overturned bicycle. The spectacle was ludicrous rather than serious because it was at once apparent that the girl was merely tangled and startled from the fall but not injured. Carl moved toward her. The gardner was close at his heels. Evidently the bicycle on which Rose was riding tripped over a stone she did not notice and had thrown Rose, head over heels to the curling Rose, becoming frightened, screamed and laughed hysterically as she fell, but she had launched on all four, hands and feet, and saved herself from harm except for a ruffled and palpitating heart and slightly scratched fingers. Her girl companion, alighting from her machine, looked at her with deep concern and asked her if she was hurt. Rose replied that she was not. After he had surveyed the wreckage briefly and discovered no serious harm had been done Carl turned to Rose Donovan. “What’s your name, child?” “Rosemary——Rosemary Martin.” "Live here?" "Yes." "Lucky you didn't sprain a limb." "You bet." "Rosemary's friend intervened." "We'd better go home." "Yes." Rosemary assented "May I ask where you live?" Carl requested curiously. "In the cottage on the Northeast end of Sylvan avenue. "With your mother?" "Yes, and her friends." "I'd like to make your acquaintance." "And I'd be glad to know you," Rose answered after making a swift, all-inclusive summary survey of Carl and his gardner companion. Her composure was returning; her complete recovery was in process of accomplishment. She was a pretty picture at the moment; a wisp of a girl, attired in athletic tights, an outdoor girl with smooth, faultless complexion, tanned by the summer sun. She wore a ribbon band in her hair—her eyes were clear, russet, oval pools. She called her companion Jean. Jean was a creole, trim and neat; she watched Rose like a faithful guardian; both were in their seventeenth year. The old gardener broke the momentary silence. "Well, child, you'll be more careful next time." "You bet," Rose said quickly. They were mounting their wheels. A street car clanged its bells three blocks away. The trolley was headed for Ballast Point-Rose and Jean were going in the opposite direction, directly toward Sylvan Haven. Without a moment's hesitation they mounted, started away, yelling a brief goodbye to Card and the gardener, Carl and the gardener watched them as they faded into the distance. Soon they were behind the hedgerows of palm and oleander, of magnolia trees and habicus, and there was complete silence again for the two men, standing beneath the burning sun. Carl turned to the gardener: "Well that little incident is closed." "Yes, son," the gardener answered taking up his hoe and turning away. He moved in the direction of his work again. Carl said: "So long friend." "So long, lad," the gardener answered. Carl Brandon moved toward the Bay Shore Boulevard and a secluded part of the shore where there were rocky nooks, sheltered by the shade of palm trees, quite suitable for idle loafing, for watching the surf and the ships that look like toys on the grassy blue water. Sometimes, on these early morning pilgrimages, Carl would take a favorite book of his along Usually it was a book of quiet essays or purposeful short stories. Even now his love of literature was of the sort that was to follow him through his years at the University and later. He rather liked the literature of romance and glamour, or quiet prose with a hidden purpose, the evidence of an original and unique preception. Today, however, he was not reading, nor was he pondering on literature. He was simply rapturing in his freedom, his being alone at one in mood with the gentle lapping water, the zephyr winds, the distant sailing yachts and schooners, the fishing boats and ocean liners. Card Brandon was born in August, that rich, ripe month of the year just before the coming of Indian Summer. His mother was well versed in an immense store of the world's knowledge, the world's information, the world's song and story and legend. All through his youth he had shown an attitude educated at the State College in Florida. She was a maiden belle among an interesting, ambitious and jovial line of folk who were dark and others who were not quite so dark in complexion but friendly and in complete unison with their thoughts. As a lad Carl liked to hear his mother talk of Georgie English and his daughter Orville—both mulatto folk from her home town in Key West. Federa News Notes by LAURENCE J.

(A bit of the Senator's well known sense of humor.) Senator Long charged that District Attorney Stanley had failed to prosecute one Burt Henry following his attack on the Junior Senator from Louisiana, John Overton, several months ago, but that: "when a state officer strikes a cameraman he has him indicted with intent to murder—almost a capital offense." (The Senator here was evidently referring to the incident which Joe Messina, serving as Long's bodyguard, struck Leon Trice who is an Associated Press photographer.)

Being the pastor of this humble and unpretentious congregation, Dr. Wiseman has not incurred the jealousy of the pastors of the large influential churches, nor the antagonism which springs from denominational rivalry. He $i_{5}$ on terms of friendship and pleasant working conditions with all the churches and denominations of the city of Washington. I dare say that he has conducted or participated in more funerals than any other minister in the city. Dr. Wiseman has not only been a minister at large to the poor and needy, but has, also, been, as one might say, the mayor of the city's neglected element. During his early and more vigorous years, he was leader and spokesman in the civic affairs of the community. The authorities of the District Government looked upon him as the intercessor for the poor, needy and neglected of his race. He is as well known as highly esteemed among the whites of the city, as among his own people. He, with the late Dr. Kober and Dr. James and inclination for books and learning, for culture and wisdom. His mother was rather unusual. If it were possible to send the memory of her ringing down the ages such a culogy would hardly be a monument great enough to do complete justice to the strength, the nobility, the courage, the idealism of her own character and her determination to put her son through, to qualify him for successful living.

Wiseman, on August 9, 1885, will celebrate its Golden Jubilee, in honor of its founder and pastor, on August 9. Dr. Wiseman and I were schoolmates, and indeed classmates. Although we were registered in different departments, we were assigned to the same classes in several subjects. Immediately upon graduation from the Theological Department, Dr. Wiseman entered upon his ministerial calling to which he has diligently applied himself for the past fifty years. He selected as his field of labor a needy but neglected section of the city and cast his lot with the poor and humble. For the past fifty years he has stood in one place and preached the plain and pure gospel to those who need it most. During the past century he has gone in and out among the people in every station of life and yet during all these years he has never deviated by a hairsbreath from the path of righteousness. His character is untarnished and none can point a finger of scorn at the conduct of this unright Priest of God. He has by no means confined his services to the Church of Our Redeemer, or to the Lutheran denomination, although he has been unswervingly true to the tenets and interest of both. Dr. Wiseman. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL (To be continued.) R. Wilder, organized the anti-Tubercular Society. He organized and has been the president of the Howard Park Citizens Association throughout its entire history. Dr. Wiseman is Dean exofficio of the Carribean students in Howard University. The University carries something like a hundred students from these Islands. Dr. Wiseman himself, a native of the Virgin Island, all the students look to him as their Guide, philosopher and friend. He exerts his influence not only with the faculty of Howard University in their behalf but also with the State Department and the Government of the Virgin Islands. I have known more or less intimately all of the outstanding alumni of Howard University from its foundation down to the present time. I can say, without reserve, that I regard Dr. Wiseman, for character, usefulness, and exemplary life as the greatest Roman of them all. Dr. Wiseman is now seventy-six years old, and in the rules of nature, must shortly lay down his heavy load. When he shall have finished his work, which let us pray may be years delayed, there will be left no shadow of a doubt in the minds of those who knew him that he has kept the faith. THE WAY OUT By LOREN MILLER SHARECROPPER CONSCIOUS The Negro people are becoming sharecropper conscious. The terrible conditions under which these southern farmers live have long been known to all but the most illiterate. But in the lush days of the 1920's, leaders of Negro thought—that is, those who had access to the public prints—were all living in a sort of fairyland and they kept up the pretence that the solution to the Negro question lay in business ventures and in strengthening the white collar class. Phoney figures were bandied about to prove that all was well down in Dixie and that Negro land ownerships was on the increase. The theory was that it was only a question of time until every peon would be a landlord and that anyhow only the shiftless Negroes were being exploited. The truth is that farm tenancy has been on the increase for many years and that the wholesale dispositions of the past few years are but the climax to that trend. Realism Returns The growth of the huge chain concerns has struck a body blow at many of our businesses, and unemployed workers are unable to keep the professional attendants in Buicks and Pontiacs. Realism has returned and it is apparent now that the crux of the Negro question is the solution of the problems of the Negro tenant farmer. the sharecropper. These tenant farmers have taken the lead in Alabama—there the Sharecroppers' Union has been working for some years. More recently the Southern Tenant Farmers Union has enjoyed a similar growth in Arkansas. Like all sensible men these cropers are striking the first blows for their own freedom. And they have been realistic enough to see that the problem cannot be solved on racial lines. White and Negro farmers banded together in mixed unions are making a stand against starvation. History Repeats This unionization is inspiring in itself and is bound to bring the men some sympathy. But sympathy isn't enough. Our plight is bound up with theirs and crude selfishness should move $s$ to go to their aid. The situation is roughly similar to that which obtained prior to the Civil War. Then there were a few "free" Negroes living in the North who enjoyed limited rights. For a long time these "free" Negroes pretended that they could solve their problems by being "good citizens" and making their own way in the world. The relentless pressure of events proved that they were wrong. The slaveholders began to encroach more and more on the rights of these "free people of color". Finally the most intelligent of them saw that no Negro could be free anywhere so long as Negroes in the South were in chains. Willy-nilly they were forced to join the war against slavery. Let's Help Them That is our position today. We may pretend that we are free and that we enjoy democratic and constitutional rights. All of us know that is not true. And our lack of freedom is linked to the virtual slavery of the Southern tenant farmers just as sure as the lack of freedom of "free" Negroes prior to the Civil War was linked to Southern slavery. We had better get down to the real business of helping ourselves by helping the Southern sharecroppers. We can't do much by way of migrating down there and organizing. The men can take care of that. But they do need our help. They need money. They need support in their coming court battles and they need an aroused public opinion to see that they get a maximum of freedom of action. Something ought to be done right now but in any event I hope that the coming National Negro Congress takes steps to provide practical ways and means for us to go to the aid of the sharecroppers. We who are less daring stand back and look on. It is the urge in us that makes life worth living--after all that's said and done. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Mss Fay M.

The gown was made on Princess lines with long full sleeves and a jacket which had a peplum, created by a slight fullness in the back. She carried a bouquet of roses, gladiola, baby's breath and mriden's hair fern.

The room presented a very cool appearance, with its soft white light coming from an exquisite four-cornered pedestal two-way table lamp. The guests were seated informally about the room, with several late comers forced to occupy seats in the reception hall and library. Attorney Jesse W.

Though rather modest, in dussucing his activities while there, I was able to find out how he had worked in many projects and had been interested in many interracial movements while engaging in his research work. He acted as counselor for the Northwestern Youth Conference which attempted to formulate a program for the youth during the depression. He was guest speaker at the meeting of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and gave many vital points concerning the Negro and his advancement in American colleges. Quote—Dr. Huguley opinion is that whatever advancement has been made by the Negro has been encouraged through generous, broad-minded individuals and he contends that further ad vancement will depend on sympa- zizing individual plus the Negro's own achievements. He says, "The Negro's hope for advancement in American colleges lies in friend ship." There are those who will challenge Prof. Huguley's state mentes; but that is where the argument becomes interesting. Congratulations are in order.

Honorable Lionel Roberts, and Honorable Anselmo Fabio, are official representatives of the Colonial Council of the Virgin Islands and are here in conference with the Senate Committee concerning political policies and administrative problems to their country. While this reception afforded the gayety and cordiality of welcome to these visitors it also provided an opportunity for them to become acquainted with the following eminent American Negroes: Dr. William J. Tompkins, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University and member of the District of Columbia Parole Board; Judge James A. Cobb, Dr. T. C.

Informality, friendliness, yet dignity, permeated the evening's activities A brilliant program gayly carried through by the gracious hostess lent charm and gave pleasure to all who were present. After the honored guests of the evening were introduced Elder Adolphus Webb thrilled his listeners with a rich baritone solo, assisted by Dr. Eva B. Dykes. Dr. Canegata was introduced to the group and invited to give some remarks on the problems found in the Virgin Islands. His remarks emphasized the fact that the time is ripe to carry out a program which will give the native Virgin Islanders a greater opportunity for self government. Guests Speaks Mr. Roberts followed and in his remarks, he not only stressed what the chairman had said, but in a very deliberate manner gave the customs, history and ideals of his people and showed that it is the desire of every native Virgin Islander to be most friendly to his American Negro brothers. The last of the three Virgin Islanders to speak was Mr. Fable, who spoke on the lack of knowledge by Virgin Islanders of the type of Negroes in America and expressed a hope that a greater knowledge of these kindred peoples and that a closer understanding and appreciation would come about. Responses were given by Dr. William J. Tompkins, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Judge James A. Cobb, Victor H. Daniel, and Attorney Thurman L. Dodson. Those who so graciously assisted the host and hostess to greet and receive the guests were Attorney T. L. Dodson, Miss Thelma L. Stafford, the charming sister of the hostess, Reverend and Mrs. C. S. Butcher, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Dasent, and Mrs Geneva McDonald. Greetings by the hostess, Mrs. W. C. Dodson, instrumental solos by Dr. Eva B. Dykes, readings by Mrs. Geneva McDonald, Mrs. E. A. Smith, and Professor F. L. Peterson, interesting speeches, and very cooling refreshments made a most novel and interesting reception An old woman whose sight is perfect at eighty says that she has used the following lotion as an eye wash for the past thirty-five years.

(ANP). — Two members of the Spalman College faculty, Miss Anne M. Cooke, director of dramatics, and Miss Billie B. Geter, teacher of French, will attend the third annual Moscow Theatre Festival which opens on September 1, and continues for ten days. They will sail from New York July 31, on the new French superliner, S. S. Normandie. spend some time in Paris, and go on to Russia in time for the opening of the festival which attracts students of the theatre from all parts of the world. They will return to Atlanta late in September Children at Health Camp Gain Average of 4 Pounds The 60 little boys and girls receiving special care in the Children's Health Camp conducted by the Tuberculosis Association at Thirteenth and Allison Streets, Northwest, Monday, showed remarkable progress in their physical condition when their individual weight charts, were displayed in connection with the third weekly health clinic, much to the delight of visiting parents and the doctors and nurses in charge. The average gain in weight for the entire camp quota of little patients making their fight under favorable condition against tuberculosis 'infection was almost four pounds; to be accurate, exactly 3.58 pounds per child. One girl, Katherine Gray carried off the honor of the camp clinic by registering the greatest individual gain, that of 6% pounds for the three weeks. BEST NEWS OF THE NATIONS CAPITAL PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Dr. Arthur Curtis played a now-you-see-me-now: you-don't sort of trick on his many Washington friends. He ran into the city for a few days, drove down to a nearby beach and is now back in New York. Anyway, his friends are happy over even the one little glimpse they got of him, for they found the Doctor looking fine. **** When Miss Evelyn Edmonston, tall, popular young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Edmonston, of 1620 S Street, Northwest, takes a vacation—well she takes one, that's all. She even lays aside her accustomed skill in letter-writing. From the picturesque hills of Harpers Ferry she mailed a letter, to her beloved mother and dad and it, took nearly a gall of Farley's Department to figure out who the letter was meant for and where it was supposed to go. It would take lovely lady Martha to think of a trick like that. (Mrs. Martha Childs. I mean.) All the "Hu!y-and-Get-Well" cards the postman brings to her husband (the popular Creed Childs) are fastened by Martha's own hands to the tall white skew at the foot of her husband's hospital bed. Then when Creed is feeling well enough to sit in an easy chain he examines his gay "art gallery" and reads your message and mine. Speaking of Mr. Childs it seems that, like "Mr diggs" of the funny papers, he is very fond of cabbage. But what chances has a well-behaved patient to get even a whiff of that delicacy when he dines every day in a well-ordered hospital. They say "A friend in need, is a friend indeed." And so, Creed may soon get his cabbage. For a distinctly heard Mr. Harold Haynes, principal of Brown Junior High School (and a life-long friend of Mr. Childs) say that he was going to pluck a head of cabbage from his own Silver cabbage garden and take it over to Mrs. Childs who knows exactly how to prepare it. Then from the Child's residence on Sherman Avenue that delicious dish of cabbage was to find its way to Creed's hospital room. (Now don't be a meanie and tell Dr. Warfield.) (You probably wouldn't gain anything by telling it anyway, because Mr. Childs is such a jolly patient they hardly be able to find a soul to scold him no matter what he ate. Besides, Dr. Warfield is at this very minute ever so happy over his daughter's delightful trip to Europe and he may wouldn't raise an eyebrow. And Dr. B. Price Hustt (Mr. Childs' physician) is a grand—well, anyway don't tell anybody. Miss Alma Thomas, attractive young Washington schoolteacher, and her mother are off to Atlantic City for a holiday. But the zinnies on the lawn of the Thomas home on Fifteenth Street shouldn't droop their red and yellow heads for pretty Miss Maurice Thomas is still present to admire them. --- Mrs. Frankie Thomas (of the titian hair and magnetic manner) was seen in the shopping district the other day but not a single little item in all F Street's Ladies-Wear Windows could get Mrs. Thomas's attention. She's the "better half" of the Thomas Grill proprietor, Dr. Vincent Thomas. And so, as Mr. Thomas walked briskly along, she was probably trying he, best to decide whether celery added to tuna fish sandwich filling would add or detract from the flavor. Dr. Charles Dudley Lee of Baltimore, in the city, last week and looking splendid in a white suit.

The minute we found out that slim dark-eyed Elizabeth Adams had packed that blue-trimmed pink silk organdie dress in her traveling bag, we knew that New York would sit up and take plenty of notice as soon as it saw her. And it did. Accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Charles Adams, of 1888 Thirtenth Street, the popular Elizabeth was the house guest of Miss Sadie Coffer, a New York school teacher, of 1648 Seventh Avenue. The only problem that threatened to pucker Elizabeth's brow, was the fact that each of the ten days she had to spend had too few hours in it. There were the big shows to see and the historic spots and whatnot. There were the parties in the city and the ones on Staten Island, (and the charming Elizabeth, guest of honor at them all). Dr. Ulysses Martin drove to New York the other day, and brought his relatives back (in including Miss Katie Martin, who had been the house guest of Mrs. Gladys Smith, of Jamaica, Long Island, who is co-leader of the United Colored Democracy of Queens). But getting back to Elizabeth, she, her mother, and her-hand-some brother, Charles, are all at Colton, Md., now. And Elizabeth is very busy trying to catch the breath she lost in New York's merry whirl. A lot of people are vowing, that when St. Mary's Vestry gives another chicken dinner, nothing short of a flood, a fire or an earthquake will keep 'em away. The members. Messes. J. W.

And although Mrs. Frances. Hall knew she shouldn't have done it, especially with all that chicken, and ham and saiad and pie on her plate, she ate fritter after fritter (just because the her, so-in-law fried 'em).

CASE Claims Right to Condemn Land for Slum Clearance Here Claims Right to Condemn Land for Slum Clearance Here Claiming that there is a housing emergency in Washington, the Government, late last week, passed forward with its Southwest Washington slum clearance project by asking the District Supreme Court to hold that it has the authority to condemn 13 acres of land in the section as an essential step in $3,000,000 low-cost housing program. The Government's contention was set forth in an answer to the legal proceedings instituted recently by Miss Minnie Keyes, white, 714 Seventh Street. Southwest, who asserted that the Government cannot condemn her land which lies in the 13-acre tract Miss Keyes' suit was based on a recent decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. She charged that the proposal to condemn her property in the slum clearance and low-cost housing project is not a taking of the land for a public purpose Cited Kentucky Case The appellate court had ruled that the Government did not have the authority to condemn land in Louisville, Kentucky, under similar circumstances. In its answer, the Government's contention is that even though the Federal Government may not have power to condemn land for such purpose in a State, Congress, acting as a State Legislature for the District of Columbia, has the authority to do so here. Distinguishing between its authority in a State and in the District, the Government, in its answer, said: "Whatever doubt may be cast upon the constitutional power of the United States to condemn land for low-cost housing and slum-clearance projects in the several States, there can be no question as to the right of the National Government to use its power of eminent domain for these purposes in the District of Columbia." Has Police Power The Government also contend that during an emergency the land may be taken by exercise of its police power. Concerning the police power, the answer said: "This fundamental and essential power, existing at all times, is brought into relief by the catastrophic depression, which, in the District, has practically stopped all house building, prevented the normal growth in popula' m, created a housing shortage in the face of a rapid and sharp increase in the number of its inhabitants, placed the poorer sort of tenant in a position of greater dependence and created a condition of virtual monopoly. "The condition of emergency in this District by the depression is substantially like the condition created by the post-war housing shortage. The former condition was met and dealt with by the exercise of the police power." The answer was filed through Henry H. Glassie, special assistant to the Attorney General, and Alex H. Bell Jr., special assistant to the United States attorney. Claiming that the decision in the Kentucky case was contrary to rulings by four other Federal district judges, the answer said: "While entitled to respect, the opinion of that court has only such persuasive effect as is warranted by the soundness of its reasoning. No court in this district is bound to accept it as law." Owns P Street Homes Miss Keyes, who file suit to halt the low-cost housing project launched by Secretary of Interior Ickes is owner of eleven houses, running from 121 to 141 P Street, Southwest, two at 9 and 10 Pierce Court, and two at 1256 and 1261 Half Street, Southwest. The property, fifteen homes in all, is in the center of the District which Secretary Icket program is designed to rebuild. Tenants in the house, pay rent at the price of $12 monthly. No modern conveniences are installed in the homes. Man Attempts To Sell Heifers; Is Arrested VAZOO CITY. Miss.

JEWS BUY WOMEN IN HARLEM FOR 20 CENTS AN HOUR Women Seeking Work Obtained by Highest Bidder in New York City Harem girls by the hundreds sell themselves for 20 cents an hour or they take the highest bidder, according to a story appearing in the New York Age. The Age says: "The price — 20 cents an hour, and for that one may get the pick of hardworking colored women, many of them with families, who, desperate from the struggle to eke out a bare living under present stringent economic conditions, submit to unbelievable humiliation and hardship for whatever paltry pittances may be thrown them. Bought by Jews "This appalling state of affairs was disclosed through investigations by the New York Age in the Bronx, where colored women embark on a mass search for daily employment as domestics, offering to sell themselves into service to shrewd, Jewish housewives who are quick to take pitfall advantage of a horrible situation. "In the early morning hours on Walton Avenue, between 160th and 170th Streets, the women may be seen taking up their places of waiting. Some bring along boxes on which to sit. others sit on anything they can find—or remain standing: They are patiently waiting for the bargaining to begin, like slaves herded together on an auction block, torn between the anxious uncertainty of what hard ships they may be forced to undergo if they succeed in finding work for the day—and if they don't. Same as S/ave Block "Soon the group is approached by several Jewish women, housewives living in the neighborhood. With shrewd, calculating glances, they eye the group. Finally one will step forward and, in the voice of a bidder at an auction sale, offer twenty cents an hour for a houseworker. For a while there may be no answer but finally a poor, bent, old woman, will rise and step forward sheepishly to accept the offer and move off with tha white woman. "This marks the beginning. The other white women will make their offers and depart with those who come forward to take them up." Man Taken From Florida Officers and Lynched FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (ANP) — Rubin Stacy, charged with having assaulted a white woman with a knife was taken from officers near here Friday and lynched by a mob of more than 100 white men. Officers were transferring Stacy to Miami for safekeeping when the mob accosted them on the highway. The mob of masked men, in cars from which all license plates had been removed forced the officer's machine from the road and forced them to turn the prisoner over to them. Manaced he was compelled to walk behind the car of a group of the lynchers about three miles to the place, where the white woman is alleged to have been attacked and there hanged from a tree. FREE MAN,31 OF ASSAULT ON GIRL,8 White Wesley Heights Residents Rally to Employee of Neighbor Two elements were primarily responsible for the acquittal of Harold Harris, 31, of 1209 Rhode Island Avenue, Northeast, on charges of assault on an eight year old girl. They were the excellent character record of the defendant and the fact that the alleged attack occurred May 15, over two months ago, Harris as freed in Jury Court, Judge Richard McMahon presiding, Wednesday. According to the story told by the child, Harris attempted to attack her in the rear of the house when he came there to visit her uncle. The girl claims that after giving her money, Harris made improper advances and offered her more money Harris' version of the affair is that the child asked him for a nickel. Since he did not have one, he gave her a dime. This, he de- declared, was the sole extent to which he had anything to do with the girl. Robert Burton, white, president of the Lercher Cleaning and Dying Company, which employs Harris, testified that Harris had worked in his home around his three daughters. "At all times," Mr. Burton declared, "he has been a perfect gentleman. My neighbors in Wesley Heights always call on him whenever they want any work done." Harris was represented by L.

Negro Funeral Held In White Episcopal Church MACON, Ga. (By J. O. Thomas for ANP)—A few days ago, the funeral of three Negro boys, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hawes, Sr. who were drowned in the Ocmulgee river, were held from the Christ Episcopal Church (white) this city. These three boys, named Earl, Obie snd Carol, 17, 13, and 7 years old, respectively, were placed in a single grave in Linwood cemetery. The Rev. Mortime, Glover, pastor of the church officiated. The mother of these children was a Cuban. Their grandfather the Rev. J. B. Mancebo, of Santiago, Cuba, is a high-ranking Episcopal minister and was present at the funeral.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING JULY 27, 1935 Tribune Music Critic Thrilled by Summer Symphonic Concert Woman Director Proves She Deserves Praise As Pioneer In Field of Symphony; Interpretations Please Writer; Violinist Paid Tribute By OTERA D. TYMOUS A musical dynamo welded the baton at the third summer concert of the National Symphony Orchestra. She was Miss Antonia Brico, first woman director of the symphony and guest conductor. The concert which was third in a series of six was held last night (Wednesday). The program reached its climax in her interpretation of the Scheherazade Suite by Rimsky-Korsakov. The suite, in reality a romantic symphony, tells a story. The four parts describe the Sea and the Ship of Sinbad, the Tale of the Prince Kalendar, the Young Prince and the Young Princess, and the Festival at Bagdad. heights in the Young Prince and the Young Princess, and the Festival. The lovely melody of the former and the summary of the themes of the suite in the latter present an impressive picture. Stephen Hero, young New York violinist, was the soloist. He played the Brahms Concerto in D Major for violin and orchestra. In the opinion of the writer, this man who plays with a passion that rocks his body, has a limitless future in the musical world. Although the program was as near perfect as one would desire it, at times it seemed that Miss Brico did not have the full co-operation of the orchestra. This may have been due to the fact that she The work reached its greatest SHRINERS TO MEET HERE NEXT MONTH 5,000 Delegates, Friends and Visitors Expected to Attend Sessions Over 5,000 delegates and other visitors are expected here August 16-23, during the 35th annual session of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

Several hundred members of the auxiliary, Imperial Grand Court will also meet at the same time. The Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, under whose obedience Mecca Temple has its existence, having been established in America on June 10, 1893, and incorporated July 5 of the same year with Illustrious John G. Jones as imperial potentate, began to spread its influence throughout the length and breadth of this country, as well as South America and the Isles of the Sea, and Illustrious Jones having dedicated himself to the spreading of the principles of this noble order, got in touch with a number of Sublime Princes and Knights Templar of the District of Columbia and soon thereafter the "John G. Jones Club" was formed, having for its object the establishing of a Temple in this Oasis. Temple Set Up The leaders of this club were active and soon twenty-eight names were enrolled and with this number the temple began its career. A petition was regularly forwarded to Illustrious Jones and upon examination was found to meet the requirements of the order, and the same was granted. Received High Degree On September 26, 1893, Illustrious Jones came to the District of Columbia and at the corner of Fourth and O Streets, Northwest, in what was known as Murphy's Hall, met and conferred the degree of the order upon the following, viz.: James O.

BODY OF SINGER FOUND FLOATING IN HUDSON RIVER "Sepia Bing Crosby" is Drowned Swimming in New York Waters NEW YORK—The body of Jesse S. DeArmen, well known in Harlem musical circles, and known as "Sepia Bing Crosby" was found floating in the Hudson River. Thursday. He had been in swimming. Tragedy struck quickly and effectively when the singer, together with two friends, sought refuge from the heat of the city by taking a dip just off 136th Etrect. The three, swimmingg around, were breasting the tide when they decided not to risk any accidents by battling the strong undertow. Returning to the wharf from which they had been diving, the two friends, looking around for DeArman, noticed him still swimming against the current and called to him to turn and make his way back. As they were warning him, it is said, he was caught in the vortex of a whirlpool and sank without a word. Efforts to recover the body proved fruitless, and it was not until Doris Rheubottom, New York bound on a ferry crossing the river Sunday morning, spied a body floating in the river. Miss Rheubottom, Harlem songress, now singing in the Campus Club, a New Jersey night spot, spread the alarm. The ferry was stopped and the body recovered. De Arman had sung with Teddy Hill and was featured on the band leader's nightly broadcasts about a year ago. Since then he had appeared in the Onyx Club, on Fifty-second Street until that night club burned two months ago. Since then he has been singing at theatre engagements throughout the city. He was known as the "sepia Bing Crosby."

Monday, denied that he intentionally ignored the Rock Creek Citizens' Association in preparing a list of representatives to appear on the program. Dr. C. Herbert Marshall, Jr., president of the association, flayed Engineer, Commissioner; Dan I. Sultan for failure to invite his group to participate. The three white citizens' associations in Georgetown were given prominent parts in the exercises. Dr. Marshall stated to The Tribune that Sultan knew when the bridge would be completed and should have advised his association of the program. Called Ignorant In his letter to Sultan Dr. Marshall said: "Information has come to my attention that your office is responsible for the selection of organizations participating on the program dedicating the P Street Bridge. "It, therefore, becomes my displeasure to acknowledge your ignorance or the Rock Creek Citizens' Association in making your plans for these exercises. I am sure that you were aware of the existence of this organization, it being one of the oldest associations in our city, and has been active in all civic matters for more than 15 years. Always Took Lead "I am sorry that the venom of prejudice has so impoverished your vitality that it has made you a weakling, dwarfed your spirit of true Americanism, made dull your judgment and sense of fairness. "Colored citizens have always played an important part in the development of Georgetown, and we are proud of our contribution to this city and America, and will at all times revere the traditions of our section. "It is my sincere hope that the day is not far off when you and others in positions of influence, power and authority will be strong enough, Christian enough. American enough and intelligent enough to realize that a man is a man whether his skin is black or white." Doyle Takes Blame Doyle stated to The Tribune that he did not know of the existence of the Rock Creek Association and expressed regret that the colored group was left out of the plans. "I never, heard of it," stated Doyle who said he was also informed by Major Ernest Brown superintendent of police, that there was no colored civic organization in the Georgetown area. Doyle also stated that he numbers some of his best friends among colored persons and he would not have done anything that would cast reflection on the roce or intentionally slight them in his plans for the dedicatory program. Dr. Marshall stated that the Rock Creek Association is one of the best known in the city and especially in Georgetown where it has taken part in every movement for civic betterment. He said he did not believe that Doyle or Major Brown were ignorant of the existence of the association. Costs $250,000 The new span costs a quarter of a million dollars and will be one of the main arteries serving Georgetown, which has a large colored population and is the oldest section of the city.

The measure similar to the one introduced in the House by Representative Mary T. Norton, provides for a distinct structure for a sum not exceeding $300,000. A separate building for the office of recorder is opposed by the District commissioners who claim that the work can be taken care of in the proposed juvenile court building. Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, maintains that his office will be hampered if it is forced to share a building with another District unit. Others point out that the commissioners hope to gain control over the recorder of deeds office and by having it under the same roof with the juvenile court and subject to the court officers' orders the recorder will be under the supervision of the commissioners who will use it for political purposes.
