War between Ethiopia and Italy became a virtual certainty, yesterday (Wednesday) when Italian troops invaded the Ethiopia frontier along the region of Mount Moussa Ali.
Emperor Haile Selassie warned the League of Nations at Geneva of the invasion and threatened mobilization of his troops in defiance to the fighters of Benito Mussolini.
The latest developments in the war crisis, according to late news dispatches were as follows:
Italians Invade
Addis Ababa—Emperor Haile Selassie dispatched a protest to the League of Nations at Geneva charging that Italian troops. 50,000 strong, had invaded his kingdom on the Mussa Ali frontier near the French Somali line. Fifty war planes were reported on the scene. After dispatching the protest, Emperor Selassie decided upon general mobilization of his troops.
Late Wednesday night, 250,000 Ethiopia fighters, men, women and boys, were reported on the march toward the Italian colonial frontier in anticipation of the call for general mobilization.
One hundred thousand Ethiopians were reported marching from Gondar toward the Eritrean frontier, where Italy is expected to strike. This vast army was followed by 60,000 warriors from four provinces led by Ras Muju'uget, minister of war. Another 80,000
Tribune Plans Two Editions Beginning November 5
Plans for publishing two Tribunes weekly, beginning November 5, were near completion following a meeting of the board of management late last week. The conference took several recommendations und. advisement and promised to report on its decision at a meeting tomorrow (Friday). The proposal points to the printing of the regular weekly edition of the Tribune on Friday instead of on Thursday, as is now done. The new issue, to be published on Tuesday, will be circulated in the nearby Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia areas. It is very likely that this edition will also be sent into Delaware.

troops from Jima and Wellaga province were said to be on their way to Addis Ababa to protect the capital.
Drums to Summon
In the traditional Ethiopian fashion, drums will call the warriors to arms. The beats will be taken up by other drummers in a momentous warning which will resound throughout the land. Mobilization orders already are in the hands of provisional governors.
Before making the decision, the little King conferred at length with his advisers. Some officials expressed belief war may break out even before the arrival of Italian consul agents from the interior. They have been called in for safety. The consul at Aduwa was arrested by Ethiopian officials when he attempted to cross the border into Eritrea, but later was released and is traveling under armed Ethiopian guards.
Ethiopia's protest to the League charged Italians had entered Eritrea in a triangular portion of Ethiopia in the region of Mount Mussa Ali.
The text of the protest follows:
"We inform you for communication to the Council and the states members that Italian troops have violated the Ethiopian frontier in the region south of Mount Mussa Ali, in the Province of Anssa, between that mountain and the frontier of Ethiopia and French Somaliland and have established themselves in Ethiopian territory preparing a base for extensive attack.

EXTRA WOMEN AND CHILDREN KILLED
ADUWA, Ethiopia. — Hundreds of women and children were killed here today (Thursday) when Italian planes flew over this mountain town and dropped bombs on a helpless population, . . .
Emperor Haile Selassie has issued a preclamation ordering the entire population of his country to arms. Aduwa has a population of 5,000 and was the chief objective, with Adigrat, to the east, and other smaller tribal villages as minor objectives whose occupation was essential to the plan of strategy of Gen. Emilio de Bono, commander-in-chief of the Italian armies.
The only hope of even noticeable defense against the Italian armies was the plan of strategy carefully worked out by the emperor, his gaudily carapisoned chicks and the handful of foreign military advisers, Swedish, Belgian and Turkish, who have helped to whip a small part of the tribal army into shape.
The plan was for guerilla warfare. It has been reported persistently that Geat Britain has advised the emperor not to seek a fight with the Italianes but to retreat as the Italianes advance in order that the League may continue to work for peace without making the war in which both sides seek the offensive.
The country along the frontiers has been plotted into sections. In each three square miles there are to be 600 men, to remain there until driven out by the Italianes. These men are commanded by local chiefs intimately acquainted with the terrain. They are able to live on the country because of their sparse numbers. Their scattered posting enables them to move quickly and makes it difficult for airplanes or machine guns or artillery to work against them.
ADDIS ABABA—Fierce fight- line and the retreat of Italian forces was reported Wednesday night from Tigre provinces, the buffer between Eritrea and the interior of Ethiopia.
SEGREGATION IS CHARGED TO D.C. TRANSIT COMP'Y
Mrs. P. F. Lewis Claims She Was Forced to Sit in Rear
Another case of segregation was brought to the attention of the Civil Liberties Department of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, this week when Mrs. P. F. Lewis, 1751 I. P. Street, Northwest, charged that she had been forced to the rear of a bus while en route to Annapolis, Md.
The bus line, the Pennsula Transit Corp., with its terminal at 1403 New York Avenue, Northwest has been substituted for the W. B. & A. line, an interurban that operated between Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis.
On the electric cars there was no segregation between those points, but the substituted bus line, according to Mrs. Lewis, has instituted a policy of segregating the Negroes from the white customers, as soon as the bus has crossed the District line into Maryland.
Mrs. Lewis is a frequent user of the bus line, having no other means of going to Annapolis, she said. Her husband is a prominent physician in Annapolis. Henry Lincoln Johnson, an attorney for the Civil Liberties League, has taken the case over for investigation. His investigation of the facts have not yet been completed, he said.
Unveil Statue of Catholic Negro in New York

Edward Hughes, who is editor of the Torch and founder of the Blessed Martin Guild preach-d the sermon, more than 5,000 atrons have enrolled in the guild. Father Hughes said.

James B. Walker Accused of Beating Wife in Latter's Divorce Action
Accusing her husband, James B. Walker, an employee in the Treasury Department, of cruelty and abusive treatment, Mrs. Katheryn Owens Walker, 1215 Harvard Street, Northwest, entered suit for a limited divorce last week.
a limited divorce last week.
The action, filed through Attorney Richard W. Thompkins, of the firm, French, Thompkins and Owens, was placed on the blotter of equity division of the District Supreme Court.
Married on November 18, 1925, the Walkers, according to the petition of the wife, lived together in Detroit, Mich., until 1928, when they moved to this city.
A year later, however, Mrs. Walker states, their troubles began.
Becoming suddenly abusive the wife avers, Mr. Walker, without provocation, set upon her and began abusing her, calling her vile names and threatening her. She says he struck her in the fit of anger.
The ruffled waters of their matrimonial sea calmed for a short while thereafter, the wife asserts, and they lived together for five years in peace and quiet. But an Southern boy, of her year, Mrs. Walker tells the court, her husband again became cruel. He attacked and beat her to such an extent that she was compelled to seek medical attention from Dr. Joseph E. Trigg.
After that disturbance, the wife declares, she left their home, afraid lest he again become enraged and do her bodily harm, something that he had reputedly threatened on numerous occasions.
In her prayers to the court, Mrs. Walker declares her husband receives $125 monthly salary, and she asks that he be redered to provide for her and their two daughters.

MARYLAND U. LAW SCHOOL ADMITS COLORED STUDENT
Registration in School Increases
BALTIMORE, Md.—There was no excitement either among white students or officials of the law school of the University of Maryland on Tuesday when Donald Gaines Murray, 22-year-old colored student, registered for the school term

Murray's appearance received little or no notice from other students and Dean D. Roger Howell declined to make any comment on Murray's enrollment other than to say that pending the decision of the highest court in the state he would be on equal footing with other students. Contrary to predictions made by the white officials of the university, that the enrollment of a Negro student would cause heavy cancellations on the part of white students, it was announced that enrollment in the law school this year is ten per cent above last year, and that there is also an increase in the student body of the university at College Park.
The Maryland Court of Appeals is to consider in October the appeal of the university from the decision of the Baltimore city court
The discipline committee of Howard University, last Tuesday afternoon, reversed the decision of dean of men William B. West, who had suspended two students for one semester, and reduced the penalty to ten days, when it was decided that the penalty imposed by the dean was too severe in consideration of the offense charged.
The Howard University campus was thrown into a turmoil and an antagonistic uprising loomed among the student body as Dean of Men William B. West announced the suspension of two students, one a senior, the other a sophomore, last Saturday afternoon.
The students, James Boyd, sophomore, of Jamaica, L.L. and Elihu Morson, senior, from White Plains, N.Y., were suspended by Dean West for one semester when it was learned that the boys had been sleeping in Clark Hall without having a room assigned to them.
Talk of Strikes
Word of the suspension, coming only a week after school had opened, spread throughout the campus and the city like wildfire, and within a short time forces were at work to have the university committee review the case and (See STUDENTS) Page 3.)

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
No politician, educator or writer on the face of the globe ever, in the history of mankind, has occupied the same strategic position in which Joseph Louis Barrow, aged 21, finds himself today.
The name Joseph Louis Barrow is nothing to deal with. It does not now hold a place in history and it probably never will. The man is practically unknown. Traveling with the name with which he was christened, by which he went to school and socialized (his social life consisted mostly of sitting on the corner store bread-box) he is a nobody.
But by another name, one he adopted at the same time he chose his lifework, he is the toast of a nation. As Joe Louis, prizefighter, he is the "greatest piece of human handiwork ever produced by Mother Nature." And in paying this tribute an extolling nation's press does not differentiate between the races.
The Detroit Dynamiter, as he is called by an adulating public, has the world at his feet. He has won for himself and for the group to which he belongs, a keener admiration, a greater respect than has ever been the black man's before.
With his two fists of might and power he pounds into submission an adversary of the prize ring. And for this he comes nearer, in one stride, to traversing the gap between the races than all previous attempts by individuals and organizations combined. Thus an ordinary Negro becomes a medium of racial good-will because he succeeds in battering an unpopular white man into a state of helplessness.
By a superior swiftness, a surer aim, a greater strength and perhaps a colder heart, he smacks down another. He piles him into a senseless heap, devoid of locomotion and the energy or will to rise. His opponent lies there grovelling in the dust at his feet, the object of derision, laughter and wise-cracks.
Ninety thousand people stand and cheer as they see his hand raised in conquest. Ninety million people throughout the nation slap their thighs or toss their hats or yell their pleasure as word of the battle's outcome is relayed to them.
Joe Louis, prizefighter, becomes a black Jehovah. And like a bride's train is dragged along behind her, black America is dragged along by Louis. And gutter-like travel though it is, black America is grateful because he is taking it somewhere—only Providence knows where.
If that is the way we must reach our goal—if equality of mankind can be called a goal—then I suppose it just must be. But this writer is regretful—deeply regretful.
My business is to extol athletes and to exploit athletics, but in doing so, so help me. I cannot forget those things which to me seem bigger and far more important.
It seems to me we should concern ourselves with the realization that Doughlass, Washington and Dunbar were overlooked, and that "Old Black Joe," mythical character of a Dixie plantation, was made the subject of a white man's song.
And getting closer to home and today, we must grin and bear it when we are made aware almost daily, that a world boasting Nordic supremacy hails Calloway and Armstrong, two bellowing nincompoons in comparison, as far more famous than Robeson and Hayes.
Louis, prizefighter, with a fourth grade education and the urge to talk in mere monosyllables, scores where such Negro notables as Lynch, DePriest, Walton, Cook, Garrison and Miller failed to reach first base.
I can hardly appreciate Arthur Brisbane's comparison of the black fighter with the Jewish scientist, nor the line he draws between the ebon broad-jumper and the Caucasian aviator-inventor. But as I sit in my present mood I can share the depth of thought behind his writings.
A lust for conquest, a revelling at the sight of a blood-smeared panic-stricken countenance, and the figurative sight of one warrior pounding his breasts and screaming his jungle-like cry of triumph, proves to be the elevating influence which raises a brow-beaten black group from the slough of cultural inferiority to the plane of social equality.
And so Joe Louis, prizefighter, becomes an inter-racial influence, not because he is the greatest man in the race, but because he stands alone as the king of modified murder.
As such he becomes the most effective agent through which greater tolerance can be brought about between two peoples. This is twentieth century civilization

Calisthenics was on program the first day. Rough work at blocking and tackling began on the second day. Saturday the first hard scrimmage was held.

Record Crowd Expected to Witness Twinbill With Cheyney and Miner Teachers' College Elevens; Coaches Confident
At the Furlong Pole
A crowd of nearly 16,000 turned out for the opening day's sport of fall racing, Tuesday, when Laurel Park celebrated the return of the thoroughbreds to the nearby major strips. Colored turf followers took the cue and put in their appearance in large numbers. President Andrew J. (Cy) Cummings, white, intimated that Tuesday's attendance gave indication of a keener interest in the sport than has prevailed in the past five seasons.
By ART CARTER
The largest opening day crowd in the gridiron history of Howard University is expected to file through the turnstiles at the university stadium, Saturday, when the Bisons launch their 1935 football campaign' with a doubleheader attraction, the first ever played in the District.
In the initial encounter the charges of Coach Charlie West will meet Cheyney Institute of Cheyney, Pa., and in the second battle Miner Teachers' College, local rivals, who trampled National Training School under a 47-0 score last week, will furnish the opposition. The opening game is slated for 1 p.m., with the nightcap starting at 3 p.m.
West Confident
Never in the annals of gridiron history has such a feat been attempted. However, Coach West and his two youthful assistants, Joseph Cole and Ewart McGruder, feel confident that their charges can mount the high hurdle. I mash much as training activities were hampered last week by university registration, an untried team will bear the Bison hopes in the dual assignment.
Carrying the semblance of a "real contest," the first scrimmage was held Saturday with the so-called "B" team nosing out the regulars by the narrow edge of 7-6. Giggles Stallings, fleet back, raced 70 yards with a backout of a punt and then booted the extra point from placement to give the underdogs the advantage. Power driving from midfield with Anderson, Odell Pryor, a newcomer and former Wilberforce player; Paul Perkins, ace punter, and Snuffy Johnson teamed to register the first team's touchdown

In all probability, the starting backfield Saturday will find only Perkins and Anderson at their old posts, with John Oxley, nephew of Lt. Lawrence A. Oxley, adviser in the Department of Labor, and Stallings augmenting the ball tot-

A crowd of nearly 10,000 turn of fall racing, Tuesday, when Laure the thoroughbreds to the nearby mook took the cue and put in their appea Andrew J. (Cy) Cummings, whiteance gave indication of a keener i vailed in the past five seasons.
Officials reported that upward of 700 horses are available for racing at the "Saratoga of Maryland," and stated that more are expected later in the month when the lure of the larger nurses in New York and New England is exhausted. The usual seven races daily will be in vogue throughout the 25-day session, with the card increased to eight events on days when steeplechase competitions are held. Laurel, unlike other major Maryland tracks, takes its allowance of 25 days for the year at one time, Havre de Grace, Bowie and Pimlico split their seasons, taking 13 days in the spring and 12 days in the fall, or vice versa. The popular ova' just 20 miles out of Washington holds no spring meetings. The current campaign, the ecore represents the entire number of days allotted each track by the state.
Clarence Reid, the little Washington youngster who not long ago lost his apprentice "bug" at Havre, raids his first winner as a full-fledged jockey aboard Wandrel at the same spot last Friday. Reid, hampered by a lingering summer cold and its attendant fever, met with indifferent success on New England tracks the past summer. Strangely enough, it was at Narragansett and Rockingham that the little Negro hardboot first gained the attention and respect of turf experts a year ago. Reid is expecting to establish himself as a pilot of the first water during the current meeting at the midway spot on the Baltimore-Washington highway.
Whether or not Forever Yours, the good filly being primed for the Selima Stakes at Laurel, October 19, is to be nominated for the Belmont Futurity, scheduled for the week before, is of great interest to close followers of the turf here.

In the Belmont event, Mrs. Ethel V. Mars' thoroughbred will be called on to face such horses as Red Rain, Vale victorian, Grand Slam, Blen Joll, Crossbow, Teddy Boy, Sun Teddy, Sangreal, White Cockade, Tintagel, Jean Bart, Granville, Snark and Proclivity. That is, of course, if she runs.
If Trainer McGarvey decides to point his star filly to the Maryland event, the Milky Way people will not be without strong representation, as Sangreal is also the property of the Mars interests. And Sangreal is considered by them to be a better horse than their The Fighter.
Washington interest in Forever Yours is simply that she, a Mary-bred horse, promises to follow in the footsteps of Nellie Flag, winner of last year's Selima, and who was a serious contender in all this year's principal 3-year-old events.
Although Matt Smart, veteran Negro trainer for the Breckenridge Long and Admiral Cary T. Grayson stables, tells us that he has nothing on his string "to write home about," we are, nevertheless, keeping our eyes on him and his charges. Smart was never one to express satisfaction, openly, on any of the horses over which he is paid to keep watch. We know that Legume, Stage Whisper and Happy Easter, the latter owned by his wife, Mrs. Katherine Smart, can be counted on to make things lively for the opposition any time they are sent to the post.
Just as "Tout," author of this column, begged you readers to bear with Omaha in his poor early season races last year, he is making the first claim to advising you on the prospects of Speed to Spare. 2-year-old of the large Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt string.

Tomorrow Night's Battle May Mean Much in Fight For 1935 CIAA Bunting
BALTIMORE. Md. — Whether Morgan will retain her C.I.A.A.crown for the fourth successive year depends largely upon what she will do on Friday at 8 o'clock when the A. and T. Aggies come to town to lay their bid for the 1935 title.
It is expected that the '35 edition of the Aggies will be one of the best grid machines that has ever come out of the hills of the Tarheel State. The Breauxmen will have somewhat of a veteran team, losing only five lettermen through the graduation route.
This game will probably be one of the best contests in the East this season for red-blooded grid fans. There will be a variety of plays used by each team. There will be a difference in offensive and defensive formations. On the offensive the Breauxmen use the single wingback formation while the Hurtmen employ the double wingback formation.
Yellow Jacket Eleven to Have Boosters' Club
The Washington Yellow Jacket Club, at its meeting Monday, elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Hazard Starkes, president; William Hunter, vice president; William Lucas, secretary; Aubrey Gilliam, treasurer; Carroll Williams, business manager, Charles R. Gray is parliamentarian of the club.
The main object of the club is to sponsor activities and to serve as a "boosters" club for the Yellow Jacket athletic teams.
The football team is hard at work under the guidance of their veteran coaches. Eddie "Luke" Lee, and Charles "Jim" Gray.
Wilberforce Scores Over West Ky. in Opener
XENIA, Ohio.—The opening of the 1935 football season at Wilberforce here Saturday brought joy to more than 800 students, faculty, alumni and friends from neighboring cities, as the Bull Dogs trampled a fighting, game West Kentuckp team. The Bull Dogs surprised the spectators with the use of the Rocke system rather than the old Warner system so common to the former Forecan teams. And the visitors were humbled, 21-0. Jenkins, the Fort Wayne Express, was switched on the right track twice by his team mates in the second and third quarters and scored 12 of 'Force's points.
Moore Signed for Phy Ed Post at Virginia State
PETERSBURG, Va. — James A. Moore, former director of physical education at Bluefield Teachers College, will step into the shoes of the late and lamented "Sunny Jim" Barnes at Virginia State College, on June 15, 1936. President John M. / Gandy announced last week at the opening exercises of the Virginia institution. And so Jimmy Moore, well known in C. I. A.

Looking up Speed to Spare, we learn he is a son of Balko, that splendid all-weight winner so familiar to Maryland race-goers a few years back. And Balko was a stallion by Omar Khayyam. How's that?
That's not all. On the other side, Speed to Spare has a boast not the possession of all his fellows. His mother is The Spare, born a daughter of the neer forgotten John B. Crian. Not bad.

DISTRICT AMATEUR GOLF PLAY GETS UNDER WAY
Small Field Takes Off At Lincoln Course; Williams, Adams Card Lows
The qualifying and first round of match play of the District Amateur Golf Championship got under way last Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial Golf Course. The number of entries this year was small, only sixteen seeing fit to match their skill for the local honor. Owing to the small number of entries the field was split into eights, the low eight qualifiers representing the championship flight and the remainder the second flight. Dr. George Adams and Jimmy Williams led the qualifying field with low scores of 63. William Carter, with a score of 71, was the last of the first eight to get under the wire.

7:45 p.m.
Timely hitting, steady fielding and airtight pitching were the three factors which thwarted the bid of Lefty Whitlock's Georgetown Athletics for the District sandlot and semi-pro baseball title at Green Valley Park, Va., Sunday. Their nemesis, the Aztee A. C., diamond outfit, not only tripped them by scores of thereby annulling any claim the west-enders had to the championship, but they threw the local baseball situation into a complete muddle as well.
Were "Cocks of Walk"
The Georgies, until Sunday, had been riding the crest of the wave. They had under their belts, decisions over any and all of the leading city teams. Among these were decisive triumphs over the Hillsdales, defending champions, and the LeDroit Tigers, winners of the Tri-State League bunting.
Victory over the southwest aggregation was pointed to by Georgetown followers as the crowning achievement for their season's sihedule.
But the Aztec tossers felt differently about it. They journeyed to the Arlington ball yard with a determination to stop the march of the 1933 title-holders.
Outplayed Georgies
The brand of ball they played was far superior to that of their Northwest rivals.
The big guns of the Georgetown attack were silenced by stellar Aztec mound work. And sensational fielding put the finishing touch on a well done job.
Thus the Aztecs who bowed to the Hillsdales, who in turn were humbled by Georgetown, stopped the latter and jumbled the local baseball pie.

SUSPENSION OF ARMSTRONG PUPIL CALLED UNFAIR
Quinn Tells School Board That J. Q. Adams Was At Fault in Brawl
The suspension of Harry J. Carter, a student in the Armstrong High School, was protested Wednesday afternoon by Henry I. Quinn, white, member of the Board of Education, at a meeting of the board, Wednesday afternoon. Carter was suspended on the order of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, after the Board of Education had approved his recommendation for the suspension of J. Q. Adams, a teacher in the Armstrong High School, for an alleged altercation with Carter. Quinn told the board that the suspension of the student was "outrageous," and that the teacher should have been the only one penalized.
"That boy was only 17 years old." Quinn said, "and if the teacher couldn't control himself, how do we expect the boy to control himself. That boy simply wanted to burst the balloon of Adam's ego and succeeded in doing it." Quinn told the board.
The board was told by Quinn that it was largely through the parents of Carter that Adams did not lose his job entirely.
Carter was said to have been struck by Adams, when Adams was called a boy scout by Carter, who saw him dressed in military uniform.
Reflection on Scouts
"Carter's calling Adams a boy scout was a reflection on boy scouts rather than on Adams," Quinn said. George E. C. Hayes, attorney, appeared before the board in the interest of Miss Bernice Brandon, a victim of the Multiple Employment Act, who resigned when the board misinterpreted the Act. Hayes is asking that Mrs. Brandon be reinstated rather than be considered for reappointment. Mrs. Brandon does not meet the present requirements for reappointment. Mrs. E. Y. Taylor, through her attorney, W. L. Houston, appeared before the board to protest the failure of the board to consider her for appointment to a clerkship, vacancy which existed a few days ago and to which another person employed. The matter was referred to the personnel committee, who will hear Mr. Houston on the matter October 7.
Dr. Ballou was to recommend at the meeting that she be declared eligible for reappointment as of October 3, but inasmuch as a protest was before the board, he delayed his recommendation until the question had been settled, without prejudice to the effect of the recommendation
Three Teachers Retire
The retirements of three teachers were reported. They were Miss Amaleta Alexander, teacher of household arts; W. D. Nixon, teacher, Dunbar High School, and Miss J. E. Wormley, teacher of music.

LETTER
(Continued from Page 9) clergy when he fostered the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The local colored ministers interviewed by this reporter took the President to task for the segregation of Negroes in his various relief programs
The Rev. R. A. Fairley, president of the Interdenominational Ministers' Conference and pastor of Tabor, Presbyterian Church, stated that he had not answered the President's letter, but he would certainly tell him about segregation of Negroes and how cooled persons are forced to submit to jimcrow. Another thing Dr. Fairley will bring to the Chief Executive's attention is the anti-lynching bill which was filibustered out of the last congress. Dr. Fairley was active on various organizations which protested against segregation in government circles and was instrumental in having some of these conditions corrected. He said he was in accord with the social security program, but would insist that prejudice as to race, color and creed be kept out of this piece of legislation.
Tells of Poor Housing
The Rev. E. A. Christian, rector of St. Mary's P.E. Church, also received one of the form letters. He stated that he had not answered it, but would. At that time he will call attention to the conditions in his community. "People are out of work and housing conditions are poor," said Dr. Christian.
The Rev. Robert M. Williams, pastor of Asbury M.E. Church, said, "I believe the President is sincere. I shall give him my unbiased opinion. I think it is mighty fine of the President to guage sentiment through the ministers. I shall not give critical views of discrimination in relief. I shall give true conditions."
The Rev. A. A. Birch, vicar of St. George's Chapel, stated that he is answering the letter, but did not intimate what the answer will be.
Letter Called Gesture
The Rev. Robert W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, called attention to the social security program which will aid humanity, hit failure of the passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, cited instances of mob violence, reminded the President of the many promises he made and failed to keep, and Jim-crow in CCC camps where there are 300,000 youths and less than 20,000 colored. He pointed out that white officers in many instances are employed in colored camps while Negro officers are fully competent to fill many positions in the camps. Dr. Brooks summed up his letter by calling the President's inquiry a gesture
The Rev. Dr. Henry D. Campbell, pastor of the Deane Avenue Presbyterian Church, approved of the President's program.

The Rev. Arthur F. Elmes, pastor of People's Congregational Church, summed up the attitude of most of the colored ministers when he urged the President to use his office to enforce a square deal for underprivileged groups. Dr. Elmes said: "As a minister serving a minority group, permit me to urge continued reiteration with all the necessary pressures of this just policy, so that those named to administer the social security and work relief program may feel compelled to conform to the will of Congress and of the Chief Executive, and that human welfare shall include the happiness of America's downmost man
Underlings Biased
"The people among whom I encounter the most disturbing dissatisfaction and who come to the minister for help most often are those who have no influence of wealth, political or economic standing, who are discouraged by being the victims of a system which makes it too easy for administrative officials to evade the obligation of an unbiased distribution of benefits under these new laws." Dr. Elmes, like all of the other ministers, approved of the social security legislation, but insisted that the Negro be given the same benefits as other groups.

Well the thud of the pigskin will resound over the Hill Saturday when the Bisons meet Cheney and Miner. I hear a lot of gab about how dumb Coach West was to sign up two teams on the same day with his inexperienced line, but coaches know a little more about how to run a team than these esquire football stars. Just hold your opinion until after Saturday.
Personally the X thinks that the Bisons will win both games easily in spite of the fact that Bish Hart and Pat Patterson are the only last year regulars on the front wall.

Jessie Owens will be in D.C. Saturday and the X has just learned that the A.A.U. board has advised Jessie not to run in any more races until they notify him of his amateur standing.
Jack Blackburn, trainer of Joe Louis, has taken over the training of John Henry Lewis who fights Bob Oldin for the light heavyweight title soon. If John Henry Lewis wins the title from Oldin this winter and Joe Louis wins the heavyweight title from Braddock next summer, Negroes will dominate the ring championships and Blackburn will go down in the hall of fame as one of the greatest trainers of all time.
Louis Aikens is again wearing dark glasses on his heart for all but Vivian Weaver. George Bullock and Louise Amos ankled the stem arm in arm as they went to view China Seas. George Butler, recently appointed in Howard's Economics Department, will have to be on his p's and q's this fall as he swings local "dinners".

Marguerite Talbert has that guilty smile as she allows Burrow Jackson to mutilate the back of the love-smitten Billy Wilson. What?

Carol Harris is building up a terrific let down with Rossman (W. Va.) TURPEAU, brudder of ANGELO. Mariana Beck, Buddie Cowan, Bobby Scurlock and the petite lass from Dixie were among spies to view the Presidential regate Sunday.
It was mentioned here that Marion Smallwood, soror of Bill would fail to complete one of those weekly round trips to Philly, where she enjoyed the proximity of a certain "G" man. Well, Marion has done just that thing—and to think she has been married since September 17 and will make her home in the city of brudder love.
Those Arabs that folded their tents and silently stole away, didn't have a thing on Roger Johnson, who pulled the same trick on his old flames when Jewell James, the Oklahoma misses hit Dee Co. Norma Ottey has been vacationing these past weeks in Noo Yawk. Norma moved from Brooklyn to Harlem to broaden her last days at the apple.
A young lady in S.E. Washington has in her possession a most unique souvenir of Joe Louis. He was guest in her home as he retreated from the thundering crowds that blocked his S Street mansion.
The blond lady (KILLER) Clif Jones escorted Norma Wilkens to a recent party given by Jane. Clif gave his version of a drunk imitating Joe Louis with a crashing right and repeated left jabs. However, Skeebie Onley and Ralph Harlan objected to Norma's imitation of Max Baer. Boys, don't rush, but Virginia State has a very choice collection of enchanting females this year and they are complaining against the shortage of males. . .
Marguerite Paxton pulled a fast one on her friesds and tied the knot with one Edgar Lewis over the week-end. Her friends are wearing those Jekyll and Hyde smiles when they offer their congratulations. Leroy "Cotton" Wallace is confined to his crib, just one of life's bitters, the kid rates a card from youse guys and youse gals.
I guess you have noticed that self assured grin on the mug of Bernard Ruffin. The love'y Alma Murray is the reason. My, what tough hands he must have to pat his own back so long and hard.

At the Howard Theatre's midnight show, last week Coleridge Davis' guests were Billy Pipin, Bobby Scurlock, Buddie Cowan, Lucas Howard, Ada Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Dowling and Mr. and Mrs. John Pinkett.

The announcement of the opening of a French studio, by Miss Valarie Parks, was received with great acclamation, from various circles this week.
Miss Parks, a product of the Washington school system, was graduated from Howard University, with the degree of bachelor of arts, in 1933. She majored in French, and was graduated magna cum laude. In 1935 she received the degree of master of arts from Howard University.
Her work at Howard University, as a student, was particularly outstanding, and the announcement of the opening of her studio brought favorable comment from her former instructors.
"She speaks French like a native," commented Mrs. Mollie Brewer, her teacher of French in the Dunbar High School.
"She was my pupil in Dunbar High School. When she left my class and entered Howard University, her professor told me that she was the best reader of French in his entire class. She had the best pronunciation of any student he had ever taught, the professor told me," Mrs. Mollie said.
At Howard University, Dr. Valarez B. Spratlin, head of the department of romance languages, remarked:
"In opening a French studio, Miss Parks is making an invaluable contribution to the cause of French in the community. Her purpose meets a well-established need. Students who desire aid through coaching, parents who

MISS VALARIE PARKS would have their children begin the story of French at an early age, when speech habits are in the making, and persons interested in French, who do not find it convenient to study in the more formal atmosphere of the classroom will welcome this opportunity for instruction under a competent teacher.
"As holder of the Master's degree, Miss Parks is well prepared for such a program. I feel that hers will be an animated and enthusiastic presentation that will
inspire her students with a love for French."
Miss Parks has opened her studio at 423 Hobart Place, Northwest, and is giving courses in conversational French, and will do coaching.
She will coach students of the junior and senior high school level, as well as children who are just entering school.

What It Means to Live Here Now
Every person in a community plays
some part in its life, exactly as each
letter in any word and each word in a
sentence. Failure to understand and
live up to that responsibility has cost
us heavily. Following the Emancipa-
tion Proclamation, many people of
color did nothing, while others grasped
the individual responsibility placed
upon them and began to make them-
selves into citizens.
Following the enactment of the 14th
and 15th amendments to the Constitu-
tion, again all too many persons cov-
ered by those guarantees failed to do
their part; hence a relapse into virtual
political and economic slavery. But
the Southern states acted at once; not
only by means of the Ku Klux Klan,
designed to frighten and cow the igno-
rant and weak and superstitious, but
by means of their lawyers. No sooner
had the Supreme Court and Congress
interpreted the 14th amendment as cov-
ering civil rights and the 15th as mak-
ing voters of citizens of African des-
cent, than the “police powers” of the
states advanced as a new device “to
, keep the Negro down.” a
States’ rights had just been reduced
by public opinion shown in support-
ing a costly and bloody war, and the
Union or Beceral Government made
dominant, when “the sovereignty of
the state” arose bloody but unbowed
and enacted a series of laws and insti-
tuted a set of practices that produced
discrimination, segregation and virtual
nullification of those amendments.
“HEALTH, SAFETY and MORAL-
ITY” were introduced as the magic by
which the rights to life, liberty and
property of people of color were to be
subordinated to those wo were non-
colored. Every segregative ordinance
and every discriminating law are based
upon these three magic words; merely
a legal action.
‘This, then, is the point of attack for
every citizen of every community. A
higher health condition, a lower arrest
and criminal record, and a more rigid
standard of morals will remove the
basis for every appeal by ‘the dominant
group for our separation from equal
privileges before the law.
With the 100th anniversary of the
Emancipation just 28 years off, a sin-
gle generation, every man, woman and
child may dedicate himself to making
that occasion mark the upstanding of
freemen instituted by that significant
liberty document.
Organizations for accomplishing
progress in health, safety and morality
can and should engage the attention
from now forward. Families, neigh-
borhoods, communities. states now have
@ program in which all may join with
assurance of being richt and useful,
Washington is taking the lead. (April
16, 1862. was its date.) Organize for
1963! (January 1, 1863, was the na
tional date.)
To Young Colored Americans
National questions concern us. But
matters closer to our daily lives get
more attention. Only by taking thought
and directing interest, discussion and
action, however, may we give proper
concern to those questions which lie
at the base of our daily lives as well
as underlie the national life.
It is pleasant and assuring to know
that the Declaration of Independence
asserts our rights to “life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.” as intimate
as our skins, and not to be taken away
without grave injury; but persons are
lynched and no one punished; mil¥ons
Pay taxes in the states where they live
and were born yet have no voice, vote
Bor office in the government.
That an immense majority of those
persons have color in their faces, makes
the failure of that guarantee of prime
importance to others similarly marked,
The Constitution of the United States
changes that guarantee slight]y and of
fers protection to “property.” along
with life and liberty, by covering them
with “due process of law.” This makes
the Constitution and its enforcement
of basic interest, and invites vivilance
to protect its security.
But the Constitution also provide
the machinery of government ty carry
out its provisions, Hence the jen s«

they are mere peasants and not Ameri
can citizens. They produce oligarchies
and tyrants by flinging away intelli
gent self-respect and power which flow
through those who may then act in
their own interest.
In twelve states South, with a popu-
lation of twenty-nine million persons,
thus providing one hundred seven
Congressmen at Washington, in addi-
ee to thousands of state officials and
municipal employees, but four and a
quarter million citizens voted in the
election of 1950. But in amly four
‘states, taken from the North and West,
in which twenty-nine million persons
live, and also send ane hundred seven
Congressmen to Washington, as many
as ten million nine hundred thousand
citizens voted in 1930.
Here we have 39,000 voters making
one Congressman in one section and
96,000 necessary to do the same thing
in the other. The Constitution is drawn
to meet this situation, and provides in
its 15th amendment that the number
of Congressmen is to be reduced in pro-
portion to the number of citizens de-
nied the right to vote because of race,
color or having been slaves.
Such a minority with so much power
over the lives and destinies of the whole
people, and the world for that matter,
is possible beeause persons of color do
not make preparation for citizenship
and act as citizens by playing the part
they must play if “life, iiberty and
property” are to be covered by “due
process of law.”
The courts, state and federal, reflect
that lack of power among citizens of
color, and decide in agreement with
that dominant sentiment shown by
those who do assume the privileges and
responsibilities. As you become 21
years of age, think of these things.
You are to be invested with the high
rank of “American citizen” and must
prepare to put on the whole armor.
Privileges are private rights, and re-
sponsibilites are powers to strike back.

Mr. Hoover says the present Demo-
cratic administration is “invading
states’ rights." The Democratic party
has always been the “states’ rights”
party, but apparently the party is “go-

party is “going Democratic.” Well,
this very thing happened once before
in our nation’s history, so “anything
can happen” now.

He pastored in Virginia and the District. He
‘built churches at Sideburn and Herndon; he

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING OUT
Kelly Miller Discusses | Observations on
Huey Long and THE ‘OLD A THE NE
The Negro ising, tated, intimataly
Senator Huey Long, of Louisiana, gave pro-
testation against unequal wealth, power ani
orivilege a grotesque, spectactlar and melo-
dramatic embodiment ang its loudest carrying
voice. Like Andrew Jackson and Abraham
Lincoln, he was a product of the conditions
against which he rebelled. But, unlike Wil-
iiam Jennings Bryan and Robert LaFollette.
‘who embodies the radicalism ef the West, he
‘was confronted by the problem of race as well
as of class. .
Since the overthrew of Reconstruction,
numerous leaders have risen up in the South
in protest againt unequai conditions based
spon the old slaveholding aristocracy. Pro-
test was first launched against the concentrs-
tion of political power im the hands @f the
eld slave-bolding oligarchy.
To this end. attempt was made to unite the
underprivileged whites and the Negeo: im ean-
overlordship. General William Maltone, of
Virginia, himself ef aristocratic Dirth and
training, wrested Virginia from the Demo-
exatic party. which at that time stood for
aristocracy in southern polities, Ha heli po-

under the guise of populism.

Then Benjamin R. Tillman, the stormy
petvel of South Carolina, came with = naw
political purpese which would wrest power
from the aristocratic whites and at the sime
time reduce the Negro to a political nuility-

Georgia. though possessing infnitely less
originality and virility than Tillman, neverthe-
less rose to power in their several states by
imitating bis method.
Tom Watson of Georgia sought the govern-
orship on the populist ticket by appealing to
Negro voters; but failing in this, he after
wards adopted the Tillman policy of dealing
out hatred and slaughter against the Negro’s
nolitical claims, and was elected to the United
States Senate as the resu‘t of his anti-Negro
propaganda.
The Tillman policy became the dominant
Political method of the South which remains
in force until this very day. Although feel-
‘ing secure in their tenure of power, the pres-
ent-day southern politician no longer deems it
necessary to dramatize his antagonism against
the powerless race.
Huey Long Enters
‘the Political Horizon
Then sudden!y upsprings Huey P. Long
from the lowlands of Louisiana, like Melehise-
dee of old, without antecedents or beginning
of days, and startles his state and the nation
with the tocsin of “Share the Wealth.” He
forced himself to the forefront by the power
of a phrase which the poor whites heard glad-
ly. He swiftly swept the plantation over‘ords
from power and held the political destiny of
Louisiana in the hollow of his hand. This
startling upstart seized the reins of power to
the utter humiliation of the traditional ruling
elas whose bitter hatred led to the deep dam-
nation of his taking off. Louisiana was the
last stronghold of the slaveholding olicarchy
and plantation aristocracy in the politics of
the South.
Huey Makes Passive
Gesture to Negroes
Huey Long did not include the Negro as a
participant in his program, but made allow-
ance for him as a passive recipient of its
benefits. Politically and socia‘ly, he left the
Negro where he found him and neither ad-
vanced nov retarded his statue; but in im-
proving the general educational and eco-
nomic conditions of his state, the Negro re-
zeived the portion which trickled down to him.
When asked how the Negro would fare un-
der the “share the wealth” regime, he replied
that he would receive the minimum, This,
alas, seems to be the Negro’s fate whether
under the old or the new deal.
Out, of a salutary prudence the Negroes of
Louisiana were not mentioned in his “share
the wealth” campaign, for had he insisted in
yiving a place to the Negro, he himself would
not have been heard.
Senator Long stated that he would appeal
to the Negroes in the North, who have the
vote, to Join in his “share the wealth” move-
ment, but would make no appeal to the vote-
less Negroes in the South. He did not pro-
pose to take up the eudgel on behalf of those
who would not help themselves The “share
the wealth” movement is not an altruistic
philanthropy.

History Tells the Story
Conditions in America today are
due to the decay of the study of
the classics. Time was when men
were prepared for leadership by
priests who set theri minds upon
cumandments to the gods of the
time. Later, leaders sought men
wie could guide them in realizing
worldly success by war or wealth
and power. The success of Shakes-
peaze in England followed his
teaching of moral ends through
practical ‘means; this was. the
cause of the rise of the theatre
generally.
Christ used the same plan in
established the new dispensation.
Every religion is based upon the
hold it exercises over man by its
means of attaining some ultimate
‘goal. Before Judaism, religions
moved slowly through study of in-
fuences upon, but outside of, the
fe of man. Judaism brought
forth slowly through the centur-
ies a single God, at first local, (I
‘Chron. 17-5), then a war God,
(Joshua 10-11), next terrible
(Deut, 17-1) and later superman,
| Gen, 1-27).
| As a minority group, the Jews
|were made slaves by conquest un-
jtil led forth from bondage by
Moses who made laws to govern
|:bem ‘and mold them into a racial
solidarity. Becoming _ self-con-
|scious of racial destiny they
ultimately set up a kingdom which
by division split about 937 B.C,
(Kings and Chronicles). ‘The
monarehy began with Saul and
was followed by David and Solo-
mon, then overthrown, anq the
Jews again made captives. Always
Subject to. influences from sur-
rounding and dominant nations,
Jewish leaders had to rely upon
stories of Jewish heroes and the
race history to keep remnants of
the peopte loyal to the basic ideas:
‘The book of Revelations arose un-
der the power of Alexander the
Great. Lamentations contain five
poems on the destruction of Jeru:
salem, Job describes the wise man
in adversity, after the Exile; Ee-
clesiastes, the wise man in ‘pros-
Perity, about 200 BC. Bara and
fehemiah give us chronicles of the
Jewish court ang kings,
Knowing history of othtr peoples
at this same time makes this his-
tory of the growth of the highest
moral ideal, convincing and pro-
vides us with a sanction for a life
program, especia'ly as a member
of a minority group.
Characteristics of the System
‘The earliest religion of Egypt
had an African animal as its god,
the hippopotamus. To this day,
some peoples have as gods some
animal with superman power. Lat-
er this was refined into a series of
spirits dwelling beyond human
reach. Still later some of this
worship attached to particu'ar men
and buildings and ceremonies deal-
ing with conditions not understood
by the masses, The totem pole of
the Artic people is a stage in such
ogress. Having thought out all

‘and administration take first. place
in their spread ana domination of
other peopies. Those steps in hu:
man advance were necessary to the
New Dispensation. .
When Jesus came forth with His
“Old Faith in the New Age,” He
brought the culmination of the
imagisative mind into the Jewish
system of Moasic laws with its in-
terpolations, fixed institutions and
contamination due to the domi-
nance of exchange for money; it
was an age strikingly like ours of
to-day. ‘The usurious mind domi-

Ethiopia becomes the means by
which Christian civilization shall

In the fourth century after
Christ, Theodosius, emperor of
Rome, became a follower and_be-
tiever and protector of Christian-
ity. Since that time, great spreads
of the world have become, “One

become interwoven with their
lives.” Thus Italian aggression
becomes not merely a proposed
war upon weaker people, but an
affront to the moral standards of
Christian civilization. It was. this
idol set by Jesus in His teaching:
first, the Lord's prayer,—reverent,
simple, complete, indentifying; sec-

Miss Eleanor T. Hill Bride of Chicago Man
CHEYNEY, Pa.-Dr. and Mrs. Leslie Pinckney Hill, of Cheyney Institute, announce the marriage of their daughter, Eleanor, to Mr. Vishu Vincent Oak, of Chicago, on Saturday, September 21, in New York City. Dr. and Mrs. Hill were "At Home" on last Monday evening from 8 to 10 o'clock to a few of their friends at Melros Cottage on the campus, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Oak. Mr. Oak is dean of men at the Cheyney State Teachers' College and teacher of social studies; B.S., University of Oregon; A.M. University of California; M. S. University of Iowa; and has done further study at the University of Chicago and Clark University.
The bride is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. She taught for a few years at Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., and last year did graduate work at Howard University.
The attractive young bride wore a high necked white satin gown. The sleeves were puffed above the elbow and fastened from elbow to wrist with white satin buttons. The fitted skirt which flared from the knees down, fell in a circular train.
Her tuile veil was fashioned in circular lines to harmonize with her gown. It was trimmed with a wide tuile ruffle and fastened at the head with a tiny halo of orange blossoms. She carried an arm bouquet of flies of the valley and white bridal roses.
The bride, who for the last year has been head of the home economics department at Morris Brown College here, was graduated from the Summer High School in Kansas City, Kas., in 1927 and in 1932 was graduated from Howard University. In 1933 she received her master's degree in home economics from the Kansas State Teachers' College at Pittsburg, Kas. She also has taken graduate work at Columbia University.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Months have passed and school bells have rung in another term. So maybe it's safe to tell the story. A pretty young matron whose darling child was one of last year's graduates, made up her mind long before Graduation Day that not only would she $\sigma$ t an elegant outfit for her little graduate, but she'd also do herself up proud, And she did. She bought a dress of powder blue with white with it. Some of the neighbors hat and shoes and gloves to go saw the dress before the matron wore it and they knew exactly how well she'd look when she proudly arrayed herself in it. So they warned her, that if she dared to wear it and the Commencement Day orator saw her, he'd forget all about the speech he was trying so hard to make. Now, it's a positive fact (no matter how some of 'em try to deny it) that every female likes to feel (wrinkled and crippled though she may be) that she still retains the power to firmly impress some Big, Bold, Wonderful Man. So, not only did the matron don the powder blue dress, but she sat way up in front so the poor Commencement Speaker couldn't fail to see her. No, the expected didn't happen. It would have though if Fate hadn't prompted the school officials to let the graduates do the speaking instead of some big impressionable man.
You can wager your last poor nickel that there was no drag in the conversation when Dr. Eiley Thomas of Howard University and an old school pal (Dr. Roscoe M. Cruzat) met in a pretty home in Beltsville, Md., last Sunday night. But of fist-bangings on tables, broad hail! ha's and loud "By George's" there were undoubtedly a plenty. Dr. Cruzat was on a visit from Alton, Illinois.
An old friend who hadn't seen Mrs. Norma Bachus, smart l. t. schoolma'am of S St. N. W. for ever so many years, ran across that lady the other day and found out that the Bachus brand of smile is just as charming as ever.
With cooler weather coming on
there'll be fewer boat rides down
the river and it's a pity too. For
now a lot of us won't get a chance
to see Mrs. Consuelo Jones Lemas
in her attractive sea-going togs.
Wise "Bud" Speller (Mr. "Turner R. of 714 22th St, N.E.). He faced a judge the other day (Judge Armond Scott). But there was a sweet young lady with him. So
the only sentence the couple got was "I pronounce you man and wife."
There's many a mile (far be it from me to try to count *emtwit* D. C. and Jerusalem m but Monroe School's Miss Woodson covered all of them thir summer. And she got back in time to be right in line when the "Big Broadcast" began and Washington's schoolma's ams and masters flashed a bright "Goo morning" to a hundred thousand pupils.
rings and necklaces. The there was the delightful little co-ed (Jewel James by name) who was on her way to a cozy room in the Howard University dormitory. After its occupants got a pleasant peep at Mrs. Birdie Kebble and Miss Grace Wells of 67 Eye St. N. E. the Oklahoma auto headed homeward.
There also came a car to town from Texas, only there wasn't a co-ed in it. Just a gay young man from Waco (Dr. J. Sterling Jaques) on his way to see a sweet Miss D. C. teacher.
It's a shame about Mississippi. It continues to entice Washington's lovely ladies away. Slim Miss Margaret Thomas, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Thomas, has just taken her little smile and everything and gone to Mississippi to help ring school bells.
Maybe she picked up the trick in New York (she vacationed there this summer); maybe her long residence in that capital taught her the pretty idea; maybe the happy knowledge (how to entertain) was reposing in her brain even before she left the Carolinas. At any rate Mrs. H. W. Campbell (wife of the Presbyterian minister of Fairmount Heights) who lives at 539 Fla. Ave. entertained the Ministers' Wives' Alliance last Friday and did it in such a lovely manner that her guests are all still talking about it. She wore a pale pink dress. (That was wise move number one.) She had previously placed autumn flowers at points where they showed to best advantage. (Wise move number two.) "Twould take too long to list all the clever things she did. One thing though she spared no pains to make everybody comfortable. Then sat or stood by as they went through a busy session (making plans for the installation of officers at the home of Mrs. G. O. Bullock 408 Tea St on October 26th.
Then Mrs. Campbell bade her guests sit down to a heavily laden table. There was chicken salad, steaming snowy white rolls potato to chips and small green peas that sailed proudly about in paper boats. There was chocolate layer cake (better even than mother used to make) and—but by this time Mrs. T. F. Threlkeld the president, all the other officiers (among them Mrs. Mayme Henderson, Mrs. Ellison, Mrs. I. S. Lee, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton) and all the members were stuffed so full of the dainty goodies that they absolutely forgot that adjournment has a place in every party's program. So they sat and chatted happily and if Mrs. Campbell and her sister, Mrs. J. Edgar Smith, who so graciously assisted her, could hear the pretty things the guests are saying about them, they'd—here's hoping at least one-half of the echoes will find their way right straight to the ears of the sisters.
The hours of beauty shop operators must have more than sixty minutes in them. Otherwise how in the world would they ever find time to practice their pretty treatments on themselves. Take Mrs. Willie Mae Johnson for instance. She can pat her black lorks into place hop into a brown print dress, pull on a saucy hat, and step forth radiating so much chic and charm that you really feel she must have taken hours and hours to so bedeck herself. Then you remember how busy she is over at the Vogue, and you come right out and calmly declare that each one of Willie's hours must have a hundred minutes in it!
Just as Mrs. Walter Tate gets back from New York, New Jersey and other points and you think she's all settled for the winter in her pretty Brookland home, off she (and her husband) drive for Lewisburg, West Virginia.
Everybody's congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Addison Chapman, 614 R St. (Wedding anniversary of course). It's been many a year since the preacher tied 'em tight, but (judging by the happy looks on the two bright Chapman faces) Clarissa and her Addisonare still a couple of lovers. But at that nobody out to pin a rose on Clarissa. She certainly couldn't get a medal for staying long years with a handsome man like Chapman. (Maybe if he had been mean and stubborn and ugly she might rate a small brass button). Besides there were probably plenty of women who would gladly have walked to the altar with him—(that is, if Clarissa hadn't quickened her pace and beat 'em to it). Now as to whether Mr. Chapman is due a reward for staying so long with Clarissa, if you ask me, Mrs. Chapman is one of the dearest souls we know and if Mr. C. couldn't life delightful with such as she, he ought to be—My space in the paper is all used up.

AIR FEATURE MINISTERS GOES TO 30 ARE CALLED MINUTES PHARISEES
EIGHT
"Talking 'Em Over" Broadcast Grows; Adds Music; Change Time
Responding to the demand of an enthused following and making an actuality of the reports of its steady growth, the "Talking 'Em Over" air feature of the Washington Tribune was increased to a 30-minute broadcast last night (Wednesday).
Because of an October first shift in general program assignments, the new time for the feature has been set at 7:45 p.m.
The period, conducted by Sam Lacy and dealing with Negro sports news, had previously held a 15-minute spot on the regular Wednesday evening dial.
"Hot" Music Added
Orchestral music, in the nature of recordings by leading colored bands, has been added to the program to give it diversified entertainment. Last night's program featured the new and fast-rising Bob Howard unit.
Telephone calls and personal comments indicated that the increased time had not contributed toward monotony and that the music supplement had added attractiveness. The feature, which is the first of its kind in this section of the country and has a parallel only in San Francisco, Cal., where Byron (Speedy) Reilly, sports editor of the San Francisco Spokesman, conducts a similar period, deals with Negro athletes and athletics.
Response Great
The program has so gained in popularity since its inauguration seven weeks ago, that its continuation on the air has been assured. Fan mail, telephone calls and personal comments have been received in a steady flow since its beginning, August 14.
The "Talking 'em Over" feature is heard each Wednesday night over Station WOL. Lacy is at the microphone in the studios at the Annapolis Hotel, Eleventh and H Streets, Northwest.
His talk is diversified, ranging from the baseball diamond to the horse-racing oval. It touches every phase of the Negro in sports.
Popularity Continues
Increase of the time limit of the program to 30 minutes was deemed advisable when it was learned that there was such a growing interest in the feature.
The new program will include dance music by leading coored orchestras. Recordings by Fats Waller, Noble Sissle, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, etc., will be inserted between sports shorts.
SCHOOL MATRONS EXAMS SLATED
Announcement of an examination to obtain a list of eligibles for matrons (women only) in junior and senior high schools of the District October 18 and 19 was made Friday, by Dr. Howard H Long, chief examiner of Divisions 10-13.

White Clergy Criticized for Not Meeting Negroes on Terms of Equality
BALTIMORE — Preachers were called "scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites" Sunday, because they "preached the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man but did not have enough love for God in their own hearts to invite their Negro brethern to associate with them on terms of equality."
The accusation was made by Franklin Long, 22-year-old president of the Baltimore Youth Council, in an address given as a part of a retreat for clergy men in Howard Park Methodist Episcopal Church. The retreat was under the auspices of the Ministerial Union of Baltimore and the Baltimore Federation of Churches.
The ministers were told by Long to "get busy," and were warned if the church does not give young people a plan of Christian action many will desert the church and go over to communism and fascism.

Will Fight Only Those Who Stand in Way of Alumni or the University
ALUMNI, NOT TRUSTEES
SHOULD OWN HOWARD
Seek to Have Charter Amended So Alumni Can Elect All Trustees
Beginning his term as alumni secretary of Howard University, Eugene Davidson, who was elected by the alumni last June, announced to the Tribune this week that his administration would be neither "pro nor anti" President Mordecai W. Johnson or anyone else connected with the university.
He declared that his stand would be anti anyone who stood in the way of either the alumni association or Howard University, as he was definitely for both of those institutions.
Seeks Alumni Control
Davidson reiterated his stand that was taken in an editorial published in his first issue of the Alumni Journal, stating Howard University belongs to the alumni of the university and not to the board of trustees, and that his long run program would be to have the university charter so amended as to give the university to the alumni. Expounding on the existence of the board of trustees of the university, Davidson told the Tribune that the board was set up 68 years ago when there were no alumni to control the school.
"For 68 years this same board of trustees, perpetuating itself, has controlled Howard until the trustees and the public think that Howard belongs to its trustees. But serious thought must bring the inescapable conclusion that Howard does not belong to its trustees, but by every test to its alumni." Davidson declared.
"There can be but three possible claimants for the control of Howard." Davidson wrote in the Alumni Journal. He called them the public, the trustees and the alumni. Public Eliminated "By the process of elimination on the basis of reason and interest, the alumni must remain as the logical group to control. The public must be eliminated by reason of its comparatively vague interest and the impracticability of the whole public—white, black, or both, controlling an institution.
"The trustees, albeit they now completely costrol the destinies of Howard, must be eliminated in favor of the alumni on the grounds that each is merely the assignee of the rights of an original member of the board 68 years ago when there were no graduates of the school; that no person not a graduate of Howard. no matter how honest and altruistic, can have a deep and traditional interest comparable to a graduate and sufficient to give him a better right to name his successor."
Edna Haynes Endorsed for Grand Daughter Ruler
Forest Temple No.9. of Eks. held its regular meeting last Wednesday. Viola J. Russell, presided. Visitors were Grand Vice Daughter Ruler Edna Haynes and Grand Assistant Daughter Ruler Effie Stewart. Mrs. Haynes was endorsed for the next grand daughter ruler and Mrs. Stewart for grand vice daughter ruler by the temple. Speakers were Gand Chaplain Elizabeth Gordon and Deputy Florence Plummer.

The Federation of Civic Associations in its first fall meeting, Friday at the District Building, endorsed a resolution to have a colored man appointed as superintendent at the U. Street Branch of the United State Postoffice. Edward H. Lawson informed the federation of the efforts of the Postal Alliance in seeking to have this appointment made. A committee was appointed to call on Postmaster General James A. Farley in the interest of the change in the branch which is in an all-Negro neighborhood.
Dr. Walter A. Jackson, chairman, Committee on Public Health and Sanitation, reported that his committee had been in touch with Dr. George C. Ruhland, chief health officer, and had requested a statement from him as to his attitude in the efforts of the committee to have appointed to the health department colored doctors and nurses.
Dr. Ruhland replied that he believed that colored doctors and nurses should comprise a part of the staff. The action of the committee was approved and the committee was urged to continue its efforts.

WASHINGTON. D.C., WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 5. 1935
DESERTION BASIS FOR DIVORCE SUIT
A suit for absolute divorce on the grounds of desertion, filed in the District Supreme Court early this week, named Mrs. Ellaine Smith, 1328 Park Road, Northwest, as defendant. Her husband, James W. Smith, 2529 M Street, Northwest, appeared as the complainant. According to the petition prepared by Attorney A. S. Pinkett on behalf of the husband, Mrs Smith deserted her mate in September of 1933 and has not returned to him since. The petitioner states that from March, 1930 up to the time of his wife's alleged abandonment, he had conducted himself as a dutiful husband.
Freelom from the bonds of matrimony is the only prayer of the husband, the latter taking advantage of the recently changed divorce laws of the District.

16 LYNCHINGS FOR 9 MONTHS
NEW YORK.—Sixteen lynchings, fifteen of them Negroes, came to light during the first nine months of 1935, according to a compilation made public last week by the International Labor Defense. Half of the total number of lynchings occurred in Mississippi.
Four of the lynchings were a direct result of the terror of land-lords against the Share Croppers Union.
Alabama saw three lynchings between January 1 and September 30; California, North Carolina and Florida one each; Louisiana two; and Mississippi eight.
Evidence that the lynchings are discovered and reported to the press are only a fraction of the lynchings that actually occur, is more abundant this year, the ILD announced.

Continuance of the hearing of charges against the Cotton Club, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, was postponed until next Monday by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, when it met Monday, and another charge was placed against the black and tan rendezvous by the board itself.
The first case, containing charges brought by citizens who live in the community of the Cotton Club, was continued until next Monday when Louis Hurwitz, white, owner of the club, did not put in his appearance.
Decision Ready
The board was ready to give a decision in the case, but did not when Frederick W. Wilkinson, chairman of the citizens' steering committee, expressed his unwillingness to permit a decision in the absence of Hurwitz. Wilkinson told the board that he did not want Hurwitz to feel that he had taken advantage of him in his absence. The charge placed against the Cotton Club by the board, itself, states that liquor is being sold in the club after hours, contrary to the rules for sale of liquor as set down by the United States Congress.
The complaint was filed by Jerome Johnston, white, a member of the board, who visited several night club last Saturday night, and reported that when he visited the Cotton Club that he found "seventy-five per cent" of the patrons drinking liquor after hours, and found quite a few of them "under the influence of liquor."

Furthermore, the Chief Executive sought advice from the ministers and asked for their candid opinion on the recovery program. Most of the local ministers answered the President's letter with a vengeance. Others are in the process of framing these missives, but all carry practically the same answer.

The President sent a form letter to ministers all over the country. Among the things he said, "I shall deem it a favor if you will write me about conditions in your community as you see them. Tell me where you feel our government can better serve our people. "May I have your counsel and your help?"
