C. A., last Saturday night, Aubrey Williams, assistant FERA administrator, declared that the greatest problem confronting the FERA administration is to get officials in the Southern States to cease "selling the Negro down the river" "We have got to continue our fight against these things which set one man off and treat one man one way and another man in a different way. Some way has to be made effective whereby we can get a personnel that will not sell the Negro down the river. We have got to arrange an order in which people in the middle and at the bottom will carry out those things they are told to do." the assistant administrator said. Against Problem Declaring that there are too many ways that the various state administrators of relief have of getting around carrying out orders from headquarters. Williams raid that it is absolutely necessary that "we have people in Atlanta that feel as we do and see the things as we do," in order to accomplish anything. Until that is done, he said, "we are simply talking through our hat." "The only effective answer to the people is that the FERA administration sees to it that it actually achieves the getting of jobs and relief on equal terms." In defense of himself and Harry J. Honkins, FERA Administrator, Williams said that efforts had been made to deal fairly with all groups; to carry out the wishes of the President that no man starves. Instead of attacking the FERA Administration, Williams said, credit should be given (See FERE, Page 3) Major Gridiron Expert Tribu Personal coverage of the four major games in this section Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) is being offered Tribune Friday readers.

Although possibilities are slim that a colored person will be appointed postmaster, at the U Street Station, Postmaster William Mooney told a committee of the Federation of Civic Associations recently that he will give consideration to appointing colored persons to administrative jobs in the department, according to a report to the federation, Friday in the Board Room of the District Building. E. H. Lawson, secretary of a special committee to contact Postmaster Mooney in an effort to get better jobs for colored workers in the city post offices, read a report on the activities of the committee. The committee conferred with Postmaster Mooney and Superintendent of Mails Haycock. A special effort was made to get a colored man promoted to superintendent of the U Street Station. Although the postmaster stated the position had been filled by a white employee, the postmaster is giving consideration to the contention of the federation and other citizens that additional administrative jobs should be given to colored workers. Under the chairmanship of Bernard C. Chapman, the Halloween parade committee made a report which was endorsed by the federation. It was voted to make the parade an annual affair. To Aid Needy Children Mrs. Dorothy I. Miller, a representative of the social activities committee of the Federation of Parent-Teachers Association, was introduced by the president and spoke concerning the needs of supplying clothes for needy children.

Gaskins, counsel for Weaver. Taylor said the hearing had been postponed several times at Weaver's request. Weaver denied this. The entire Howard University campus and all Washington is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the eternal conflict between free speech and loyalty to one's institution, which is scheduled to be heard Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., when the faculty of the law school sits as a trial body to decide whether Frederick S Weaver, a law student and well known newswriter, should not be disciplined for his criticisms of faculty members in his column, in the Washington Tribune, the Associated Negro Press reports. Gaskins in Case Weaver received the order to appear and show cause why he should not be disciplined, and has appointed Benjamin L. Gaskins, prominent attorney and member of the District School Board, to represent him. (See WEAVER, Page 3) THREE LIVES CLAIMED IN ACCIDENTS Richard Good Among 3 Killed in Week-end Accidents. D. C.

Monstrocity at Freedmen's Hospital Also Baffles Physicians A monstrocity with both sexes fully developed, was born to a 14-year-old Winchester, Va. girl this week, it was learned by The Tribune. According to Dr. William A. Wells, noted Washington surgeon, the condition is a vicious conformation of several organs comprising elements of both sexes. Dr. Wells had been called to visit the freak this week-end. He will leave in a day or so he said. According to the physician, the birth of the monstrocity is a rare freak of nature. Medical men call such happening hermaphrodism. There is hardly a birth of this kind in 20 years. However, it has been learned that a case similar to the one in Winchester is at Freedmen's Hospital. The freak was born this week and like the Virginia case. There are such cases on record, the mother is also 14 years of o- nited medical men say, but they are extremely rare and when they do occur physicians are unable to account for the phenomena. In the Virginia case the mother is unmarried. Dr. Wells also explained more common freaks known as "sissies." He said in most cases these un- usual types in most instances ac- quire certain habits from association. _____ Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man be- hind the book.

Curtis, professor of Surgery at Howard University, died at her late residence, 1736 U Street, Northwest, early Monday morning. During her life time she was associated with many movements of a civil, political and social welfare character. After her marriage to Dr. Curtis, in Philadelphia, in 1888, they moved to Chicago where he took up the practice of medicine. Upon his appointment as surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital in 1898, the family removed to Washington where it has resided ever since. Hostess During War During the World's Columbia Exposition in 1893, she was appointed by Major Moses P. Handy, director of publicity, as official hostess to colored visitors. During the Jamestown Exposition held at Yorktown, Va., she was fiscal agent of the Negro exhibit toward which a liberal appropriation had been made by the Federal Government. When San Francisco was shocked with earthquake, Mrs. Cuzitz carried a commission from Secretary of War William H. Taft, and served under General Fred Funston and the Red Cross Organization in ameliorating disturbed conditions. Headed Nurses Upon the outbreak of the Spanish American War she was associated with the organization which assembled immune nurses for yellow fever, with headquarters at Tampa, Florida, and made several visits to Havana and other Cuban (See, MRS. CURTIS, Page 2). Announcement has been made of the appointment of Joseph R. Houchins of Ithaca, New York, as assistant business specialist in the Division of Negro Affairs of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. His duties will be to gather factual data helpful to Negro economic life—principally in the field of commerce and business. He will act as assistant to Eugene Kinckle Jones, advisor on Negro affairs of the Department of Commerce. Mr. Houchins' schedule of work calls for studies in such subjects as Causes of Business Failures, Loan Shark Practices Among Negroes, Consumer Habits (installment buying), Credit Facilities Available to Negro Business Men, and Trade and Business Associations Among Negroes—How They May Be Improved. Mr Houching has been for five years head of the Department of Economics and Government at Wiley College Marshall, Texas. He has four degrees from Cornell University—Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts in Economics, Bachelor of Laws, and Doctor of the Science of Law. He has convicted his residence requirements for his Ph.D. degree. Throughout his studies he has specialized in economics and labor legislation. He began his duties in the Commerce Department on November 15. 1 President of Tuskegee, who will be the principal speaker at the Silver Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity meeting in Nashville, Tenn., December 28-31 Drive Started by New Negro Alliance for Equal Rights Bill YMCA Secretary and Dr.Ruhland Endorse Tribune Health Drive Health Officer of District and Major Campbell Johnson Praises "Health Conscious" Program Sponsored by Newspaper Bill Would Assure to All Citizens in the District Equal Privileges TRIBUNE PLEDGES ITS SUPPORT Measure Was Introduced In the House by Mr. Koppleman Last Session Approximately 200 persons, both white and colored, attended a mass meeting sponsored by the New Negro Alliance at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, last Friday night, in the interest of the equal-rights bill, introduced into Congress by Representative Koppleman.

The Tribune Health Pledge which was published in last Friday's paper brought immediate response. Many already have signed the pledge which contains twelve simple rules of health. The Tribune is cooperating with District Health authorities in carrying the message of good health to the citizens of Washington. The death rate here from tuberculosis is second highest among the large cities of the country. To curb the spread of disease The Tribune is publishing each week a pledge which citizens, adults and children are urged to sign and return to The Tribune office. Tuberculosis is curable. The treatment must (at all stages) he fitted to the needs of the patient and for that a good doctor is necessary. Yet he alone cannot bring about a cure. He needs the help of the patient at every step. In order to help him wisely, the patient and his family must know certain things about the disease.

Steps Outlined The steps necessary for the enactment of the measures were outlined to the audience by Roy Ellis, of the Labor Relations Committee, who drafted the measure on behalf of the Alliance, and secured the offices of Representative Koppleman in introducing the measure in the House of Representatives. L. M. Hershaw, aged educator, who told the audience that the biggest task to be accomplished to get the measure through is to educate the Negroes of the District to the point where they will resent discrimination in a sufficient measure to get behind the bill and fight for it. The Negro is the only race that submits to the kind of discrimination going on in the world today, Mr. Hershaw said. All other races have resented discrimination in any measure, and for the most part have won Belford V. Lawson, Jr., legal (See EQUAL RIGHTS, Page 2) and Dr. Ruhland the Health Drive and Major Campbell Johnson conscious" Program y Newspaper Tuberculosis seldom strikes a sharp blow in the beginning; it usually creeps up like a thief from behind. We must therefore be on the lookout for this enemy by watching for the shadows he casts before him. There are four common signs that give us warning. They are tiredness, loss of weight, indigestion, and cough that hangs on. Each week The Tribune will publish the danger signs and in the meantime all must observe the health rules listed. Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. said, "I consider this activity (The Tribune campaign) on the part of the Washington Tribune to be an extremely important contribution to our community welfare. Making our people health conscious ranks easily among the most important services that could be rendered here. Dr. George C. Ruhland, Health Officer, said, "I want to do anything that will help promote the health of the community in general, and particularly, in the unfortunate situation which exists with regard to tuberculosis."

"Dear Sam: "I listened to your broadcast last night and heard an excellent account of the program sponsored by the Lincoln Athletic Club, Monday night. Perhaps your praise of the program, under the circumstances, is what it should be; but, between you and me, don't you think that the L.A.C. should come in for a well-earned spanking? "On the morning preceding the fight, I read an account in the Washington Herald conference was made to Joe Turcering the program. A refiner's policy of seating (tacit segregation). It also referred to the intention of the L.A.C. to copy such policy and reserve a certain section for 'ofaus'. "I have been a regular patron of the L.A.C.'s programs; but when I read this, I thought I had better verify it before becoming a party to such a policy. Accordingly, I called John Carter and told him that I was interested in securing seats for white patrons who did not wish to sit with colored. Mr. Carter informed me that he had a section. 'W,' reserved for Commissioners and WHITE PATRONS. "After hearing this, I called a score of friends and advised them of the policy. We did not attend the show, but decided it would be better to save the money and buy a Christmas present for the unknown soldier. "This represents, about twenty grand, that did not go to the L.A.C. It probably was not missed, but it certainly can grow to enormous proportions on the negative side if the L.A.C. adheres to such a policy; for I have never seen an organization continue to prosper that segregates its own people. "I have enjoyed the L.A.C.'s programs in the past, and was of the opinion that it had a wonderful opportunity to place sports on a high plane here in the District, but it looks like breakers ahead. By the way, there is also some fuss about raw decisions to visitors, but I guess I've made enough enemies for one day. So, g'by! (Signed) : "J. A. KEENE.

The fall racing season in Maryland comes to a close with the finish of the seventh race at Bowie, November 30. And your writer ventures to say it will have been one of the most successful post-summer sessions in many years. Laurel and Pimlico have already reported better seasons than have been theirs in the past half decade. Bowie is expected to follow suit with a similar report. A record $2,026.40 "daily double" at Bowie had a most encouraging effect on officials who were contemplating the discontinuance of the two-race system of betting. The pay-off, which occurred on Friday, was the most persuasive sought of an argument for persons who hied to the track on Saturday. The pool, though made up of contributions form a comparatively small crowd of 9,000, was proportionally the largest of the fall meeting at the Prince George oval. Two stake events are down for settlement on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day). The popular Thanksgiving Day Handicap for three-year-olds and upward will be put on as the feature attraction. A secondary feature will find the horses galloping a mile-and-a-half for the $2,000 added money of the Marlboro Claiming Stakes. It looks likes ONLY ONE is the only thing to play in the Thanksgiving, provided of course, he starts. And it also appears that NAVAL CADET will do the marching in the Mariboro.

Northwest vs. Southeast The local Turkey Day cash will mean a tilt between the Northwest and Southeast sections of the nation's capital. This may not mean anything to some, but to close followers of independent sports in Washington, it means a traditional rivalry and a whale of a game. Ancestia, though low in the standing in the District Sandlot and Semi-pro Gridiron League, seems to have a knack of coming to life whenever she opposes a competitor from the Northwest section. Their dislike for the chevy 'Jackets will serve to spur them to greater achievement. The Stinners, on the other hand, have had their share of the stinging this season, having barely eked out victories over fees considered materially weaker, been tied by others, and been defended by still others. It is no secret they are out for revenge.

Both were held under bonds of $10,000. The trainer of Joe Louis also faces a $10,000 suit, filed by J. C Cannon, father of nine year-old Lucy Cannon, who was seriously wounded as an innocent by-stander, during the time of the alleged battle. According to reports the suit was filed Tuesday, by attorneys representing the Cannon family. Elizabeth and Parnell were first charged with the assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and at the hearing Tuesday morning the charge was changed to manslaughter and the date of the trail was set at December 5.

Joel Sharkey, white, scored a double knockout of Eddie (Unkown) Winston here last Friday night. The fight was both amusing and provoking. The crowd of more than 12,000 became amused at the speed and ease with which Sharke "disposed" of his Negro opponent in the first round. But they also became enraged at the provoking manner in which Winston t what had all the semblance of a "dive." "Powder-puff" Punch Winston went down in the very first minute of the opening round under a series of "powder-puff" lefts and rights. Just prior to this barrage, he had swarmed all over the former sailor. It was a right to the stomach — used moving picture fashion — that induced Winston to drop his guard. This done — much after the manner of the villain taking a trounning from the silver-screen hero. Sharkay had little trouble boxing Winston's jaws.

Instead he cut swiftly through a wide hole over his own right tackle, broke into the clear, reversed his field, and race 70 yards to score, eluding a hadozen South Carolina tacklers on his way. Surprise Play This was the surprise play of the season, surprising not only the South Carolina team, but the entire Virginia State supporting section as well. For it is the consensus of opinion here the Payne can kick well but that all. Payne, however, showed them different, winning a football game on a single exhibition of brilliant broken field running; it was something that he had never done before, something wholly worthy. For after he advance beyond the line of scrimmage, he was entirely alone. Trojan blockers having been cut down in the process of getting him through the line. And Payne took care of himself admirably, out running a would-be tacklers to reach the pay off zone. A pass, Briscoe to Jeter was good for the conversion point. S.C.

The deluy in selecting the cast had partly hinged upon the hope of the producers tha: Dr. R. R. Moton could be secured to play the yart of “De Lawd,” Mare Connel- ley, author of the play, whose de- termination that the sorzen version must be of the same high character as was the stage presentation, had led him to take a personal hand in the selection of the cast, visit- ed Dr. Moton at his home in “Cap- pahosic on the York” recently in order to urge him to undertake the role made famous by Richard B. Harrison, one of Dr Moton’s life long friends. Dr. Moton, however, despite the remarkable offer which was made, felt that he did not care to assume the lead role in the “divine come- dy.” It is understood that he felt that as dignified and noble and compe'ling as the role had develop- ed under Richard Harrison's ex- ceptional characterization, it still was a comedy. Health considera- tions also entered into his decision as his physicians have urged him to only limited activity for a time. It can be puthowltative'y stated.

JULES BLEDSOR, internationally famous opera sing- er, who was lauded by the Southern white press for his rendition of “Ole Man River” in a recent con- cert at Hampton Institute. SOUTHERN DAILY PAYS TRIBUTE TO JULES BLEDSOE nae url HAMPTON, Virginia—The Daily Press, white newspaper of New- port News, paid Jules Bledsoe, in- ternationally famoug singer, a’ fine tribute following his recent con- cert at Hampton Institute, Among other things, the Daily Press, said: “Jules Bledsoe has sung ‘Ol! Man Rover’ 18,000 times. That is, up to 1982, He stopped counting then, : “Last night the famous Negro baritone and dramatic actor sang it again, and to the crowd that filled most of Ogden Hall at Hamp. ton Institute, it was a thrilling moment not, easily forgotten. For those final few minutes he dominat- ed his audience, just as completely as he did at the Zigfeld Theatre in New York, when as ‘Joe’ of ‘Show Boat’ his rich vibrant, voice rushed gcross the — footlights, bresthing#life and power in Jerome Kern's mighty song of the Missis- sippi River.” . Spiritual Repeated | Reviewing a part of Bledsoe’s ‘career and some of the numbers of his program, the critic snidy | “His ingratiating personality and warm spontaneity did not appear to their fullest m@avantage until ‘Shortnin’ Bread,“ which he had to repeat, and the spiritual ‘Lil’ David Play on Your Harn.’ There was a number in the final group, a spiritual, ‘If You Please,’ which Bledsoe composed and which deserves to take its place with the other great spirituals of his race. Tt was a compliment to the artist and the composer that he was com- pelled to repeat the number,” Near the end of its lengthy re- view of the concert, the Press said: “So much for the facts, Some- how they seem pallid and rather unimportant in trying to capture the effect Bledsoe produced last night with “Ol Man River.” His voice filled the hall, shook the rafters and left his audience al- most limp from the sheer excite- ment of it.

On the opening night at the Vanderbilt Theatre in 48th Street, a month ago, the smart metropolitan reviewers paid tribute to the fine literary merit of the play, but said that due to the unpleasant taste of the theme, which rips into the double-stand- ard sex life of the aristocratic white South, the production would not last, One reviewer, Robert Garland of the World-Telegram, who hails from Baltimore, went so far as to say the less said about the play the better But the Hughes’ drama. sticks, For four weeks it has drawn heav- ily upon Broadway theatre attend. ance, Its placards have been placed strategically, throughout the White Way district, so that all who run may read, Now the critics are ask- ing, somewhat as they did about the’ “Green Pastures,” what is old up the play? ‘This writer witnessed the play with a friend from Kentucky, and his analysis of the pulling power of “Mulatto” is interesting. He says, in the first place, the Hughes’ drama, although revolting “to the sensibilities, ix the truth, and noth- ing but the truth. The fact that it is true, and is presented by & master writer who knows how to make his idens vivid. is one big point in its favor. The story of the wealthy white planter who has children by his colored housekeep- er, and in a halting, apologetic way, educates them but refuses to ac- cord them the respect their edu- cation makes them feel is their due, is one of heartbreak and cruel- ty, superimposed on finer senti- ments which are never really ex- pressed—merely implied.

Negroes who pass for white need this kind of spirit. ual sustenance to help them rae tionalize their posnion.

He also proposed that this committee would ask the gov- ernment to give the Cooperatives all machinery, tools and trucks now in the possession of the groups and this committee be held respon- sible for. the organization and operation of the units. Some fifteen units of the Co- operatives were represented at the meeting. They have been making ‘clothing, mattresses and other wearing apparel from discarded ermy clothing. Under government ipervision the Cooperatives were permitted to trade, or barter itside of the various units. They ere also not allowed to sell, Really to Become Self Help Under the new plan they would be civen permission to sell, buy trade or barter within and without the organization. As the govern- ment will not donate army cloth. §ng or other materials the Coopera- tives will have to find some way to provide goods for themselves, Several of the heads of the tnits exhibited dresses, suits for small children, hats, coats, women’s suits and even shoes made from army bags, blankets and discarded uni- forms of soldiers. Thousands of sheets and pillow cases also have been made from materials given by the government, Some units have made mattresses. All of thi: clothing has been traded within the member groups. No money was involved in the transaction Scraps from the goods were used to make quilts. A number of these articles were on display re- cently at a downtown department store. * ‘Urged to Carry On Halbert who was the first relie! director of the District under th Hoover administration, urged th inembers to carry on and said tha “the best way to get recognitior ‘in to deserve it.” He stated that to complain or fight would not bring about the needed recognit'-~ With an independent status the Cooperatives will be able to sell buy and trade. the speaker said.

He looked extereme- ly fatigued from the trying events af the past few weeks as he sat in the reception room of the new palace, Organizes Provinces “Since the coronation in 1930,” the Emperor said, “we have en- deavoured to organize the differ- ent provinces of the Empire from the administrative, military and judicial points- of view, developing also the education and the sanitary and hospital services, to raise the social and intellectual level of the people, “Such reforms necessitate, nat- urally, considerable expense, We could have borne it if the’ occur- rence and intensification of the Italian menace had not compelled us to devote ull our financial re- sources to the defense of the na- tion. “The oii concession which we granted to F. W. Rickett, as was our absolute right, for the forma- tion of an American company for prospecting and exploiting the oil deposits of Abyssinia, is an integ- ral part of our economic program, It will tend to raise the social level of our people and procure for them opportunities of honourable and re- munerative work, “The political aims which have been insidiously. attributed to us on the occasion of granting this pure- ly economic concession have neve: entered our minds, “War has been forced upon us,” continued the Emperor. — “Conse- quently we are compelled to defend ourselves. We have evacvated the zones of our country near the frontier, and the Italian troops up to the present have met only a few detachments, but our soldiers resisted with all the courage we expected of them, “Only the civil population has suffered-from the Italian army's raids on land and in the air “It is a curious way to bring civilization to a peop’e. All human- ity will unfailingly protest with us against thece methods. Hits Arms Embargo “The mobilization which we ord- ered within a few hours of the opening of hostilities has been car- ried out in the normal conditions we foresaw when we organized it. The troops are going to the places assigned to them. “It was regrettable that during the earlier diplomatic negotiations —despite the loyalty of our atti- tude, which has always been es- sentia‘ly pacifie—the nations pro- nounced an embargo on the export of the arms which were indespen- sable for our defense, although the Italian menace was publicly and officially proclaimed, “Such a. measure favored the commission of the crime which was being prepared by Italy, and is now being carried out against our country and our people. Justice has been finally put tardily done us by the raising of the embargo, but the delay in rendering this jus- tice has pleced us in a situation of military inferiority in the struggle which We are obliged to mainta’n- against » better-armed aggressor.” Peace Conditions ‘The emperor spoke of the peace terms, with the minimum. condi- tions Italy would accept, that have been announced in Rome. “We have not been anproaches officially or unofficially,” he said “Certainly rumours, however, have come to us through the press, but the conditions envisaged as’ the basis of this peace constitute a new and serious violation of the league covenant “We do not intend to consider s peace which is contrary to the fun- damental principles of the league covenant.

Joint C ittee Will Deal Rouzhl ith All R It A i Joint Service to be Feature at Churches on Thanksgiving Day Declaring that the pressure of the Joint Committee on National Recovery is to become rougher and rougher on New Deal agencies, John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on Na- tional Recovery, delivered the key- note address at the Y.M.C.A, last Saturday night, commemorating the second anniversary of his or- ganization. Before approxmately 300 smypa- thizers, seated at the banquet table, and in the presence of Aubrey Williams, Assistant Ad. ministrator of the FERA, Davis, a militant opponent of the New Deal, launched into a scathing at- tack’ on the various a‘phabetical ‘organizations set up under the Roosevelt. administration, includ- igg the FERA. New Deal Run-a-round With emphasis, the executive secretary declaved that one of the major projects of the Joint Com- mittee for the ensuing year will Hbe to see to it, “with even more vigor and determination, that conscioug pilotism ends.” “Too frequently we are told tha: the matters of discrimination are matters for state decision, and there is nothing that the govern. ment in Washington can do. “We are faced with the fact that 5,000 Negroes, a day, are becom- ing destitute and helpless, and we are going to demand that this [shifting of responsiblity, red tam and faulty _ administration shal have its day of reckoning," Davis declared Y Davis*pledged the support of his organization to a campaign to or- ganize Negro labor into trade Most of the churches and social agencies of the city are makng special preparation. for Thanks- giving Day, The Good Samaritans, 638 D Street, Northwest, has arranged to feed 500 needy mothers and chil- dren—eolored and — white on Thanksgiving Day, beginning at 12:30 p.m, Ther are asking all mothers and chitiven to apply per- sonally Tue*“lay evening and Wed nesday for dinner tickets, No let- ters will be answered.

Hits Color Bar “One of the major thesises,” he declared “will be to smash’ the color bar in American trade move- ments.” Declaring that the Joint Com- mittee was going to “stick its noses into a little more of the New Dea’’s affairs,” Davis at- tacked the projects of subsistence, of the New Deal, termed them “ghettoes, and told his hanqueters that he had not been convinced that the homesteads were economi- cally sound. The New Deal must get rid of its ghetto psychology, he declared. In reviewing the activities of the Joint Committee since its organi- zation, Davis lauded Dr, Robert C, Weaver, former technical ad- visor of the Joint Committee, now with the Interior Department, for the cooperation he has given the organization. Seeks Justice As a lobby, the Joint Committes has determined to focus attention of government and other officials to the injustices meted out to Ne- gro groups, Davis said. Mack time was devoted to the securing for Negro workers, the rights an¢ privileges they were denied, th group was told.

Mc. Laurin, chairman of a special committee to make an investigation of the plant of the Industrial Home School for Children, reported that his committee had made an extensive comparative survey of the school, with those schools for white children and had found an inadequacy of buildings and equipment at the Industrial Home School for Colored Children The committee recommended that appropriate steps be taken by the federation leading to the procurement of the following improvements: auditorium and gymnasium; paint shop; sheet metal shop; printing department; electric shop; laundry and store-room; enlarged carpenter shop; enlarged shoe shop; enlarged tailoring department and building equipments. After a discussion of the report it was adopted. In a report from O. W. McDonald, secretary, Public Works Committee, it was revealed that the committee had sudied the proposal under consideration by the State of Virginia, District of Columbia and State of Maryland to build a traffic highway from a proposed bridge across the Potomac River at Alexandria, Va., connecting with Southern Avenue, Southeast, Fortinneth Street, Northeast, to Defense Highway and the Baltimore Boulevard, and since his proposal is a matter that vitally concerns the right of property owners on and adjacent to this proposed highway, the same should be studied by property owners before taking definite action It was advised that the federation seek to have an observer at meetings of the National Park and Planning Commission in order to be directly informed of the proposed actions of the Commission. Approval was also given to efforts of five citizens associations to have the Chessapeake Beach Railway, running from Sixty-first Street, Northeast, to Sheriff Road and Minnesota Avenue, Northeast abandoned. It was reported that there were seventeen grade crossings along this stretch of road and it retarded improvements to many of the streets in that section.

For particulars, write— CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT 920 U St., N.W. Phone Pot. 1667 (Continued from Page 1) The charges against Weaver, according to the Associated Negro Press, is his denunciation of Charles H. Houston, former vice dean of the law school, now with the NAACP, and of Bernard S. Jefferson, instructor in the law school. Both were accused in a September column of being part of the scheme to "Harvardize" the Howard Law School. Houston not in Sympathy Houston, who has won nationwide renown for his activity in the Crawford case of Leesburg, Va., was scored for his "communistic activities," without being in sympathy with the views and activities of the communists themselves His defense of Bernard S. Ades, white, a "left-wing" attorney, who was threatened with disbarment in Baltimore, Md.; his appearance on the same program with Ruby Bates, formerly one of the Scottsboro accusers, and introducing her, was all publicity stunts of Houston, Weaver charged. Weaver also found fault with his dean for "utter neglect" of his duties at the school for taking time out to conduct investigations for the N.A.A.C.P. and appear as counsel in court cases for the NAACP, without leaving a substitute to conduct his classes at the school. Weaver charged that Houston was away from the school two consecutive weeks last year, during which period there was no one left at the school to conduct the dean's classes. Like Huey Long In one charge, the young columnist compared Dean Houston to Huey P. Long as a publicity seeker, the Associated Negro Press reported Takes Football Jaunt Jefferson is anathema to Weaver, a perusal of his column shows. His greatest objection to the young instructor seems to be that (1) he is a graduate of Harvard; (2) he was brought to Howard by Dean Houston, also a Harvard man; (3) he holds that no students can get an A in his class; (4) he began his teaching career without any experience in regular practice and did not pass the bar until after he had been teaching nearly a year; (5) he holds that one-third of his class must fail In his latest column, Weaver has taken the law school to task for having excused students from West Virginia to go on a good-will trip three weeks ago to the West Virginia-Bluefield Homecoming football game. The trip was approved by the dean in the interest of the law school, but as Jefferson was the instructor accompanying the men, he was the bull's-eye of the column's shafts. Taylor New Dean When confronted with the fact that both Jefferson and Houston were Phi Beta Kappa men, Weaver retorted: "So are four of the students at the law school Phi Beta Kappa men. If that's your argument, then it is admitted that the instructors are no smarter than their students." Acting as dean this year is William E. Taylor, honor graduate from the college and law school of the University of Iowa, and the first Negro elected to the Order of the Coif, anywhere. Coif is the highest honor available to a student of law in America. Persons in the know claim that although Weaver is critical of individuals in the law school, he is friendly to the university administration, in general, the Associated Negro Press reported. (Continued from Page 1) of Columbia so far as Federal employment is concerned and a request that the federation petition the Committee on Apropriations in both the House and Senate seeking to save to the residence the same percentage of the amount spent for salaries and pay of personnel of the District as the percentage of the total cost of government of the District borne by local residents and property bears to the total cost, was submitted by Howard D. Woodson and endorsed by the federation. The resolution also urged the creation of a local Civir Service board of whom one-third shall be colored and a specific provision inserted in the law for use of the fingerprint instead of the photograph for identification.

Attack Front The belief that the Negro can live on less food, less warmth, less clothes, and less comforts, was ridiculed by Williams, who declared that such a notion was foolish. The Negro needs the wisest kind of leadership, the speaker said, if it is to reach the heights set as its goal. The goal can not be reached by attacking those who have tried to be fair, he said, but the attack must be made from the front.

(ANP) — The national policy of closing the transient bureaues throughout the country went into effect in Louisiana last week, ending the jobs of a large number of Negro white-collar workers. The positions of all Negro white-collar workers in the Alexandra camp, terminated prior to November 1, and last week Mrs. Dorothy B.

Georgia Whites See "Harlem Broadcast" MACON, Ga. (ANP) — White citizens were afforded an opportunity to see Irwin C.

T. a show has been playing at the Douglass Theatre, where there is no "reserved section for whites," for the past week, and has been the proverbial "talk of the town." The owner of the theatre was approached by a group of whites with a request that a special show be put on for white citizens, in that no accommodations were available for them in the theatre because it is a good old southern custom that Negroes and whites cannot sit together in the theatre or church unless the Negro We know the conditions with which you are faced, and we both are willing, anxious and glad to do what we can to help iron out those differences, and we ask your support to the end," the assistant administrator said. happens to be the custodian nurse of a white child.

That even the Congressional Directory fails to include the Virginia end of the District of Columbia in its ftory of the founding of the Canital, shows how completely those in power read into existence, what they desire and will, regardless of the facts, The American histories our children are compelled to study in their schools, fol- low the same example. © Except for the brief dicussion of slavery and a reference to “Black codes. enacted be- cause of crimes the newly freedmen might commit,” nothing is said about the presence of men and women of African descent who played a part here from days before the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock, down to and including the World War. : In the original District of Columbia, about. 90 per cent of the land was taken from Maryland and the rest from the Virginia side of the Potomac. That section was the dwelling place of most of the “free people of color.” . It was when the slavocracy gained the ascen- dency, and following the Nat Turner insurrection, that that part lying in Virginia was returned, by act of Con- gress to the State from which it had been carved. Immediately, drastic laws were ap- plied to. Negroes and those who: were free were made to suffer because they were: held to be a constant menace to slavery. The question of the right of Congress to abolish slavery in the Dist- rist of Columbia, as’ national territory, was being debated as against the claims of State's Right. The slavocracy moved to secure itself. “Uufortinately, the District of Columbia, aside from busi- ness men, has sma!l native population and no “commonwealth,” aside: from Government service, hence no one jeal- ously guards its interest. It is very clear that the law of “Emient domain” which permits Government to take pro- perty now, for civic and national development, could apply to the original section, given back to Virginia, in the heat of the pro-and anti-slavery agitation. Congress could take it back. ; p Over the United States, cities expand and take-in surrounding territory, but Washington is forced, largely, by real estate interests, that thrive upon re- stricted areas, to operate within nar- rower Imits than originally outlined.

England's course makes those of us who know her past history quite skeptical. Al- Ways ‘that little nation has adopted a Philosophy of self-preservation. In the World War, England did not take an active part until German force showed that it did not intend to spend itself on the Continent. We do not overlook the fact that race prejudice first came into play with England. Shakespeare's “Othello” was the means of inculeating race dif- ferences to the minds of the English Masses. The name “Blackstone” in English, like the name “Schwartz” in German, indicated originally that the family had a black ancestor. The Old World had been long accus- tomed to seeing black men in positions of honor, power and wealth. Civiliza- tion, starting in the East and South where nature made economic condi- tions easy and allowed the spirit. of man to show iiself in art, literature, science, government, law and conquest, Tose to so high a plane that peoples with sunburned skins held the palm for centuries, England arcse from bar- barism only when its blood became mixed through the conquest by the Nor- man French «1 the eleventh’ century. From then on it appropriated every kind of culture. and its natural cruel- tes. lynchings, burnings and raiding, taken with its keenness in taking ad- vantage of every kind of religion, soon made it master of other peoples. It conquered Spain. a darker people; out- witted France and took India; then gave its attention to smaller and uor- ganized nations anywhere and every- where. It must be clear that England has not a ted as one might think it should have ‘in this Ethiopian situation; and -it begins to appear, since the uprising among Egyptian students, thot there are among her subjects some who know her better than we do at this distanice. _ Ht has been a question as to how long dominant ‘people may hold millions -in yjection by means of a handful of paid } and England is allowing Ital aes how ;successful is jolerit ‘s¢ience in conquering fanatical atives fighting with outmoded weav- ous; how leyal natives may prove against other natives in actual war; how white men may continue to ride “top horse.” , Do not forget that England armed Indians to fight other indians and even Americans to prevent expansion into the West. Do aot forget that England subsidizes religion and the English language study even in America. Do not forget that England threw out the Catholic Church when it suited her to break with darker people heading that institution in the East. Do not forget that it is descendents of those same English people who indulge in lynch- ing, mob violence and race discrimina- tion in America today, despite the fact that the foreign-born Americans are gradually taking away the wealth, power and prestige they have enjoyed for some many centuries. * It may be that Selassie knew his role when he declared that Ethiopians are not Negroes. And it may be that the outcome will be but the greater svh- jection of those very darker peo,..2s who’ are selling their lives in love of country and blind devotion to ideals which are neither understood nor re- garded as worth while by conquerors. The German-English emperor, Wil- helm,. lives in spite of the millions of dead and the destruction of wealth in the World War, which he started. Both Selassie and the English king are safe, while natives and exploited Italians die. “Divide and conquer” is a master stroke against imaginative people, and England is not to be expected to aban- don'a policy that has brought her throurh centuries of conquest, glory, wealth and prestige. ‘This is an age of fact-finding. not pre-suppositions; ‘hence it would be well to wait unon ovtcomes rather than pledge loyalties where they are not wanted. |, Shadow Boxing Heralded thyough the press of our ‘group, a correspondent uses words of ex-Judge James (Jim) Cobb: to say that “slums breed crime,” and that private capital could not be ex- pected to build low-rental properties, but the government intends to. Just why all this space should be employed and be backed up with ‘a list of long-named societies among. our uplifters. is not hard to understand. it is a safe issue upon which to keep in the public eye. It has all the appear- ance of race leadership, but is going nowhere, It asks for help without seeming to do so. It seems to induce someone to stand for the correction of conditions that are due to causes one dare not attack. It is shadow boxing. The. facts are, we brought to ‘the attention of former President Hoover the necessity for millions of homes as the means of reviving industrial Amer- ica by governmental action in that field, No doubt he saw it himself, be- ing an engineey, but it did not agree with the policies of those who were behind him, who wanted quicker’ re- turns’ unon other people’s money ; that “private capital” spoken of by ex- Judge Cobb. They believe in specu- lation. which is: only a polite kind of gambling with deposits rather than with pennies; which would be a crime of the slums. Slums do not breed crime, st land- lords breed slums, and low incomes breed poverty which forces people into living quarters not kept in decent con- dition by the owners. It is social con- ditions with class distinctions that both breed slums and write the laws that make so many of the dwellers in those slums breakers of the law. Strange that ex-Judge Cobb should wake up to the relation between slums and crime some hundred years after England had discovered it and other European nations had rebuilt their cities for decent living. John Ruskir exposed it and made slum clearance aristocratic. ” What ex-Judge Cobb might have done was to have traveled into some of the backyards where our people live throughout these American cities and discovered thousands of fine families living decent, Christian lives in slums only because they are paid such un fair and small wages and so pro seribed in their residential section: that they can do nothing about it. New York City is building a new Harlem for over 500 colored families, and a Demoerstic administration is building in the very South that sent sc many handpicked colored Republicar delegates .to the national convention: to elect other handpicked candidates. This new generation does not shad: ow box; it knocks them out. Today. big business men are proposing to the gov ernment just where, when and how houses may be built for low-incom families. They are organizing ‘to fi nance the equity that will enable the government to begin its work. and in sisting that the plan he proof agaisst racketeers and speculators. In this new age, we co-operate with agencies improving conditions; we de not wait until they begin and ther either attack them for leaving us: out or stand around asking to be let in. |.

In this connection, the inspired. article in a. daily newspaper of October 29 on Dr Ballou's reply to the American Legion's inquiry about_com- munistic support in the schools is, significant. It is in such circumstances as these that Dr. Frank W.

But there is more—that a preseribed course of study be open to them as to the preparation that they should undergo to serve this end. The significance of all this is apparent to Dr. Ballou as his permanent leaning towaré a direct understanding with actions in the complex situation which now prevails. It is obvious that in America the most acute and least sat’sfactorily met problem in eda- cation is how educatics of communism may best serve the youth in the colleges and’ the schools, that the results of such education will be the stumbling block thet the expon- ents of communism will find dificult to over- come. in presenting communistic doctrines in this country. Again, it is clear to those who have dis- cussed the permeating principles and policies which have gu'ded public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia during Dr. Ballou’s admin- istration that he would be the best judge of a kind of natioual communism which most Americans wouldnt stand for a single week.

JOSEPH D. Kal ‘Chairman, Publicity Calvin Says- By FLOYD J. CALVIN More and more the practice’ of having books on the Negro,. by white writers, reviewed by Negro authorities is being accepted in metropolitan circles. The most recent example is the review by Zora Neale Hurston of “God Shakes Creation,” by David Cohn in the book section of the Sunday’ New York Herald Tribune, Miss Hurston, who recently had her secend work, “Mules and Men,” published, does not lose her oppor- tunity to’set aright some very im- pertinent and sarcastic white folks who wax eloquent in nonsensical realms, only when they are ‘dis- coursing” on the Negro With great tact, but also with consum- mate artistry and not a little as- perity, she tells Mr. Cohn, who writes of the “Delta Negro,” that: “For lack of understanding he utterly misconstrues the complicated reaction to the word ‘nigger’ at the same time he betrays his ignorance of the Madagascar legends, He puts a word into the mouth of a woman as a boast that is considered a universal insult. She brags of being an ‘ink- spitter’ when it is usua'ly worth your life to call anyone thet unless it ibe an intimate. friend. ‘Inkspitter’ _ means black. It is @ term like coal-r black, lamp black and damn scuttie-blonde,” Miss Hurston tells Mr. Cohn that the reason he goes off on such tangents is: ‘He knocked upon the vast forbidden door and was refused entrance with big smiles and little lies. He has been treated to some window dressing by his Negro confidants.” There wil! be an immediate gain to the group from such criticism by Miss Hurston, White authors, who know their works, in all pro- bability, will be interpreted to even the white public, not by facetious white reviewers, but by Negroes, will not risk being made rediculous by writing silly nonsense. Sup- rose the works of the past genera- tion of popular white writers on the Negro had been subjected to the appraisal of Negro critics, Do you thirk they would have become so povular? Much of the “voodoo- ism” in Haiti and the superstitu- tion of the Southern Negro would have been omitted from the reetrd. MEASURING SELF-RESPECT The methods of social scientists are beng turned with interesting vesults on the intra-racial scene, Frof. Herbert Wycliffe Baum- gardner, formerly instructor of psychology in Allen University, has an engaging article in the eur- rent Journal of Negro Education on “Measuring Negro. Self-Re- spect.” ‘the eaitor of the journal aumits the “investigation is im- portant not so much because of the results obtained as its sug- gestiveness for further investiga- tion along this line.” The questionnaire submitted to ascertain the “attitude of Negroes toward Negroes” is most interest- ing. ‘The author himself, reveals one of the most peculiar squirks in Negro personality when he guages his blank spaces to deter- mine if the person returning the sheet is “dark, brown, or fair.” Despite. the well-known “one- drop” theory, or the fact that the late Lucy Laney and the late Alice Dunbar Nelson were equally: “‘col- ored” before. the law, in our own group we worry about the shade and tint of the skin when: evalu- ating such an important element as “self-respect.” ees This is no personal ctiticism of Prof. Baumgardner for in truth, he represents a. large school. of thought and action on this sub- Ject of color shades within the group. Which leads to the melan- choly ‘conclusion that we ate one only where we are forced to. be one, and the minute restrictions are“cemoved we automatically. di vide into a hundred camps, based ‘on olor and previous condition, constitutional amendments to the contrary notwithstanding. And i this be true, then where is’ the self-respect ?” No wonder the ar- ticle leaves one guessing as to what was found out.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL CCC Youths Develop New Jersey Park in Atlantic City Outfit Studies; Gives Concerts at Interracial Meetings; Men at Head of Departments Have Had Expert Training By EDGAR G. BROWN Note: This is the first of a series of stories on the camp life and work of the 50,000 enrollees now on the job in the CCC initiated by President Rosevelt in April 1932, to conserve the nation's human and natural resources. the paper work. He is a graduate of Franklin K Lane High School Brooklyn, New York and was formerly employed as a store clerk. He has the rating of a "leader," which pays $45 a month, and has bee elected by his fellow CCC may An undeveloped 3,100 acre tract of pine trees located 35 miles from Atlantic City, New Jersey and 32 miles from Mt. Holly, thriving seat of Burlington County, has been transformed into a vast scenic recreation park for Southern New Jersey's city and town dwellers, seeking outdoor relaxation. The transformation of the wild and undeveloped tract into the Penn State Forest has been made possible by the work activities of more than 750 CCC enrollees, who have entered and been released from Camp Penn at Chatsworth, New Jersey, since the camp's establishment in December 1933 Under the direction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forestry representative, Superintendent J. J. Sadosuk, the forest's most remote areas can be easily reached today by visitors notoring over the 27-mile system of roadways built by CCC boys. Threats of devastating fires have been checked by more than 27 miles of 200-foot fire break strips which parallel the roadways on each side, as a result of these city lads' work and training in the conservation army. Converts Swamp Recaiming of a 100 acre swamp tract which has been converted into a lake is another accomplishment of these enrollees who have secured their first knowledge of the salient parts that trees and water play in the lives of citizens, since enrolling in the Civilian Conservation Corps. The three to ten-foot lake will be used for boating, swimming and fishing. Cement picnic stoves will be constructed on the shorts of the lake by the young CCC woodsmen. On nearby Bear Swamp Hill, 165 feet above sea level, the enrollees will construct a 32-foot pavilion with a 16-foot observation tower from which outdoor lovers can observe unmolested forests for 50 miles on all sides In keeping with the ECW program for restoration and beautification of historic locations the enrollees at Camp Penn have constructed a one-acre memorial park in the center of which is a monument, erected in honor of Captain Emilo Carranza, youthful Mexican aviator, who fell to his death in 1928 at the spot where the monument stands. The huge memorial stone was purchased by the school children of Mexico. An emergency aviation landing field is being planned for development near the Carranza Memorial. Given Technical Training Training in surveying, mapmaking, mathematics, tree classification and moss gathering have been given the young men on the work projects and in special classes organized by Harold L. Dunn, 2nd Corps Area educational Advisor the commanding officer and the camp educational adviser, and taught by the foreman and technical supervisory staff. Two ten minute periods are held daily at the scene of the projects for discussion of various topics. The educational adviser, S. C. Coleman, attached to the company since May 28, 1934, has had charge of the direction of all class work, athletics, music, literary clubs, civic and scientific instructions as well as the leisure-time program which is a component part of the life of the enrollees in every CCC camp. Principles of good citizenship have been emphasized by the visual educational programs. Visits have been made to the historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia by the civic groups. The scientific class spends half a day each month, studying in the famed Franklin Institute Museum and another day at the Fels Planetarium lecture and demonstration. The Trail Blazers The Trail Blazers 35 voice CCC Glee Club of Camp Penn have sung at many churches as their contribution to the state's inter-racial program.

NEGRO ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE LOSES IN KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (By O. B. Taylor for ANP)—Due to the lack of a sufficient number of qualified voters, because Negroes will not pay their poll taxes, Dr. S. M. Clark was defeated in the race for the city council here last week, losing by 116 votes. Dr. Clark, one of the most prominent citizens in this section, was the first Negro to seek a seat in the city council, and had considerable support from the white citizens living in his district. The Knoxville Journal, in a pre-election issue, stated: "All factions agree that Dr. Clark has the best interest of Knoxville at heart." But Negroes had failed in their duty to pay poll taxes, and as a result he ran second. In discussing the election, Dr. Clark said: "I ran and lost. But I believe that, with my people taking a little more interest in their civic duty, a Negro can be elected to the poition which I sought. Until we impress upon them the necessity of paying their poll taxes and exercising their right of suffrage, they will continue to suffer for lack of adequate representation in the various legislative bodies."

Father of Two Dies In Five-Story Plunge NEW YORK (ANP) Before the horrified gaze of his two small children, James Jenkins, 31, plunged five stories to his death, Monday afternoon, while attempting to open a tightly-closed window in a bedroom at his home address. Arriving from work, Jenkins went to the window and tried several times to raise it. Bernard, 3, and Jennie Lee, 6 were interested bystanders. 3 White Men Get Life for Killing Woman, 80 NASHVILLE (ANP) — George Skillens, 21, of Rockdale, Tenn.; Albert Earl Fleming, 54, Mt. Pleasant, a painter, and Robert Grimes, 33, of Columbia, all white, who confessed to having killed and robbed Mrs. Jennie Hawkins, 80, in Columbia, are now serving life terms in the Tennessee state prison, where they were taken 48 hours after their crime had been committed. The men were charged with murder of the 80-year-old woman and seriously beating and robbing her husband after striking him on the head with a blunt instrument. N. R. B. — Please tell me if what my girl friend told me is true or not? Ans: Your girl friend took a week-end trip with her girl friend just as she told you, and she didn't even go out of the state. However, these week-end trips that she has been taking lately aren't always with girls that she goes with. N. H. L. — Why didn't my boy friend come to see me as he promised? Ans: Your boy friend was over anxious to see you on that particular day. In fact, he was so anxious to get to you that he got pinched for speeding, and after he got out of this jam it was too late to call on you. G. L. — Will our mother ever take care of us again. Ans.: It grieves your mother as much as it does you to see you working so hard and trying to keep the family together. However, she'll be well in a few more months, and will take some of the responsibility off your shoulders. ' J. K — Will I ever have any success in what I am trying to do?' Ans.: You are loved and respected by the members of the business men's society in your community. The trouble in this club is in the group of old men that you let join recently. Without these men you could have fun and amusement as you did in the past and can make your club a successful one. H. L. P — What will be the outcome of my property Ans: It will be that you will secure a lease on this property, which is the sensible thing to do. You'll get a reasonable sum of money out of your property, through this source. J. S. A — Will you kindly tell me why it is so hard to get along with my wife? She just nags at me all the time. Ans: Your wiff isn't the nagging kind, and she does want you to think she is. Since you haven't been making much money, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ANP)—Because officials of the contracting firm employed to erect this city's $3,000,000 federal housing project are alleged to have refused to pay union wage scales to Negro union workers; a general strike was called Wednesday. According to Hayes Wilson an official of the Hod Carriers and Cement Finishers union, four colored men, commonly classed as bricklayers, were employed on the project several weeks ago when construction began. Although they held union cards as skilled laborers in this class, they were arbitrarily classed as "uson tenders" and instead of receiving the regulation 80 cents an hour wage, were paid 72½ cents. When the contractor firm refused to meet the increased wage demands a general strike was called. Other skilled workers on strike include the carpenters, three of whom are colored More than a hundred common workers were employed on the job, half of whom are colored. Since the skilled laborers' strike, these have been laid off. The federal government is not a party to the strike and no U. S. action will be taken unless the two parties to the dispute fail to reach an agreement and thus impair completion of the project. Must Serve Three-Year Term For Assaulting White Man SUMTER, S. C. (A N P) — Thomas Hawkins must serve three years in the State prison for attacking J. J. Broughton, white farmer, with a razor, according to the edict of the court here Tuesday morning. The defendant claimed that the white man attacked him and that another white man attempted to shoot him but that he succeeded in disarming him. This man was identified as Mendel Smith, who testified that he went to Broughton's rescue after he had been sliced on the side of the face with the razor in Hawkins' hand. Metallic potassium will burst into flame if water is poured on it. Metallic sodium is another chemical that will frequently ignite if water is poured on it. it is all she can do to make ends meet, and she is merely trying to keep you from throwing away so much money. Things will pick up next year, and with a little more money, she'll be a lot more agreeable around the house. G. M. Y. — Can you tell me where the father of my child is and why he acted the way he did? Ans.: It just wasn't in him to do right by you so he decided to skip town. He felt that you just roped him in. I believe him to be in Nashville, Tennessee at this time. N. B. C. — What is wrong with my father to make him act the way he does? Ans.: He has just lost his job and he hasn't the nerve to tell you, for fear you'll think something wrong about it. He'll strike luck though, for he is already working on another job similar to that one, three days a week. X. R. C. — Will I receive the letter I am expecting? Ans.: Yes. And you'll receive some news in it that will be rather shocking of you. My advice is not to pay ary attention to this letter. If you go any farther with this woman, you are likely to regret it later. G. L. P. — Will I be successful in dancing or as being a doctor?. Ans.: You are much better suited for dancing than being a doctor, since you lack patience. It is my impression that in later life you will make a success as an acrobat. B. D. S. — Will you tell me, through you column, if I do what he wants me to, will we be happy together? Ans: Absolutely not. The man you are living with wants you to turn your money over to him so he will have enough to take other girls out and show them a big time. Hold on to your money and let him get out and work for his as you do. Copyright © 2015 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. competing in TRIBUNE Newsboy's Prize Contest.

POTOMAC 1667 NEGRO WORKER'S FUTURE PAINTED DARK BY OXLEY Speaking on the subject, "Occupational Opportunities for Negroes," Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, chief of the Division of Negro Labor, U. S. Department of Labor, told the Conference of Presidents of Negro Land Grant Colleges some of the problems facing the Negro in America in his efforts to make an adjustment to the occupational pattern of America. He further told the Conference that the chief task of the Negro worker will continue to be that of breaking through barriers and eliminating those handicaps which prevent his rise in the industrial world. "In these relations there are certain favorable factors: namely the Negro's growing industrial experience, changing attitude of some labor unions, the opening up of new work opportunities and expansion of others, and more particularly the entrance of Negroes into new occupations. In the whole matter of the Negro in industry, one cannot discount the pressing political influence of the Negro in the north and so-called border states of the mid-west. The Negro will always remain an integral part of our industrial system, subject to its changing pattern, but more vitally affected by ever changing factors due to race," Ouyley said. The snucker pointed out that all the Department of Labor attempts to do in the field of Negro labor rests on the solid foundation of adequate and continuing research. Urges Constant Study No other field of research requires acceptance of this fact to the decree that it is required in the field of Negro labor problems the discovery and interpretation of economic, industrial, and sociological trends in relation to Negro life; the unearthing of all the factors that contribute to Negro unemployment; the pitiless evaluation of all these facts in terms of limited objectives; the fearful, crane and scientific critical study of those objectives in terms of our constantly changing social order he told the Conference. These and countless others must be subjected to the rigorous standards of research, he said "Chief among many needs in the field of Negro labor, authentic occupational information is probably the most urgent at this time. When occupations are evolving so rapidly and many becoming passe almost over night, we must have constant study and follow-up. We are living in a constantly changing civilization and the individual and social problem of occupational adjustment changes with them. While these changes are of a continuing nature, the goal of occupational life always remains the same, an opportunity for useful, happy, successful living." In discussing the purchasing power of the Negro worker. Lieutenant Oxley stated that any sound economic program for the future somehow include restoration of purchasing power to Negro women workers. Just as employed women, if they are allowed to constitute a large reserve of low-paid workers, are a constant threat to the work standards of men in industry, so, as long as low wage standards are the lot of Negro women workers they become an additional reserve low-paid working force which leopardizes the standards of all the working population, and adds materially to the problem of community relief measures, the conference was told.

Charles Jackson, of North Patrick Street, has resumed his studies at the Parker-Gray High School, after spending a week at home with a severe cold. Your writer paid his first visit to the Lyles-Crouch School on Friday of last week and found the building to be in fine condition, in spite of the fact that the school is a renovated sifi factory. There are 10 class-rooms in the structure and a small assembly hall. All of the class-rooms are well lighted and ventilated. Mrs. Julia Pritchett, the principal, says the approximate number is 270. I have visited quite a number of rural and city schools, but I have yet to witness a school composed of small children, who were more orderly and courteous in their activities about the school. The extension classes, under the supervision of Prof. Cannon, of Virginia State College, have begun active work at the Lyles-Crouch School. Classes are held every Friday. The enrollment at Lyles-Crouch is gradually increasing. The attendance record, two-thirds of the time, is 100 per cent. This standard is maintained through the efforts of Eddie Carter the truant officer. PROSECUTOR RUSHES SCOTTSBORO TRIAN DECATUR, Ala. (GNA) — Adequate time for preparation of the defense of the Scottboro boys suffered another severe setback, this week, when it was learned that Lieut. Governor Thomas E. Knight, Jr., special prosecutor in the case, intended to rush the dates of the arraignment and trial of the boys. Following the reindictment of the boys, on November 13, Knight had announced that they would be arraigned in Decatir, Alabama, on December 16 and would be held for trial on January 6. This had allowed but one brief month for legal preparation, a wholly inadequate period of time. Knight's latest intention, if carried out, will further hamper defense preparations. Earlier in the week, Knight made a sinister announcement to the effect that the two youngest of the Scottsboro boys, Eugene Williams and Roy Wright, will be taken out of the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court and put on triad together with the older boys. "They have now come of age and may be tried in the Circuit Court," he declared. Eugene and Roy. 13 and 14 years of age, respectively at the time of their arrest, had reached their legal age during their five years of imprisonment. The two boys were remanded to the Juvenile Court after a mistrial in the case of Roy Wright during the origina' Scottsboro trials, and reversal of the death sentence against Eugene Williams by the Alabama Supreme Court on an appeal by the International Labor Defense.

TROJANS IN WIN FROM SHAW Red Briscoe, Former Arm-strong star, Counts 4 Touchdowns By G. G. SINGLETON PETERSBURG, Va. — Virginia State College's up and coming Trojans defeated a scrapping band of Shaw University Rears, 32 to 0, in an one-sided game on Rogers' Athletic Field here, last Saturday. Shaw's Bears came out of North Carolina with an impressive season's record that has given them standings in the C. I. A. A that they enjoyed for many a season. The Trojans, however, showing greater offensive strength than they have displaced this season, proceeded to demolish that reputation a bit, reducing the clawing Bears to mild-mannered cubs. Virginia State secured in every period of the game, crossing the goal line twice in the final quarter. Briscoe Luminary It took two promising freshman backs, "Red" Briscoe of Washington, D. C., and Joseph Hall of Philadelphia, to show the Trojans the way to victory. These two boys provided all the thrills of the game; time after time bringing the spectators to their feet by long runs, displaying remarkable elusiveness and agility in broken field running, reversing their fields and shaking off tacklers, changing their paces and twisting through. Briscoe crossed the goal line four times, during the afternoon, while Hall scored once. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. While light snow and hail fell on Armstrong Field, Coach Crook's Hampton Pirate soccermen, holders of the C.I.A.A. championship for two straight years, defeated the Howard Bison team in the initial conference game of the season.

Norman's field goal came after the ball had been returned from the Bluefield 37-yard line by Yynch, freshman halfback, to the Aggies' 2-yard line.

ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL WINS CITY GRID CHAMPIONSHIP CAPITAL RONG HI TOSCANINI WILL OFFER MUSIC OF WILLIAM G. STILL BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 'Afro-American Symphony' To Be Played by N. Y. Philharmonic Orchestra NEW YORK—Devotees of the musical forms originated by William Grant Still, will have a rare opportunity to enjoy them next Wednesday and Friday evenings, when the New York Philharmonic Orchestra plays his "Afro-American Symphony," with Arturo Toscanini conducting in Carnegie Hall. Mr Still is one of three American Negroes whose symphonic compositions, have been presented recently under distinguished auspices. In the summer of 1933, a symphony based on Navro, themes, composed by Mrs. Price, Chicago, was played by the Chicago Civic Symphony Orchestra with Frederick Steck conducting. Last November William L. Dawson's "Negro Symphony" was heard in Carnegie Hall with Leonold Stokowski conducting the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Won Harmon Award In English music circles Mr. Still is regarded as one of the two composers of the most significant American music. The other is Duke Ellington. Mr. Still first attracted attention when he conducted a small orchestra in engagements among the rich and the fashionable of Park and Fifth Avenues. Later his unique and entertaining arrangements were heard through Paul Whiteman and the radio performances of Willard Robinson's "Deen River" orchestra. He has been the recipient of the Harmon Award for distinguished achievement in musical composition and has twice been given a Guggenheim Fellowship for the production of special work POINTS TO CHURCH AS THE WAY OUT RALEIGH, N.C.—Praising the Christian church and urging private colleges to turn their attention to the development of ministers for the Negro church, Dr. R. R. Wright, president of Wilberforce University, declared in an address at Shaw University Wednesday, November 20, that in the church lies the solution to the problem of eliminating prejudice and misunderstanding. Dr Wright was the speaker at the Founder's Day exercises of the university which celebrated its 70th anniversary November 20. The impressive program included the reading of "In Memoriam" by Mrs. Viola McMillan of the Shaw University graduating class of 1897, the presentation by the Rev. W. S. Creecy of the West Roanoke Baptist Association and the acceptance by Trustee C. C. Spaulding of Shaw of a portrait of Dr. C.S. Brown whose services in education and church work have been far-reaching. HOLD WHITE MAN FOR HIGH WAY KILLING KINSTON, N. C.

Leading Negroes and many white persons have commended and are still commending the fraternity on its undertaking. Only the SMALL fellows are criticizing the efforts the group put forth. What a fine setting, a bar room makes for the selection of outstanding Negroes — led, too, by an employee of the Department of Justice. --- SECOND SECTION Last week a straw vote to decide what Negroes had made outstanding achievements in the field of business, in Washington, was conducted over a local bar by a columnist for a Baltimore newspaper, an office boy in the Department of Justice. The vote was taken for publication purposes so that the local columnist would have some pretenses to ridicule the efforts put forth by members of the local chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fakelery in sponsoring their project in connection with National Negro Achievement Week. In addition to ridiculing the winners of the achievement awards, which were presented by the fraternity, the columnist takes time out to point to the aid given the fraternity group by Attorney Pelford V. Lawson, Jr., in making the presentation address for the fraternity. Mr. Lawson, it was pointed out, by the columnist, is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. It is to be regretted that an employee of the United States Government should stoop so low as to attempt to embarrass the efforts put forth by a group of college students in an endeavor to give recognition to those Negroes whom the people of Washington felt had made outstanding contributions in the business field. Thinking that the columnist, a Government employee, would be the last one to refuse cooperation, the fraternity sent him a copy of their week's program, and a complimentary ticket to its dance and business display in an effort to get his cooperation in giving advance publicity to the cause. But none was given by him. Rather than get his game of barroom fame to send in their nominees for the awards, the Department of Justice office boy waits until the ballots are all in, the rewards presented, to conduct a straw ballot. In this Loyalty To the Deserving? It is interesting to note that none of the men named as having participated in the straw voting, sent in any ballots to the fraternity contest. They would gather around a bar and cast their ballots where the ballots were of no material good, not even to those they claim were deserving. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has been, is now, and always will be comprised of a group of men who are cosmopolitan in their ideas and undertakings. Many worthwhile projects have been sponsored by them unselfish, and with an idea of not bringing glory to them or directing the eyes of the nation on them, but for the good of the race and of humanity. National Negro Achievement Week was not conceived with the idea in mind that it would heap coals of glory upon its head or the head of any particular group. Hence, when these projects are undertaken, Omega looks around for men and women of good repute who are capable and willing to lend their cooperation to the efforts regardless of fraternity or sorority affiliation. In keeping with this the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity invited Dr. Charles H. Wesley, head of the department of history at Howard University, to deliver the sermon to the business men of Washington, which the doctor kindly consented to do, and did do in his usual masterful style. The fact that he was president of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity did not enter into the selection. It did not matter. In like manner when the fraternity looked around for a person to present the achievement awards in its behalf, it felt that no better individual could be chosen for this service than the president of the Council of Fraternities and Sororites. Be.ford, V. Lawson, Jr. The particular fraternity he belonged to did not matter. The Actions of "Little" Fellows No attempt is made however, to conceal the fraternity affiliation of Omega's guest speakers, when such is known, as evidenced by the fact that Mr. Lawson was introduced to the audience at the mass meeting by an Omega man who mentioned the fact that Mr. Lawson was assistant general counsel of the Alba Phi Alba Fraternity. Dr. William J. Thomkins, Recorder of Deeds, who delivered one of the radio addresses for Omega, is not a fraternity man; neither was Jesse Mitchell, president of the Industrial Bank of Washington a member of the Omega Fraternity, and it did not matter. All of the participants on the Omega program were well-fitted for the particular service and rendered A| RIGHT TO LIVE AS MEN, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. FOR THIS WE DEDICATE OUR LIVES. Won Harmon Award What would William Stanley, assistant to the Attorney General, think if this was brought to his attention, as well as the columnist attack on worth-while efforts undertaken by Negroes in Washington? We don't know what his reaction would be, but Omega in Washington is going to attempt to find out. To submit a copy of that column, we believe, will shock him. If it doesn't it will not be because he didn't have opportunity to read it.

Thousands of natives still pour into Addis Ababa where they pledged loyalty to Emperor Haile Selassie. In fact Ethiopia hasn't begun to fight and are waiting for the Italians to get into the mountainous regions where they will be easy prey to Selassie's fighters. When the two opposing nations have met in skirmishes, the Ethiopians have been victorious despite Rome's claims to the contrary. Federal Life Insurance Company Receivership Suit Dismissed in Court As predicted exclusively in a previous issue of the Tribune, the petition for receivership for The Federal Life Insurance Company, a local corporation, instituted by John A Marshall, insurance superintendent of the District of Columbia was dismissed in the Supreme Court, Friday. This action climaxed a series of negotiations begun in 1933 between the stockholders of The Federal Life Insurance Company and the directors of The Richmond Beneficial Life Insurance Company whereby the latter purchased from the former the assets and liabilities of the local company. Sale Ratified The sale was ratified at a meeting of the local stockholders held September 27, and the actual control passed to the Richmond groun October 7, when the new Board of Trustees was elected and qualified.

J. — With a tremendous amount of interest exhibited in cities, within a two hundred-mile radius, Atlantic City is prepared to entertain a record crowd at the annual Lincoln-Howard game, Thursday Thanksgiving) night. The game will be played in the fifteen-million-dollar Atlantic City auditorium, where tons and tons of selected sod have been spread and striped into the world's finest indoor gridiron. D. C. To Be Represented Indications are that Washington, D. C., whence come the thundering herd of the Bison, will send a banner crowd to the game in an effort to close an otherwise disastrous season, with a win over the Lion of Lincoln. The Lion pack has also tasted dregs of defeat in most of its major games this season, but a win of this age-old traditioned game for either team will be ample reward for an otherwise colorless season. To Run Special Under the careful planning of Prof. Clarence W. Davis, of the Department of Physical Education at Howard, a special will be operated from the Capitol, that will bring the student body, including about three hundred uniformed members of the R.O.T.C., and followers from Washington. The train will leave at 750, Thursday morning and make stops in Baltimore, and Philadelphia, where special coaches will be added. The train will leave Atlantic City at three a.m., Friday, following the Scholarship Ball in the auditorium ballroom. Kansas Town Honors Negro Educator FT. SCOTT, Kansas (By Dr. James T.

True enough the Generals downed their ancient rivals from across the street, but the manner in which they did it served to take nothing from the little-regarded opponents who made the champions sweat under a 12-0 disadvantage for almost two full quarters Dunbar, despite the loss of the game, might well mark yesterday down as a red letter day in her 1935 athletic program. Armstrong won the game. The score was 13-12. By so doing the Orange and Blue copped both the city and conference titles. Dunbar's Honors But Dunbar won a moral victory. For the past several years, the Poets have been looked upon as Armstrong's inferior on the gridiron. And this year in particular, the Crimson and Black was given very little chance. Her team had been extended to the utmost to take out victories over the weak Cardozo High School eleven and the National Training School outfit. Even her most loyal supporters cast their eyes at the Heavens in despair whenever some unkind fau mentioned the Dunbar-Armstrong game. But her players and Coach Charlie Pinderhughes had other things in mind. They were not beaten. Football games are played on the field, seemed to be their attitude. And they proved just that much—that no matter how much better a team is touted than another, it is not until they have been outscored in a game that the victory is won. Gordon Leads Poets Determined, the Poets took the field and rushed over two touchdowns before the McIntyre-Graves coached lads appeared to know what it was all about. Led by their all-High prospect, Blondy Gordon, Dunbar went right to work. A pass from Gordon to Chick and a trek over the goal line of his own accord by Gordon, placed Dunbar on the palatable end of a 12-0 count. Calvin Clark, all-round star of the General athletic department, is the youth to whom the Orange and Blue coaches probably owe thanks. Clark, after being on the front end of a pass which put the ball on the Dunbar 7-yard line, plunged over his own right guard for the initial Armstrong touchdown. He repeated to add the extra point. And it was also Clark who heaved to Watkins, Tech end standing in the pay-off zone in the closing minutes to give his team the advantage for the first time during the afternoon.

If on the other hand, there is any real demand for the graduate instruction of Negroes by the State, the N.A.A.C.P. has only to demonstrate it, and the commonwealth will meet the need at the State College for Negroes." Your editor came across this little sketch in a white magazine about a year or two ago: "Two American Women" "Last fall we happened to read within a few weeks about the deaths of two women. Neither had attracted national attention during her lifetime but the work that each did will live long after her. "One was Charlotte Thorn. She came of an old New England family. When she left college she had no thought of working, but plunged into gay social life. A shrewd and perceptive educator asked her to teach at Hampton Institute. 'Oh,' she cried. 'I can't do that. I've only played cards and denounced all my life.' But she did it. Within a few years against the wishes of her family and the advice of her friends, she determined to spend her life in the education of the Negro. In 1892 she built a log cabin in the middle of a cotton field in the most backward section of Alabama, where there were sixteen Negroes to every one white person, where the lien system of crops held the Negro down and the whites were hostile and suspicious of her motives. Today the Calhoun Colored School has thousands of acres, thirty-three buildings and five hundred students. To the day of her death, at the age of seventy-one, Miss Thorn lived there alone in a little cottage, surrounded by the valuable heirlooms of her New England ancestry—and her door was never locked.

EDITORIALS Once upon a time the emphasis at Thanksgiving used to be placed upon what we, as individuals, had to be thankful for — just what blessings had come to us through the year, for which we might be thankful But now, we know, all of us, that our reasons for giving thanks will be in proportion, not to what we have received, but to what we have given to others. For, one cannot be selfish even about thankfulness. No matter how much we might have received, we will not be truly happy unless we can feel, humbly, that we are included in somebody's prayers of thankfulness on this day for that which we have given. The hand that cannot give cheerfully should not receive — ever though it be grateful reception. The thing for which we are truly thankful this year is simply because we are alive. Living is such a delightful adventure we want to carry on in such a way that we can truly say to whatever gods there be: "Thanks—I would not have missed it for the world."

Name Address I am... year's old I attend The Bear and the Fox Once a bear and a fox lived next door to each other. One day the fox went to the store and brought some blackberries. The bear saw the fox buy the berries and wanted some of them. "I am going to the fox's house and get some of those good berries," said the bear. So he got ready and went over to the fox's house. He did not knock on the door but peeped into the window. "Gee, there are the berries on the table. I do not see the fox. I will take all the berries," said the greedy bear. He climbed into the window and took all the berries and ran to the door. "Just a minute, Mr. Bear," cried the fox who had just come in. "Drop my berries." The bear was so surprised that he dropped the berries and ran out of the door as fast as he could. When he got home, he went to bed and soon fell fast asleep. Soon the fox came over to the bear's to get after him, but he found the bear sound asleep. "I'm going to play a trick on that bear," said the fox. He ran right back home and made a great big blackberry pie. Then guess what he put in the pie. He put some real live bees right in the middle of the pie. "I'm going to sting his nose," laughed the fox. He took the pie over to the bear's house, placed it on the table, and ran outside to watch the fun. Soon the bear woke up. "Oh look what the fox has made for me. He is not mad at me. He is a good fox." The bear ran over to the table and began to eat the pie. "Oh my nose! Oh my nose! Oh my nose!" cried the bear as the bees began to sting his poor nose. "Let me out of here! Let me out of here!" He ran to the door, threw it open and went a sailing toward the river. The fox was outside the window just alaughing away. George Kimble, (8) Logan School The Fox, the Lion, and the Man Once upon a time there was an old sly fox and a lion. One day the fox went into the woods to get some dinner. "Oh, yes, Mr. Lion you may go. Activities in the Realm of Women with me," said the fox. So the lion and the fox went into the woods. Now the lion had not had anything to eat for, a long, long time, and he was very, very hungry. So he took the fox to his den and ate him. "Mr. Fox's house is so pretty, I think I will live in his house," said the lion. The very next day he moved into the fox's house. One day an old man came through the woods. He saw the fox's house. "That is where my friend the fox lives," said the man. "I will go in and visit him." The old man went up to the door and locked. "O'n the door and let me in, Mr. Fox," said the old man. The door opened and what did the old man see but the great big lion. The lion jumped at the man, but the man screamed and ran as fast as he could. The lion was right behind him. "I'll eat you! I'll eat you! roared the lion. But the man ran faster and faster. And the lion ran right behind him all the way home. "Oh, wife! Oh, wife! Oh, wife!" cried the man as he stumbled into his house. "Look what's got after me!" "A lion, a lion!" cried the wife as she locked the door. The lion ran to the door but the door was locked. He ran to the back door, but that was locked.

One Thursday in October our teacher went with us to see the different kinds of trees, notice their leaves and, learn their names. We went up by the Union Station. There, we looked at the different kinds of trees and their leaves. We picked up some of the leaves and some of the bark that had fallen off the trees. There were oak leaves, maple leaves, jingo leaves, and sycamore leaves. I'm sure all the children enjoyed themselves very much. Some of the boys and girls made leaf books. Bernice Parker, a classmate of mine, made a beautiful leaf book and every one liked it very much. Lillie Mae Brown (12) 5A grade Dear Editor Paul Lawrence Dunbar was an honest Negro.

STYLE CHATS There she stood as straight as a column . . as graceful as a young saniling . . gowned in a social whirl of captivating pleats. That gown, perfectly plain except for the almost invisible pleats, transformed her into a Greek goddess. Here's where the woman was silent .... The gown spoke! Here was a gown to enhance; nothing to drown the personality of the wearer. There is a preponderance of black. The very smart New York women are seen wearing black . . . Black from head to foot. Some brighten the ensemble with a sparkling clip or pin, a colored belt or other feminine touches and if the neckline is high a stran or two of pearls. Perhaps, you will perfer wearing sulphur yellow, white or wine red gloves. Black gloves, of course, but they are not as smart There is nothing like lace for a feminine touch. The blouses have saliled forth most gorgeously. Lace blouses . . . frilly, trilby, ruffled, bunched to wear exclusively with a velvet suit or a long crepe or velvet skirt for the ever-popular cocktail hour. That's a new dress! How do I know it? It's shirred! The shirred gowns of the fashionable somehow seem to compliment the figure beautifully. ```markdown ``` Now, I not have to worry, because I can not afford sashes. And I am glad! I have just found a miracle scarf of color and fabric. The colors are matched exultingly, and cut so that they tie in the most becoming fashions. One can not dream about these scarfs . . . You will have to see them . . . They are just that new scarf and different . . . Wear a new scarf and "make" any dress or suit. And the fascinating colors will do things to your face and color Plaids! Plaids! and more Plaids! And what Plaids! Big, splashy, noisy plaids...Small, gay, subdued plaids. If you want to be a gay spot at the football game I suggest a warm colorful wool coat. There's a swanky swagger about it. Roomy enough to wear over dressy suits. And by the way, wear a bright plaid under your sport or fur coat . . . The "Well, Johnny," said the uncle who haven't seen him for some time, "you are getting to be quite a big boy now, aren't you?"
