LEGI Morgan 5-Year Pro League Say At Convent Half Million Budget Is Plan of Body in Twentyfifth Anniversary By FREDERICK S. WEAVER Staff Correspondent NEW YORK — Commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Urban League, more than 500 leading citizens of the United States, in every walk of life, gathered at the Manhattan Grill in down-town New York, Tuesday night, to bid "bon voyage" to the league as it launched into its second twenty-five-year period. Speaking on the subject, "After Twenty-five Years, What?" Dr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, who has piloted the organization since its beginning, declared that the league would cling to its same program, believing that the program is right, that the public will support it and that its objectives must and shall be attained if America is to realize its ideals. 5-Year Program "We begin tonight to plan for our next five years' work by adopting a $500,000 five year budget, $95,000 annually, to meet the current obligations and to allow for expansion and $25000 to establish a permanent Ruth Standish Baldwin Fellowship Fund in honor of our most beloved founder whose far-seeing mind nurtured by an underlying devotion to her fellows made this organization possible," Dr. Jones announced. From a position in which there could be found no trained Negro social workers and few competent stenographers, the Urban League has arrived at the stage in which its movement alone employs 350 trained social workers and clerical force, to say nothing of the hundreds of similarly trained personnel in other agencies, public and Peacemaker in Family Row Dies of Bullet Wound Archie Stewart, 33, janitor at 2305 Eighteenth Street. who was shot Monday night while acting as peacemaker during a reported row between Antonio Plaganasa, 33, Filipino, and his Mexican wife Mrs. Luz Plaganasa, 26, 1855 Calvert street, died in Emergency Hospital early Wednesday. Police reported Stewart received two bullet wounds in his stomach and, although fatally wounded, succeeded in wrestling the weapon from Plaganasa and beating him over his head with it. During the struggle police reported, the weapon was discharged, the bullet entering Plaganasa's leg. Plaganasa was given first aid at Emergency Hospital and later transferred to Gallinger Hospital for treatment and to be kept under police guard until Coroner A.

Good Will and Co-operation Stressed by Gov. Lehman By FREDERICK S. WEAVER Staff Correspondent NEW YORK—Telling a group of prominent citizens gathered here from all sections of the country to pay tribute to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Urban League, that no society can ever continue to exist with unassimilated minorities. Harbart H. Lehman, governor of the State of New York, paid a glowing tribute to the officers of the league for their efforts to develop the country into an "inter-racial consciousness." "Not only in New York but all over the country you have developed inter-racial consciousness...and have helped to interpret one part of a United State that has been called the great melting pot because we have always had perhaps only a subconscious realization that no society can ever continue to exist with unassimilated minorities, that democracy must be economic and social as well as political, and that equality of opportunity for all is an ideal which requires militant vigilance to sustain it," the Governor said. Good Will Urged Laying stress on the number of Negroes he has appointed to important positions in he State of New York. Governor Lehman said that the Negro had a right to expect and demand recognition in the State and Federal government. From this trend, he said, should develop leadership that is articu- (See GOV.

The Tribune is publishing a Health Pledge containing 12 simple rules to health, each issue in an educational drive to make Washington health conscious. "Let me take this opportunity to commend The Tribune for the high character of service that it is rendering the people of the District," said Dr. Wiggins in his letter.

Tuskegee President Urges Union to Gain Negro's Desired End NEW YORK—Calling upon all organizations and programs, which are pointing toward the socioeconomic adjustment of the Negre, to join hands in a closely integrated program that will eliminate duplication of effort and will with a minimum of lost motion attain through the Ree possessible strength of combined and harmonious action, the goal which we all seek, Frederick D. Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute addressed the twenty-fifth anniversary dinner of the National Urban League at the Manhattan, here in New York, Tuesday night. The young Tuskegee president paid tribute to the Urban League for securing employment and adjustment by serving as a placement bureau; defending and insisting upon the Negro's right to man the responsible positions in institutions established for his benefit for the inauguration of new institutions of services; for insisting upon memberships on boards designed to secure for the Negro economic justice, and for the promotion of social service through the granting of fellowships, and called upon all in his presence to join with the league for the continuation of their program.

Dr. Ruhland pointed out that the death rate among the colored is six to one of that among the whites in Washington, describing this as "a national disgrace which must be changed." RESTORATION OF Disease He characterized conditions among the colored population of the Capital—which has the largest death rate in the country from tuberculosis—as "a reservoir for the spread of tuberculosis."

The motion to rescind was made by Past Commander Alexander Mann, of the post and this caused considerable debate, particularly from George H. Ryckraw, past commander of the post who introduced the resolution and previous motion last week to support the ruling of the Board of Education. Junior Vice-Commander Albert L. Dunlap, of the post made a motion to the effect that an excerpt be published of the action taken by the majority of the post. The motion was unanimously adopted. Junior Vice-Commander Albert L. Dunlap, contended that the motion to uphold the Board of Education in its ruling on the question of teaching communism in the public school was not the intent of the majority of members of the post, only a small minority who took advantage of the situation last meeting night of the post when only a small number of members were present. It is the desire of the post to uphold the supremacy of the government and not to permit the red flag to float in the breeze so long as those who fight to preserve the ideals of true Americanism live, several members said. MRS. CURTIS IS BURIED IN ARLINGTON The body of Mrs. Namah G. Curtis, well known Washington woman, and wife of Dr. A. M. Curtis, will be laid to rest today (Friday) in Arlington National Cemetery.

Relatives and intimate friends of the family attended the last rites Mrs. Curtis died suddenly last Monday. 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 The train is slated to leave Washington, Union Station, at 4:25 p.m., arriving in New York one hour before fight time.

Borah, of Idaho, with his hat all but tussed into the 1926 presidential ring, Saturday made a b [] bid for support in Dixie by lambasting the N.A.A.C.P. for its efforts to obtain passage in Congress of anti-lynching legislation. At the same time the western solon, known to be publicity hungry, also alienated possible black supporters wherever Negroes have the ballot. If Borah does run, the association is expected to launch what may be its bitterest fight in history in an effort to bring about his defeat. The Borah communique, aimed at Walter White in answer to a letter by the NA.A.C.P. national secretary, stated the Senator considered a Federal law to ban lynching would be contrary to the constitution. The Idahoan, incidentally, is sponsor of a resolution to investigate alleged religious persecution in Mexico. (Fine Borah, Page 2) Endorse Dr. Wright for A.M.E. Bishopric WHEELING. W.Va.—Delegates to the General Conference of the A.M.E. Church from the Third Episcopal District met here in full force, only two out of the forty being absent. Among other business transacted, they unanimously endorsed Dr. R.R. Wright, Jr., president of Wilberforce University as their choice as a connectional candidate for the bishopric. The Rev. J.F. Williams pastor of St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Columbus, Ohio, who made the motion spoke of Dr. Wright as follows: "I know of no more outstanding man in the connection who deserves the bishopric more than Dr. Wright. His outstanding work in the connection for over 30 years, redeeming our book concern twice and coming to the rescue of Wilberforce University as head at the beginning of the quadrennium, and the wonderful work which he has done there, entitle him to our serious consideration."

The historic Thanksgiving clash between these two neighbor institutions from the O'd Dominion State went to the older by a comparatively close though decisive score of 15-7. Hampton's lads won because they played superior football, Union's youngsters stood off a more complete humiliation by stop; ping the more highly regarded Seasiders at times when they appeared ready to make their affair a rump. Union did so because her players were fired with determination peculiarly characteristic of the underdog team. It can be safely said that the attendance mark did not reach expectations. Although kind-hearted newspaper estimates gave the crowd as "closet to 6,000" this home field of the New York Giants baseball club played mean tricks on the most optimistic partisan. The slim crowd was practically lost in the huge ampitheatre. Overcast skies and the competition offered by the New York University-Fordham clash at Yankee Stadium probably played a part in keeping down the attendance. The enthusiasm of followers of the two rival schools was not bothered. (See HAMPTON. Page 13) The Tribune Now Twice Weekly, Tuesday and Friday. Martial Music of Add Glamour to Much of Former Color of Town; Mayor White Crowd of Spectato By FREDERICK S. WEAVER Staff. Correspondent MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM: ATLANTIC CITY; N.J.-Turkey Day and all's well on the Eastern seaboard except for a football game between Howard University; of Washington; D.C.; and Lincoln University; of Pennsylvania; which is being played here tonight on the gridiron of the magnificent Municipal Coliseum. The annual game; which in bygone years was the football classic of Negro colleges; has lost its color; its interest and its enthusiasm; if the calibre of material represented on the two teams and the small crowd; which; when the game began; was scarcely more than 3000; are indications. The crowd finally increased to approximately 5000; which was only one-third the size that used to witness the classic when Jazz Byrd was playing for the Bears and Dan Contee for the Bisons. The Howard University R.O.T.C. band was the first to enter the field; led by Sergeant John L. Brice.

STATE, 7 By GARLAND MACKEY BALTIMORE, Bugle Field—Too much Troupe backed by a well bal, anced team played havoc with the Virginia State College football team here Thursday as Morgan College ran hough-shod over the Trojans by a score of 32 to 7. Playing in a sea of mud and a pouring down rain, both teams made repeated fumbles as it was impossible to hold the slippery ball. It was Troupe who was playing his last game for his alma mater who romped off with the major honors. Incidently is was Morgan College's 33rd consecutive grid victory. Troupe carried more than his share of the burden and easily won the lion's share of the spoils. Despite the fact that he was covered with slimy mud from head to foot he was the constant ground gainer and time and again he ripped State's line to shreds in his plunging dashes towards goal. The lone tally for State came in the first quarter on a series of straight line bucks starting from near midfield to the final muddy strip of chalk line. Morgan Best From then on the Morgan Bears had everything their own way. Most of the play was in State's territory. The Petersburg team started a punting game in the second quarter, but Morgan easily beat the Trojans at this bit of strategy. On each play after a man was down he would skip another four or five yards. Towards the end of the massacre Coach Hurt sent several available man into the fray. With backs to the wall in the last quarter State put up a valiant and stiff fight, but the resistance proved naught as Morgan continued its march goalward.

Keeping the spirit high for Lincoln University was the Bordentown band from Bordentown Training School; Bordentown; N.J. The band, directed by Major Louis Watson, former football coach at Howard University, followed the Howard band on the field before the opening of the game and; after marching around the gridiron a few times; took its place in a section reserved for it on the Lincoln University side. Hold Parade Both bands paraded from the Y.M.C.A on Arctic Avenue to the auditorium; escorted by a squadron of motorcycle police; reaching the scene of the Turkey-Day battle approximately 45 minutes before the game was called. Howard's team entered the field at 7:45; practiced for half an hour and yielded the field to their opponents 20 minutes before the game was called.

BOY LEADS LION ELEVEN TO VICTORY Lincoln Counts in First and Second Periods to Gain Lead; Never Relinquished By ART CARTER Tribune Staff Writer CONVENTION HALL AUDI TIRIUM, ATLANTIC CITY (Thursday)—For the first time in a decade, Howard University's football eleven bowed in defeat in in their annual Thanksgiving game with Lincoln University tonight; as the ferocious Lions trampled the Bisons under a 14-7 score in the massive Convention Hall auditorium. While torrents of rain dampened the seashore resort, a disappointing crowd, conservatively estimated at 4,500 spectators, sat comfortably in the huge indoor stadium as the stalwart wearers of the Orange and Blue, captained by Barrington Parker, son of a Washington Baptist minister, outsmarted and outrushed the Bison horde to push over two touchdowns in the opening half, and then; like their jungle namesakes; protected the advantage with fight and might. 55-Yard Run Scores The game was hardly four minutes old when the Lions stunned the spectators with a swift running attack that momentarily bewildered the Bisons. On a fake pass, G. (Stumpy) Jackson, 21-year-old former Booker T. Washington High School star of Norfolk, Va. circled right end; eluded the Howard secondary defense, and raced 55 yards before being brought to earth on the Bison 7-yard stripe. Jackson's sensational play came on the second offensive play made by the Lions. J. Jackson, Lincoln signal-caller, skirted the opposite flank for six yards and a first down on the Bison 1-yard mark. On the next play G. Jackson hit center for a touchdown. G. Jackson also converted from placement for the extra point. Employing a series of deceptive (See BISONS, Page 13) DR. WILDER TB.

Gandy. Owing to the fact that the college was established by an act of the State Legislature, no single person can be singled out as the founder of the institution, the president explained. Hence, what is known as Founders' Day at many private institutions, is observed as Presidents' Day here; and appropriate exercises are held in memory of the early workers and in appreciation for their services. Three illuminating features will constitute this year's Presidents' Day program, which will be held Friday, January 19. Dedication of three new buildings will be held in the afternoon. A life size portrait of the Negro members of the State Legislature which enacted the law creating the institution will be unveiled. A member of the alumni of long ago and a member of the present student body will speak on the evening program. Dr. Laurens H. Seelve To Talk on Ethiopia's Future Dr. Laurens H.

Miss McNeil Speaks Enthusiasm, which rose rapidly during the contest, reached a high point at the first staff meeting on Friday when Miss Bertha N. McNeil of Dunbar High School addressed the group. After complimenting them on past issues of the Torch, the Miss McNeil told the staff of the many responsibilities entailed in publishing a school paper. "Writing is hard work," Miss McNeil explained, "but just as 'babies can't cut teeth on musch,' high school students cannot get the right measure of growth without a corresponding effort." According to Miss McNeil, journalism is one of the major creative fields for young Negro writers, and for sometime to come the chief outlets for creative writing are going to be found in newspaper work. Newspapers, she said, offer a variety of activities for talented young men and women, especially for those who have the character qualities of initiative and responsibility. Staff assignments for the initial issue of this season's Torch were made by Mrs. I. C. Malvan. Mrs. E. H. Jewell, one of the faculty advisors of the Armstrong newspaper was in charge of the meeting.

Winston went down and “out” twice before a crowd of 12,000 Bos- tonians would approve of the departure of the two men from the ring. And when the Hub City fans finally decided that they might just as well “let ’em go,” their attitudes gave evi- dence of the feeling that the two “fighters” and their handl- ers had better make their “going” quick. A hunger joke has never been played on a New England sports crowd than that gesture at fighting made by Sharkey and the Unknown (who, unfortunately, didn’t remain unknown). The white gob was declared the knock- out winner in a bout in which all the punches passed be- tween the two fighters put together couldn’ have assembled enough power to break an egg. Sharkey lived up to his reputation as being head and shoulders above any other fighter in the history of the sci- ence in the gaining of decisions of a questionable nature. Even in his first fight on his “return journey,” he regained undisputed Possession of the throne he vacated when he retired from the ring—that of the Phony Phloater, During his career as a fisticuffer, the Boston sailor, who gained his first prominence as champion of the United States Navy, became involved in more flukey fights than perhaps any other heavyweight to gain so much as fair rank- ing. The boys who had the interests of the game at heart breathed more easily when Sharkey hung up his gloves. They felt that it was “good riddance . . . ."—you probably know the rest of that adage. * Like the moving-picture villain who always shows up at just the right wrong time, Sharkey casts his shadow over a sport that is fighting like Me ea to regain its los pres- ? ae the devil to regain its lost pres- tige. With Jimmy Braddock as aiarpinns Joe Louis, ee Baer and Max Schmeling as challengers, the ring is able to boast of at least three honest fellows.

RIVAL BANDS PLAY PART IN “CLASSIC” See te eee ge hae much enthusiasm; due probably to the fact that scarcely more than 3000 fans were on hand to greet them at the opening of the game. Turkey Day seemed just an- other day in this seashore city as contrasted with two years ago when, these same two highly- touted teams invaded the city for their annual classic. Tough Day Commercially Speaking of classic; the wora “means very little with reterence to tne Howard-Lincoin game; if the attendance and euthusiasm ot football tas are any indications. Hotels and rooming houses hau a dull day. ‘the Lincoln Hotel which. two years ago, had every available room reserved long before Thanks- giving Day, had space for anyone who desired it, Kestaurants and cafeterias did only a normal busi- ness and ‘round about the hot- spots the only persons heard dis- cussing the probable outcome of the game were rooters from the two schools participating. No one seemed interested in ‘what the outcome would be, and very few were inquiring. The few who did attempt to speculate gave both teams equal chances of win- ning. Dance Real Attraction The dance in the auditorium batiroom, with Voa seaman ana nis ovcocstva iurmshing une mu- Sic} seemed to ve Lne main attrac tion tnat brought the tew hundred peopie here trom out of town. ‘she 400L0all “classic” seemed to have been a side attraction, The tact that tae game was played indoors robs the promoters ot the excuse that the rain kept the crowd away. The only pos- sivle excuse that can be given; if any excuse is offered; lies in. the fact that neither of the teams have made a brilliant showing in any of. the games they have played this year. Howard has won only one C:1.A.A. game this year, and Lincoln has lost every conference game in which it has participated. The two teams then; with noth- ing to their credit, enter the spaciois auditorium to play the annual Turkey Day game, which only a few years azo was consid- ered one of the most outstanding classics of the tootball veason, Nevertheless, the tradition must Show Must Go On go on. The two teams must con- tinue to meet. No one is inter- ested in who will win and no one eems to care. May the best team win is the spirit of the fans, and this zear the best tcam happened to be Lincoln. And the vame end- ed with the Lions winning 14-7; to capture their first victory over Howard in 11 years. The teams were honored with the presence of Atlantic City's Mavor C.D. White and C. H.

But in recording the Techmen’s victory, it is timely to note the work of one Calvin Clarke. Clarke, playing his last year as a General gridder, was the spear- head of the Armstrong elated running attack tlint eventually spelled defeat for the Poets—bit- ter defeat inasmuch as the Red and Black cohorts of Coach Charlie Pinderhughes had almost upset the dope bucket by outplay- ing, outsmarting and outscoring the Orange and Blue pigskin lug- gers for two quarters and six min- utes of the game. In those two quarters and six minutes of the third, the Poets, inspired by the last- minute words of a veteran coach, spirited by the attend- ant glory that goes with beat- ing “the boys around the cor- ner,” and undaunted by the unblemished record that Arm- strong dragged into the fray. Played over their heads and electrified the crowd (nearly 2.500 saw the contest) with a deceptive aerial attack that completely baffled the Tech secondary defense. Both of the Poets’ touchdowns were scored with the old “sleep- er” play, one of the oldest plays known in football. But what bat- fled tke Generals was the strategic manner in which the Dunbarmen used the pley. For two straight plays, the “Poets weuld have Blondy Gordon, who, incidentally, must share the day’s backfield glory with Clarke “sleep” near the sidelines without tossing a pass in bis direction. On the next play the ball would be passed to Gor- don, and regardless of the fact of whether the heave was completed or not; the next pass would go in the same direction. Then, the damage was done. On the next play, the Poets would line up in the same manner and toss a short, snappy pass to Charlie Pinderhuzes, Jr, the coach’s son. It was the’ latter type of passes that put the Red and Black warriors in scoring po- sition or both occasions, although the “sleener” play accounted for both touchdowns. Now, back to Clarke, about whom this nieve is svnmosed to be, Clarke, a hefty, bruising back is one of the best runnine players developed in- local hich school: LONDON, England (ANP)—The ghost of the Max Baer-Joe Louis fight at New York in September was taken for a public walk this week when Tommy Laughran, former heavyweight champion and dancing master of the ring in Eng- land now to tae on the local crop of fist fodder spoke for public print on the “real” story of the rise and fall of the Livermore Lar- ruper. According to Laughran, Baer was still bothered with those eg shell hands when he tackled the Detroit Destroyer. Tommy swears this is so, despite examination by disinterested physicians prior to the bout, who declared Max's fists were as fit as they would ever be. The American says injuries sus- tained by the Californian prior to the Braddock battle had never healed. To Proud to Tell “Before the Braddock fight, Max confied in me he had broken his hands while training,” Laughram asserted. “He was so cocksure of himself, however that -he would not tell the public. He was going on with the fight confident he had nothing to beat. I suggested that he postpone the fight until his hands healed. Max actually tried to do this But he was persuaded to go through with the fight to schedule “Against Joe Louis Max was still bothered with his fists. He simply couldn't put up a fight. He told me after the Braddock bout he would not fight again for a year. That would have given him time to get his hands fit and hardened. “T doubt if Louis would have beaten Baer at his best. Lauds Brown Bomber “I saw Louis topple Carnera, “He's a great fighter, is the De- troit Bomber. What 1 like about him so much, is he's a natural fighter Everything comes easily te him, He looks the part. He moves very quickly and easily. No move. ments is wasted, And he punchet very hard. “Joe Louis is the kingpin of the lot. ‘That much is just about cer- tain. I can't see any of the other back there to touch him.” within recent years. The Tech senior is the left- over star of Armstrong's pow- erful “Four Horsemen” of 1934: Freeman, — Neverson; Clarke and Reds Briscoe, the same Briscoe who has been cutting gridiron capers at Vir- ginia State all season. Clarke gained 85 per cent of th scrimmage yards gained by Arm. strong in Monday’s game, and ha: done the same throughout the sea- son. Tt was Clarke who plunged through the Dunbar line for the extra point, which eventually de- sided tho contest; and it was the same Clarke who tossed the pass into the arms of Watkins for the winning Siuchdawn: HAMPTON 8 TOP PANTHERS Ee ‘however, and the tilt went on and off with its usual high degree of interest. 3 ; ‘Hampton began her dirty work early in the game. Shortly after. the opening kick-off, the Blue and White, gained possession of the ball on a beautiful punt to the “guicide corner” by Bill Parker” Union's left-footed kicker. Taking the ball on her own 10-yard stripe, the Pirates marched to midfield on sustained rushes. Laterals Effective Denarting from their straight- football, the Blue and White un- ‘corked a newly developed lateral offense Successive passes, one from. Dismond to Hopson and an- ‘other from Dismond to Page, sub- stitute for Taylor, netted the Pi- rates a 26-yard gain. Here a for- ward pass, Dismond to Starks, gave the Smith<cotched crew @ rain of another first down to place the nigskin on the Union 26-yard cibhon. Dismond struck out over guard for a Hampton first down on the Union 21. Here the Panthers tichtened. Two thrusts at the Stee! and Red forward wall netted the’ Seasiders nothing. But an the next play Hopson, taking the ball ‘on a spinner, negotiated the dis- tance to the twin-line, Dismond’s try for the extra point was par- tilly blocked Throuhout the remainder of the period. the opposing teams battled pretty much on even terms. Hamp- ton fought to protect her lead. Union strove to gain even terms with their inter-state rivals. Union Saved ‘A Hampton threat early in the second quarter was thwarted by the stalwart toe of Bill Parker. Af- ter the Seasiders had rushed and passed their way to within the shadow of the Union goal posts, the Panthers gained the ball on downs. Parker, called on to kick out of danger, responded nobly. His punt traveied high in the air and carried to his own 44-yard Jine where the Seasiders were given possession, Union's defense proved equal to the task of holding a determined bid of the opposition throughout the remainder of the period. At one time the Steel and Red War- riors appeared ready to break free with a man, A bullet-like pass from Sparky Campbell, Panther quarterback, was barely smeared as it tipped the fingers of Right-end Dan Brown. Page was on the smearing end of the pass. ‘A second incomplete forward pass preceded the sounding of the gun ending the half, Hampton 6, Union 0. Edward, Paige Star Hampton returned to the wars with Edwards, substituting for Hopson, bearing the brunt of the early running, Edwards, on a trek from his own 28-yard chalk, placed the oval on the dividing stripe. Paige was the chief cul- prit in the Panther mistreatment, snatched a pass from his centre and, on a single wing-back, spread- eagied to the Union 28-yard line. The jog was good for 30 yards. Here. however. the Richmonders again braced. Hampton pushed to the Steel and Red 11, but that was as far as they could advance. Union took the ball on downs. Two blocked kicks, one in the wanine minutes of the third period and the other at the opening of the final ovarter, failed’ to net the Blue and White’ more than the 2 points of a safety. Unions defense proved too much for the favored Hamnton offense. With 8 minutes remaining, White recovered a tlocke? punt behind his own goal line. He was immediate’y set up- on by Puryear. of Hampton, giv- inz the Seasiders an advantage of 80, Pirate Passes Ecore Not long after play had been resumed, Hampton scored again. A pass from Dismond to Starks, right end, placed the ball on the Union 33-yard marker. On the very next: play, Dismond again passed. This time his target was Paige and it was not a forwaré heave. Instead it was a shuffle back after faking a forward. Paige siung wide and fast around behinc his teammate and took the ball When he was finally stopped the Pirate war-horse had arrived al the Union 2-yard stripe. Edwards plunged through for the counter Dismond’s placement attempt wa: good for the extra point. Hamptor now led by a score of 15-0.

The picture is portrayed by such staring actors as Noonee Hudson, who made such a hit in 'imitation Of Life,' Henry Fonua, Jim Summerville, Edward Trevor; Russell Simpson, Andy Devine and Sara Haden. * The locale of the drama is New England, in the 1890's, and much of its action is centered about the warm of Russell Simpson, a stern, bigoted, righteous farmer. Unsuspectingly, his wife has permitted rochelle rhusson, whose past hides a tragic love episode, to work in her home, and the girl soon attracts the glances of their son, Henry Fonda. Through the seasons, the pastoral simplicity and beauty of New England life, the drama works its course. Finally, pilloried by malicious gossip, Miss Hudson flees from the home to lose her way on the river ice which is breaking up.

Republic Edward Arnold CLAUDE HOPKINS, LOCAL BOY APPEARS IN A SPECIAL FILM, "BY REQUEST" "Remember Last Night?" Where were you? What did you do? What did you see? What did you hear? Detective Danny Harrison pounds these questions at thirteen socially prominent Long Islanders the morning after the murder of Vic Huling. Thirteen blank, star- ing faces confront him, thirteen estounding but true alib's are given "I don't remember last night." And yet, there lay the murdered body of one of their group, the morning after the night of wild fun, with not one of them knowing a single thing about what happened after they had become deliriously drunk, nor whether or not they had committed the crime. The progressive part in "Remember Last Night?" which will be "A WOMAN'S VIEW OF THE NEWS" OR WROTE STORY OF "MARRIAGE ON AP Knows More Dirt Than Broadway Peeper Women Have Bared Their Hearts; Po to Be Shown at Dunbar Meet Priscilla Wayne—the Miss Walter Winchell of points West of Broadway. has received commer literary work hard. Shar's own Miss Wayne is a most extraordinary woman who has done extraordinary things in an extraordinary way. She appears human enough. She is married, has children of her own and looks exceedingly like the average matron of well-to-do means who minds her own business — which is to see that her family is well fed, well clothed and kept in good temper. But don't be deceived! She's all of these things and more — much more! She is a very successful writer — conducts and has conducted for almost two score years, in the Des Moines Register, a column known as "A Woman's View of the News." And she also is a "love-lorn" editor — to which, literally: tens of thousands of women have bared their hearts and very souls!

Gun-popping, knives flashing through the air, dancing and stolen kisses at a murder masquerade, kidnap threats written in Greek, false clues written in blood, a deserted graveyard, shrill-laughter turned to screams of horror and a hilarious progressive party that culminated in murder. And on the morning after, no one could remember the night before. One of the finest casts ever assembled makes its appearance in "Remember Last Night?" Edward Arnold, recently seen in "Diamond Jim," has the leading role—that of detective Danny Harrison. Others are Constance Cummings, Sally Eilers, Robert Young, Robert Armstrong, Reginald Denny and Jack LaRue. Claude Hopkins and his famous orchestra will also, be seen in a special Vitaphone act, entitled "By Request." Orlando Robeson and Tip, Tap, Toe, sensational dancers; are featured in this short.

She has just sold her story, "Marriage on Approval," to Monarch Films who have produced this best-seller and syndicated work with Donald Dillaway; Barbara Kent and Phyllis Barry in the musical roles. Praise of the film which is playing at the Dunhay Theatre, Thursday and Friday of next week, has been of a high type whoreover the picture has been down.

Issuing the second proclamation of his fourteenth year as grand exalted ruler of the Elks, J. Finley Wilson called upon the Civil Liberties League of the Elks to continue their drive against the injustices that are escaped upon the race. Contrast in National Status "While the old world is rent and torn with dissentions and war based upon the meanest passions of men, and the "mad man" of Europe continues to urge on the rape of ancient Ethiopia, slaughtering women and children, mercilessly and destroying the youth of his own land, we must be thankful that under wise and prudent leadership, peace reins in the United States. Peace will continue to rein only so long as we will it, as we must. Our war here is against evils in the public attitude toward law, order and justice both in human and property relations. "Vigilance and organization for the prosecution of suits under American law must proceed by means of our Civil Liberties Branches. Lawless elements of the nation continue to work their Nordic barbarism upon helpless victims of another color of the skin. Our call to duty is clear and loud, for under the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Universe, who has the final adjudication, we may move forward with trust," Wilson stated. Four New Lodges Reporting on the progress being made, the Elks' chief executive said that four new lodges had been set up this month: Fidelity, Seacaucus, N. J., under J. Mercer Burrell; Peconic, Greenport, L. I., under S. D. Walton; Twentieth Century, Fresno, California, under W. R. Wingfield, and Skyland Banner. Statesville, heaed by W. J. Murdock. Reinstatements were granted to four lodges: Sunrise, Mt. Olive, N. C.; George W. Lee, Windsor, N. C.; Twin Light, Atlantic Highland, N. J. and Reeds Lodge, Port Huron, Michigan. A home was dedicated at Gum Springs, Va., for Star of Bethlehem Lodge, November 9. Last month a home was dedicated at East Rock Lodge, New Haven Conn., the proclamation announced. Russell Honored James Russell, exalted ruler of Rubber City Lodge, Akron, Ohio, who won the $100 prize and became "King of Elkdom's Exalted Rulers" was crowned with befitting ceremonies, during the week of October 28. The occasion was one of the largest ever staged in Northern Ohio, Thomas E. Greene, chief antler of northern Ohio, was chairman, assisted by Leonard Foreman. The grand secretary, James E. Kelly, Commissioner of Education Judge William C. Hueston, Grand Trustee Brazil J. Bryant, and the grand exalted ruler were present. Sunday, December 8, was proclaimed as Memorial Day, when "Lodge of Sorrows will assemble in suitable places to recall the absent brothers and extoll their "I BEFORE you've driven a Ford a hundred yards, you notice the difference this V-8 engine makes: Its responsiveness and power have given over two million owners the type of performance which was previously only for the wealthy.

"Elks everywhere must feel the thrill of success when they view the results of their sacrifices and exertions in securing jury representation for members of our group in harmony with that majestic law which says, 'Right of trial by jury shall not be denied,' and that means a jury of a man's peers. Our next battle shall be along the lines of social security, for now more than 60 per cent of our employed members are not covered by state laws which dovetail with national legislation protecting us against the hazards of old age and unemployment. As yet no state, south of the Potomac, has made provision for the operation of that security, but most of the other states have done so, and one may rest content that the age of 60 or 65 will see his onerous duties ended and his living guaranteed by the state to which he has given the best years of his labor and citizenship."

HOMER L 1330 G The Theme of a group that fought the Cotton Club license renewal. Louis Gorgas, white, manager of the Cotton Club, has announced that he will close the place after December 1 when the liquor license expires. He has sold the Lunch-oonette, a acquaint to the club, to Frank Jones, an owner of the Republic Gardens, 1300 block of U Street. To Sell Bear, Wine Jones has made application for a license for beer and light wines. He stated that beverages will be beer and wine in the Luncheonette proper. In a statement to the Tribune, Wilkinson said his committee did not feel that the sale of beer and wine in the Louncheonte would bring about the same conditions that obtained in the night club. His group complained that neighbors in the vicinity of the club were kept awake at night because of the noise patrons made when leaving the club at early hours in the morning. Dancer Near Nude The Alcoholic Control Board also found the club management guilty of selling to persons already under the influence of liquor and selling liquor after closing hours. Amy Spencer, a fan dancer at the club, was arrested some time ago and charged with performing an indecent exhibition. Police-women claimed the dancer had little less that two fans to conceal her naked body. At times the police said, the fans were slow in crossing her body which resulted GLEY'S ARMINT PERFECT GUM FOR LASTS EVER EVERY MEAL Play Your instrument Cardion • Guitar • ombone • Cornet • ns • Xylophone • et • e Homer L.

Gorgas said he is negotiating for a location for his night club downtown. Whether he will use colored entertainers is not known. Over 90 per cent of the patrons at the Cotton Club were white. BORAH (Continued from Page 1) Even should such a law be passed and the Supreme Court uphold it Borah, would still consider it unconstitutional, he declared. He would also veto such a measure "should the unexpected and great honor come to me of being President." Letter Assails Senator White's letter bitterly assailed Borah and cited the many lynchings taking place since the Senate filibuster against it. Failure to enact this legislation was blamed partially for the wave of mobbings. Borah's stand against this bill was partly blamed for its not being passed. The Senator, in view of his reputed candidacy, was warned that 12,000,000 Negro voters may swing the election either way in such pivotal states as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky; Pennsylvania and Ohio. Borah, who evidently regarded White's charges as flappant, termed his letter "extraordinary." "When this legislation came before Congress in 1922, as a member of the judiciary committee, I was appointed chairman of a subcommittee to pass upon the constitutionally and feasibility of the measure. I spent much time in considering it. I read the debates which had taken place in the house and many briefs. I finally spoke and voted against the measure then I entertained, and now entertain, no doubt whatever that these measures both were in contravention to the plain terms of the Federal constitution. "That being my view then and now, I shall vote against such measures as long as I am a member of the Senate, and should the unexpected and great honor come to me of being President of the United States and such a bill should reach me, under my oath and in the light of my convictions, I would unhesitatingly veto it."

NOVEMBER 29. 1936 President Sends Letter of Praise to Judge A.W. Scott Washington Jurist Honored by High Government Officials and Local Business and Educational Leaders at Banquet at Whitelaw Hotel By G. JAMES FLEMING For Associated Negro Press President Roosevelt, Attorney General Homer Cummings, and Postmaster General James A. Farley, by letters, joined members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in paying formal tribute to Municipal Judge Armond W. Scott, at a testimonial banquet held here Saturday night at the Whitelaw Hotel, under the auspices of the Washington Alumni and Xi chapters of the Greek letter society. In response to the invitation extended to him, the Chief Executive wrote: two—was educated at Biddle (now Johnson G. Smith) University, and at Shaw, from which latter institution he received his bachelor of laws degree. He has practiced before the U. S. Supreme Court for 27 years.

Wilkinson, registrar; Thomas E. Hawkins, assistant head of men, Howard University; Dr. Henry Green, Atty. Louis Meh- "As I shall be away from Washington on the evening of November 23. I shall greatly appreciate it if you will extend my felicitations to Judge Armond W. Scott when you and your fellow members of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity gather around him at the testimonial dinner which you are arranging in his honor." Judge Scott was appointed to his position on May 27, after 37 years' practice of the law, and a vigorous, militant career in fighting for the rights of his race. He is directly under the Department of Justice. His chief, Attorney-General Cummings, wrote: Praised By Cummings "I am glad that the friends and associates of Judge Scott are tendering him this token of appreciation and esteem, and hope that it will prove very enjoyable. Please present to Judge Scott my best wishes for a very successful career on the bench, and to those who gather to do him honor my compliments and best wishes." Mr. Cummings added that he was "very sorry that I cannot be present on this occasion, as according to present plans. I shall not be in Washington." Mr. Farley wrote that he would be on the Pacific coast on the date of the banquet. "Please be assured, however, that I greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness in inviting me." The President and his cabinet members signed their letters personally. Mr. Roosevelt was in Warm Springs, Georgia, for his annual Thanksgiving visit, and Mr. Farley has been on the west coast in connection with the launching of regular airmail service between America and China. Other letters came from Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney-General, and from Judge James S.

Henry, of Philadelphia, was present and expressed feelings of 280,000 Negroes and many white people of Philadelphia who entertain the highest esteem for Judge Scott." Attorney Josiah Henry, one of the leading members of the Baltimore bar, brought the greetings of both the citizens and Kappa men of Baltimore. He lauded the municipal judge especially for the many times he had donated "his interest and his eloquence" to worthy causes in the Monumental City. "One of the most respected members of the bar, regardless of race," is the way George E. C. Hayes, practicing attorney and professor of the Howard University School of Law, described Judge Scott. "As far as Judge Scott is concerned," he continued, "he is deserving of the great honor conferred upon him. He is conducting himself in such wise on the bench that both, men who were for him and those who were against him enter his courtroom knowing that they will get a fair deal." Judge Scott Responds Judge Scott Responds Responding, the jurist extolled the "high ideals" of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, summed up in the word, "achievement." He told of the high purpose to which the organization was called and pointed to men like Frederick Douglass, Paul Laurence Dumbar, Booker T. Washington, and Judge Robert H. Terrell as men of the race who had lived lives idealizing this purpose. Judge Scott also repledged himself "to be first just and next courteous" in dealing with every person and issue which comes before him. Listening to the jurist were high ranking national officers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity: J. Oscar Dedman, vice junior grand polemarch, third highest office in the national organization; James E Scott, local realtor, a member of the grand board of directors, and Dr. Henry "Stud" Green, provincial polemarch.

BUDGET (Continued from Page 1) private, the speaker brought out, Death Rate Reduced Twenty-five years ago the Negro death rate was 39.2 per thousand throughout the nation at large. Negro youth had no organized athletic or recreational facilities. Seldom did one hear of Negro boys participating in feats of athletic skill. Today the general death rate has fallen to 16.8 and the whole nation takes pride in the unusual records of physical accomplishments of Negroes on track, on athletic field and in the squared circle, Dr. Jones pointed out. "Twenty-five years ago Negro illiteracy was 30.4 per cent. Now it is probably less than 15 per cent (it was 16.3 per cent in 1930) and we see such surprising records as a lower illiteracy among Negroes than among whites in such widely separated communities as Boston, New York City, Gary, Indiana, and Chicago—evidence of the environmental factor in group and individual intelligence. Forging Ahead "Twenty-five years ago there were practically no Negro world renowned or nationally known artists, actors or writers. Today our singers and actors appear on screen and radio and attract overflow audiences to our music halls and theatres and our writers and artists hold lucrative contracts with popular magazines and periodicals. "Twenty-five years ago a Negro in a legislative hall or in an administrative governmental position—federal, state or municipal—was a sport. Today with hundreds of such places of recognition we are impatient because the number is not much larger." Just think what a good time folks could have had 50 years ago if they could have bought a horse and buggy on the installment plan. The Tribune Now Twice Weekly. Tuesday and Friday.

The meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. The 1935 hospital drive was initiated this week for the raising of $15,000 as the year's goal toward the fund for the construction of a municipal hospital in Arlington County. The plan for the raising of the money is comparable to the Community Chest plan of Washington, D. C. Churches to Pledge At Sunday's meeting which will be presided over by the Rev James Green, pastor of the Mount Zion Church, the county churches eleven in number, will present their pledge toward the $2.142.86 which represents the pledge of the colored citizens of Arlington in proportion to the town's population. The present population is 35,000 of which 5,000 or one-seventh are Negroes, thus the pledged sum is one-seventh of the $15,000 goal. The 11 churches which have a total enrollment of 1900 persons, will present pledges according to their percentage of enrollment. Attorney To Speak Attorney Carleton K. Lewis, Arlington lawyer, will address the citizens. Others, who will take part in the program are Lorenzo Gaskins, the Rev. Carter Taylor and Mrs. Hermia Klinger. Dr. William H.

WEAVER (Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK—Assured of technique and confident of principles, tested and refined throughout a continuous period of twenty-five years, the National Urban League will continue along the same course of unequivocal, direct actionable leadership in a program designed to organize Negroes for an intelligent, factual; concerted presentation of the grievances that beset them T. Arnold Hill acting executive secretary, said in addressing a conference commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the league's existence, at the Russell Sage Foundation Building here Wednesday morning. Speaking on the subject, "Which Way after 1935?" Mr. Hill told the conference that the league will continue to place major emphasis upon economic conditions, pointing out the Negro masses and leaders alike, the points of attack upon economic inequalities. The adherence of Negroes to collective bargaining will be advocated and membership in progressive labor organizations will be advised, rather than obsolete and politically run formations. Workers' councils will be organized throughout the country in an intensive campaign to start on January first, Hill said, making every effort to have these councils pressure groups, "the impact of whose action will make itself a factor with which to reckon." Attention will be paid to State and Federal employment agencies where policies and practices are against the interests of Negroes, he told the conference, and special efforts will be put forth to bring about a permanent relief agency in Washington to take the place of emergency relief measures now in vogue. Mr. Hill served notice that a watchful eye will guard such measures as the Wagner Labor Bill, the Railway Labor Act, the Social Security laws and the Nati- I WONDER IF ANYTHING HAS HAPPENED TO JOHN?

Met. 9900 Agents to Be Paid onal Mediation Board, to see that they are administered fairly and without discrimination or prejudice. Declaring that the league cannot undertake its program alone, the acting executive secretary called upon "that group of business and professional men who have corraled neither their money nor their intelligence on behalf of these basic factors involved in the adjustment of race relations," to give their support. "It is with difficulty, that the National Urban League, with its prestige, its long years of service and practical program, can secure a thousand dollars from Negroes on any issue. The amount of money and the time consumed in raising such an amount equals in money the amount of cash received. "Our experience in getting the Emergency Advisory Councils for Negroes organized and from this group not a single penny has been asked—and in keeping them busy once organized, is a sad commentary on the willingness of Negroes to support a program which they themselves admit is necessary." Mr. Hill said. Following the address of Mr. Hill, the position of the league was discussed in relation to the Government and its social work program; developments in the labor movement regarding industrial, craft and company unions, workers' councils, rank and file groups; youth movements. The discussion was participated in by Elmer A. Carter, William M. Ashby; A. L. Foster, Lester B. Granger and Edward S. Lewis. A conference luncheon, held at the Parkside Hotel, 18 Gramercy Park, South, closed the conference. At the conference addresses were made by th very Reverend Monsignor Robert F. Keegan, president, National Conference of Social Work; Miss Henrietta Additon, former deputy police commissioner, New York City and Lieutenant Lawrence A.

It is too bad that the time of the Board of Education is taken up with so many trivial things, that it can not study education, as it vitally affects the life of the children, community and teachers for whom it is trustee. Could it do that, it would have discovered, long ago, that society educates each generation, and that the school is but the place for making socialization, quickly and forcefully, effective, as an agent of society. That does not mean the most vociferous or wealthy group, for investigation will show that the wealthy send their children to private schools to be taught how to continue their control of the masses. What the welty want is that buildings be built and supplies be purchased to provide their investments with steady income, not that the children of the masses be exposed to socializing influences. Did the Board of Education have the real function of such a body in modern society, it would see that text books gave fair representation to facts, and did not seek to make one class feel its superiority at the expense of others. Here in Washington, our children are taught nothing in their text books to lead them to appreciate the contribution of others to this American greatness. Nothing tells them of the Spanish, who were here a century before the English, or of Irish, German, Hungarian and above all, of African contribution to America. Children in our schools are not told that a man of African descent helped to plan Washington or that another one placed the bronze statue of Freedom on the dome of the Capitol. Just as they neglest to tell how Roman influences formed the basic law of our "Rights of Man," and how Dutch life influenced our homes and architecture, as did Spanish, so they fail to say how words are in our language from early African influence and heroism is in our patriotic records from Americans of African descent. No child, reading Muzzy's history, even a child in schools for colored children, would know that Negroes were militiamen against the Indians, in colonial days, or that others were at Lexington and Concord, or that others voted for the adoption of the Constitution. Thousands of dollars are spent to teach American history, supposedly, from the angle of the "American People," but really to the glory of the English People, and their descendants, who compose the majority of the lynchers and mob actionists, and attackers upon the Constitution today, when it interferes with their method of making money. It begins to appear that, if the text books present a truth they are subject to attack, but if they distort it they are acceptable. Who selects text books, anyway? Do the teachers, who know what is in them, or does somebody, who is interested from some other angle? Why not let us hear from the teachers as to the merits of the text books they must use? Why not let us hear from our own Board members on text books, we must expect our children to study? Is this free text book prileges, as a Grecian horse? Why does not our parent-teacher clubs look into this matter? Writer says few people can stand up at a mirror, look themselves in the eye and feel right about it. Enland has bounced 20 American chorines, furnishing the world's greatest testimonial to American beauty. Says nothing is to be gained by attacking real friends.

Borchardt, leading labor teacher of Washington, and the United States, because she did not vote for Mr. Davis's resolution against discrimination in the A. F of L. I have high regard and admiration for Mr. Davis's ability and his earnest endeavor to benefit his race group economically and socially. I have not talked with Miss Borchardt and I therefore do not know about the particular resolution. However, I would not be decept, if as representative of the most conspicuous Negro local in the American Federation of Teachers, I did not say that Miss Borchardt is in no way indebted to Negro teachers. Up to now she has needed nothing of them, and they have given nothing but appreciation of a valiant unselfish spirit, and support of such recommendations of hers (as legislative representative of the Teachers' Federation) as we deemed right. Her beneactions toward us are innumerable. Her efforts for race justice have been numerous, and of such character as to lose effectiveness by publicity. I have no brief for A. F. of L. injustices toward Negroes. There are however, some advance steps being made. We do not have to agree on methods of breaking down race barriers in the labor movement, as long as we agree they must go. Nothing is to be gained, however by attacking our real friends. I am convinced that to get into the A. F. of L. or other labor groups wherever we can, to create understanding and friendship, to measure up to and beyond the requirements of efficiency will be our most effective measures in "crashing the gates."

A Great Woman Passes In the death of Mrs. Curtis, we lose a factor in the life of the community and the group that must be replaced, if some young woman will catch the spirit and assume the mantle. Mrs. Curtis, coming here from the West, brought activity, courage, intelligent social insight, and yet preserved that maternal hold of the real, true mother. She represents just what American civilization means to develop out of its freedom of women. Mrs. Curtis was actually the "First Lady of Our Washington," for she did not sit and smile in condescension upon those who might be holding positions subordinate to that held gy her husband, but like the charming and social force of Mrs. Roosevelt, her life was spent in working from the high plane her husband's place in society gave to her. Her influence among the life-problems of the masses in this city will never be known, for she was more interested in "the day's work" than in having it praised. As to her activity, as a mother of sons, she reminds us of that world-famous Roman matron, the mother of the Gracchi, who, gave her sons to the State, with the words, "These are my jewels." She accomplished, what so few mothers, among us, seem to do; She held the respect of her sons, despite the social distractions of the age, and held it as their counselor and friend, not merely as a sentimental "mama" of infancy, so often characetizing the relation of the boy and his mother. Washington has suffered a great loss. "I haven't any doubt that this country is very largely Republican. Mr. Roosevelt could not have been elected without Republican votes.

The School Board and Text Books Strange how excited our servants become when some persistent force criticises them, yet how inactive they are in the face of long-standing abuses. The threat of Communism, as a source of revolution, has so upset those who have acquired great wealth and power, through the existing system, and its past political aids to their accumulation of wealth and power, that they have dragged a red herring across the trail of reform. They have raised the cry of teaching Communism. It is an old trick, and is used in every social crisis. Men in all ages have paid others to raise false alarms to get the minds of the people away from actual issues. They charged Christ with inciting rebellion against the Roman government, when in reality, He was teaching the only real communism. "Bear ye one another's burdens." He did that in the midst of a system, verily like that of today, for the Romans were on relief, while the rich, who occupied the Senate, bought supplies from foreign colonies, who were forced, under military force, to raise cheap goods. Roman legions conquered, and Roman consuls governed in behalf of the Roman rich, but the masses were kept anaesthetized by free food and free entertainment. High churchmen, who lived by the tolerance of the rich, saw in Christ's teaching a danger to the continuance of their fat, easy income, hence, they incited betrayal and the masses were inflamed to seek His death. Russian Communism is nothing like that system which Christ taught, except in spirit, for it is basically economic, and Christ saw that the economic system was but a slave, and not the master. Man, in his whole life, made glorious Our Readers' Opinions MARY MASON JONES, President of Washington Teachers Union. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1935 The instances of the Jew in Germany and of the Negro in America furnish the most interesting laboratory on race relations to be found in the world today. In America the two races are separable by distinction of high visibility; in Germany the racial discriminant is below visibility. There is no color line to justify German race antipathy. The Jew and the German have been in contact for a thousand years with every semblance of amicable adjustment. But, presto! all of a sudden, as if in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Teuton's racial intolerance breaks out in uncontrollable fury. Hitler's keen dictatorial acumen instinctively sensed the need of a rallying cry around which he could arouse the whole nation. Appeal to racial sensibility is a most powerful social dynamic. The Hymn of Hate is easily sung by the Germans who look upon themselves as God's chosen people. Looking around for an object on which to vent his Teutonic spleen, he saw the Jewish race as Abraham saw a ram caught in the thickets by his horns, which he offered up as a sacrifice to appease the demon of race hatred. HITLER THRIVES ON RACE HATRED The world was amazed at the spontaneity and suddenness with which Hitler was able to inject the virus of race hatred into the veins of the whole German people. Although Germany is perhaps the most orthodox Protestant nation in Europe, yet amidst all of this breathing out of hatred and slaughter against a defenseless race no single voice of carrying power and Christian conviction has been raised against this un-Christian barbarity. What Germany has done to the Jew might be easily duplicated by any Nordic nation in Europe should the occasion arise for arousing the people by appeal to their racial sensibilities. The Ku Klux Klan in America made such an abortive attempt, which failed for a leader of Hitler's daredevil recklessness. The forms in which race prejudice express itself against the Jew in Germany run on all fours with that against the Negro in America, from which students of the world-wide race problem may learn lessons of deep significance and far reaching consequences. In America race prejudice takes several legalized forms. (1) the marriage bar, (2) separate schools, (3) separate cars, (4) limitation of political rights and civic privileges. Hitler has forbidden intermarriage between Jew and Aryan, set up separate schools for the Jewish race and made the Jew a subject rather than a citizen of the Reich. He holds himself in readiness to decree whatever further forms of distinction and discrimination his imperious will might suggest. He has not yet set up traveling facilities, or jim crow cars as we call them in America, for the specific reason that the Jewish contingent, constituting barely one per cent of the population, is not sufficiently numerous to justify such distinction in public conveyances. There are sundry other modes of distinction and discrimination to which the Negro in America is subjected which have not been legalized. America contends that race prejudice against the Negro is due to his inferior education, culture and concrete achievements. On the other hand, Hitler frankly simplifies the matter by basing the distinction bluntly on racial grounds, although the Jew occupies a level of attainment and distinction above the average German GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS INTOLERANCE There is this vital distinction, Hitler has decreed that proscription against the Jew is a Government function and its execution must not be assumed by the individual but by the Government. In America, especially in the South, every white man arrogates to himself the monitoring over the behavior of the Negro and assumes the right to chastise any member of the race who transgresses the border line of race distinction set up and sanctioned by the community. It is this racial arrogance and assumption which lies at the basis of lynching where an individual, or group of individuals, take the law in their own hands in wrecking vengeance upon the Negro who commits offense against the person and dignity of any member of the white race. In Germany no Jew is allowed to hire an Aryan female under thirty-five years of age as a household domestic. The plain object is to prevent the Hebrew male from exerting authority and persuasive influence over Aryan womanhood. The same disposition manifests itself in America. A Jewist proprietor has been jailed for kissing an Aryan girl in his employ although she acknowledged her willingness to receive his advances. All such intimacy across the race line is considered a racial rather than individual insult, of which the Government itself takes cognizance. Hilter's avowed purpose is to preserve the purity of the Aryan race, free from further intermixture of Jewish blood. The Nordic method in this respect differs fundamentally from that of the Latin or Southern European races. With the Nordic, wherever he is found, offspring between the white man and the non-white woman is relegated to the lower class of the mother's status. Whereas with the Latin or Southern Europeans such offspring is given the father's status. The result of the first method is to mix inferior race while keeping the superior race pure; whereas the effect of the latter is to mix the superior race while keeping the inferior race pure. Which of these methods will best solve the race problem in the long run is a matter of dispute and speculation. DUAL STANDARD TOLERATED HERE In America the white male is disposed to take advantage of the colored female with impunity free from legal or social responsibility. This procedure gives the white male and the colored female a free range in their lascivious indulgence. But condign and drastic punishment is imposed upon the white female and the black male whose sexual inclination crosses the color line. According to Hitler's decree an Aryan male and a Jewish female have both been imprisoned for one year for illicit relationship, on the ground that they had both offered an insult to the Aryan race. No Southern state in American has allowed its racial antipathy to go to this extent. America is prone to condemn Germany for outbreaks of racial ruthlessness against the Jew. But the American pot cannot call the German kettle black without expecting a disconcerting retort Observations on the Passing Parade BY CHARLES M. THOMAS Observations on the Passing Parade BY CHARLES M. THOMAS Every man has some philosophy back of his life, whether he realizes it or not; just as ancients had their gods to whom they ascribed the power behind their success or failure, such as Baal for the agricultural peoples and Jehovah for the traders who needed the idea of sacred contracts or covenants. Thus today, the business-minded look to money, profit or property as the god of life, while the more imaginative think of human rights and social relations between men. Those two ideas clashed at the dawn of our national history and compromise was the result. Starting with the abstract rights of man we got the trend toward freedom, but the concrete right of property soon geared control. It was just 13 years from the Declaration of Independence based upon tre former philosophy, to the Constitution prescribing the latter. The Bill of Rights was forced by the voters. Because of this clash, we find laws in all 13 original states except Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia, granting the right of franchise "to free men," without distinction as to color. In 1810, however, Maryland joined the group of exclusives, and by 1850, it was general, and remained so until the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. Flushed with victory, the imaginative element again ushered in a reign of human rights, but beginning with a veto by Andrew Jackson, here in Washington, property rights objected to votes in the hands of those who did not have property. Even when Congress finally enacted a form of government for the District and liberally enfranchised the colored citizen, local people fought for its defeat, and they lost the right to vote themselves. Then as now, the records show the business men of Washington wanted appropriation by Congress, but did not want the colored people to vote. Corporations as Chief Beneficiaries of War Despite the fact that the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted primarily to secure to the Negro in America the full benefit of his old aid in the Civil War and to protect him against "Black codes" which had been placed upon statute books in the former slave-holding states, again it was property that reaped the rewards. The slogan, "In union there is strength," was translated into corporate organizations of shares bought by many individuals, and complacent courts soon found such corporations to be "persons." Courts also looked with just favor upon their conduct as had been contemplated by those who were moved by human rights for the colored American. Thus again property won against rights of man.

Tribune Reader Writes on "Teaching the Illiterates" Tribune Reader Writes on "Teaching the Illiterates" It is absurd to say that old people can't learn, or in slang, "We can't teach an old dog new tricks." It is unreasonable to think that the mind ceases to function after it reaches a certain age as to think that a mountain can eat. Why should a person's brains be of such material that when he becomes 50 or 60 years old that they are unable to take in valuable things. If these assertions are true then life would cease. Life would not extend any longer that the age of misinformed critics. These accusations on the minds of individuals have been proven false. They are of unsound reasoning on the part of the so-called critic. They are unfounded and illogical. These so-called critics are among the illiterates and need to be trained. They are more illiterate than the person that cannot read or write. Illiteracy is a very broad term To the Editor: Here, as in the case of the District of Columbia, the poor or propertyless whites suffered as much as did the colored men, but prejudice was fanned and kept them apart until the growth of corporations into trusts or combines, caused another revulsion, and Theodore Roosevelt providentially came into leadership against them. His "all men up and no man down" and "The open door of opportunity for every man who keeps the law," merely curtailed the power of property for a spell, and secured what is known as "progressive legislation" in some fields of American life. Because property interests never sleep and continually draw sustenance as "interest" day and night, they only appear to lose victory. Neglecting the Negro by whom it had continued in power through dividing the propertyless white and black, control passed to Woodrow Wilson with his cry of "New Freedom." He aimed to clean house, and the occurrence of the World War found the same property interest ready and active in assuming control in its own behalf. This time it became universally international and left the world as begged as Egyptian captains of industry had left the Felletahs, the Roman Senate had left Roman citizens the House of Stuart left Englishmen, and when the last French kings had stripped their subjects. Again Americans turned to the rights of man, and Franklin Roosevelt caused a maze of correlated legislation to be enacted so as to close every rat hole through which the wealth of the people might be withdrawn. At the same time he placed upon the statute books of the general government, and invited co-operation from the states, a series of lwrs looking to the actual protection of those very same rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness upon which the country was founded. No wonder we hear, "Back to the Constitution!" Thus in five generations we are back where we started, but only after a bitter experience and the loss of untotaled billions of property held by those who have steadily pursued "the concrete aim of life" as against "the rights of men." There stands between the ideals of American society and its realization nothing but courts. Already the highest tribunal, like the old Roman Augurs, who used to examine the entrails of a pigeon to discover which way they shoul decide, has shown here in America, by the entrails of a chicken, that it is inclined toward "property rights as they have been exercised." The question remains unanswered: "What do we mean by progress?" Voters alone may answer it. CHRISTMAS 1935 and applies not only to the person who can not read or write, but to those who are untrained in other important things. A person may not be able to read or write but he may be well trained in a trade, or he may have greater knowledge in, how to care for his family. Thus, he may be an illiterate in one way and trained in other ways. It is to this end that the teachers in adult education must fight illiteracy. They must fight it from all angles. Adult Education is the training of persons after the compulsory school age. Training them to better understand life; training them to fight their economic battles better; teaching them to use the things they have to a better advantage; helping them to get enjoyment out of the everyday chores; to see flowers, to smell their sweet fragrance and at the same time to know how they grow. Adult education is divided into many branches. They are, sewing, domestic services, electricity, stenoghaphy and typewriting, printing, gardening and cleaning premises, home management and BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The revolting details of Italian atrocities in Ethiopia are beginning to filter through to the outside world. An Associated Press dispatch reports: "An official Ethiopian communique charged today that soldiers of Italy's invading armies 'have entered convents and violated the young sisters.' The communique, which said some of the alleged assaults on women at Adowa, Aksum, Adigrat and other occupied cities will shock the conscience of the civilized world, added: 'Some of the Italian soldiers are violating even the wives of Ethiopian priests.' At the persuasion of monks, the communique continued, natives are deserting the Italian-occupied cities, and fleeing to the desert rather than submit to the Italian outrage. War brings suffering and cruelty in its train. This war, however, which was launched with the avowed purpose of bringing "civilization" to an alleged "barbarous people," might be expected to be kept near the humane plane in its prosecution, if Mussolini expects any sympathy whatsoever, even from his own controlled priests. The Catholic Church, having blessed the African campaign, must now witness the desolation of Christian men and women at the point of the sword she upholds. ITALIAN ATROCITIES SCOTTSBORO VICTORY With the calling of a Negro juror in the Scottsboro case, the race won the five-year fight for judicial reform in Alabama. When the case was first called, Alabama scorned the very idea of a Negro sitting on the Scottsboro jury. But with two reversals by the Supreme Court of the United States, Alabama paused in its mad effort to railroad these boys to the electric chair. Even the most prejudiced whites concluded they might as well face the inevitable and recognize the existence of Negro citizens who were intelligent and paid taxes. But the spirit that caused this five years of wrangling and bitterness is not dead. Even now we hear the Old South muttering through its teeth in the editorial correspondance of John Temple Graves 2nd of Birmingham writing to the New York Times, a newspaper which did much by its policy of fairness to expose the shamelessness of the Southern judicial system, Mr. Graves says: "Southern lawyers with whom this writer has discussed the situation are convinced that the now apparently South-wide practice of placing the names of Negroes on jury rolls is legally faithful to the point made by the United States Supreme Court last April, and that their continuing absence from actual juries is something against which there can be no recourse at law now." This comment reveals that the old anti-Negro spirit, where manhood rights are concerned, is not dead. Mr. Graves continues: "There is no doubt of the fact that Negroes are just about as successfully and consistently excluded from jury duty in this part of the South today as they were before the Supreme Court's decision. And there are enough legal loopholes and human ingenuities on hand to keep them excluded apparently for a long time to come." It is too bad these "human ingenuities" cannot be utilized in a more constructive way than is proposed by Mr. Graves. It seems useless to point out that it is this type of low thinking that is holding even the white South down NEED OF PLAYWRIGHTS Warren Coleman, who plays the role of Crown in the Gershwin opera, "Porgy and Bess," now current on Broadway in New York, sees the future of the Negro actor hanging on the development of Negro playwrights. Says Mr. Coleman, who studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, and whose play, "Juba," is now in rehearsal in Boston: "The theatre has been a precarious place for the Negro in the past. Plays for Negroes have been few, and the Negro actor has not had enough steady employment to give him the the regular grade work. These classes are led by a group of efficient teachers. Teachers who have had experience in such work. They are rendering a great service not only to their students but to the community and the country as well. To teach the illiterate the teacher must face many problems. They must go into the undersirable neighborhood. They must face all kinds of weather and on reaching their place to hold classes often find that there is no fire. Cold and wet, they must go on. They must face the problems of people not having clothing and have often donated clothing. They have contacted rent agents to have repairs made on the houses. They have caused the case workers of persons on relief to take a new insight of the case. They have helped to rebuild nopes, and have caused the student to turn over a new leaf. The teacher of illiterates have acted as advisors. They have acted as nurses, errand boys, business managers, gardeners, and legal advisors. They have adopted for their slogans— Go on, go on go on. Go on, go on go on. Go on, go on go on. Go on, go on go on. Thomas B. Brier opportunity to grow. Unfortunately, few of the literary figures which my race has produced have gone in for the drama. We have had splendid poets and fine novelists. We must have great playwrights, too, then the Negro will take his proper place in the theatre." The fact that Mr. Coleman gave this interview to a leading New York Sunday newspaper shows sympathy and support will be forthcoming from the best element of the theatrical world for the Negro playwright, Langston Hughes' drama, "Mulatto," while an unpleasant theme, is already demonstrating that Broadway will support plays by Negro writers. Mr. Coleman was right in not minimizing the work of white writers who have attempted to portray with dignity and sincerity the life of the Negro in dramatic form. In the same interview he said: "It is not often that one finds people outside the race who understand the Negro as does George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward. In 'Porgy and Bess' they have caught the spirit of the race. Theirs is a serious and dignified approach to the subject, and I am proud to have had some small part in the creation of the first real American folk opera an opera dealing with my people." KENTUCY SOLON Charles W. Anderson is the first colored man elected to the Kentucky Legislature. Now a Border solon has been added to the growing number from the North and East. The Kentucky victory is a sign and a promise Jim crow starts at Louisville and travels to the Gulf. In all that vast land, of lovely climate and studded with agricultural opportunities, and where the majority of Negroes live, and may continue to live, civic and social opportunity is at its lowest ebb But civic and social opportunity proceed, really, from the State Capitols, where the laws are made. Until Negroes become a part of the governing bodies of the several Southern states, they will remain the serfs and despicable creatures that they have been for so many years. The Anderson victory points the way to the higher life which our increasing education dictates that we must live. Let us take heart and push steadily ahead for more gains on the civic front in the south, where such gains mean so much to our group. POPE AGAINST SANCTIONS His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, not content with blessing the Italian in vasion of Ethiopia, has had his representatives approach the French and British governments "in an attempt to have the economic pressure against Facist Italy relieved," according to Sonia Tomara, Rome correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, "Acting at the eleventh hour," continues the report, "four days in advance of the going into effect of economic sanctions voted against Premier Benito Mussolini's government as a means of forcing it to give up its war of aggression against Ethiopia, the Holy See has called the attention of Paris and London to the serious consequences which it foresees from the projected boycott of Italian goods. In the view of the Vatican, the peace of Europe may be endangered if the League persists in its program to compel II Duce to abandon his Ethiopian campaign. Vatican circles believe that if economic sanctions are enforced with much vigor they may have to be followed by economic and military sanctions, and that this would bring European war." Right here we see how easily Christian principles and tenents may be distorted and even ignored when the material side of life is important. We see the head of the great Catholic Church forgetting that "man is his brother," even to the Ethiopians, and showing great concern only about "white men." As a Christian, it is "white Europe" he wants to have and not "black Ethiopia." How do American Catholics, who are attempting to recollate Negroes, explain this? The... Readers' Corner By C.

C. — The recital of Ethel Wise, coloratura soprano and Bernard Lee Mason, violinist, at A and T. College on Sunday afternoon, before a capacity house, was highly appreciated and most of the numbers acclaimed with round after round o fapplause. The work of Julia Young Sessons at the piano, was highly commendable. Miss Wise is a native of Washington. Miss Wise did her best work in Indian Bell Song from "Lakme," by DeJibes, in French and in the spirituals, "I don't feel no ways spirituals," "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired," "On the Other Side of Jordan" and "Talk About a Chile"; while Mr. Mason did exceptional work in the playing of the movements "Allegro Moderate" and "Andante No Tropee" from cantata in D Minor by Wintersi certe in a Manor by Wrenmansk. Miss Wise sang groups in French, demonstrating her ability to enunciate the most difficult phrases with facility and beauty. Her voice, soft and mellow, at all times, was almost perfect in her coloratura work, especially noted in the singing of "Les Filles de Cadiz" by Delibes. Gay Reception Held For Miss Geraldine Wiggins Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wiggins held a reception in honor of the daughter's birthday. The reception was held at their residence 436 Canal Street, Southeast, last Friday. Miss Geraldine Gale Wiggins, for whom the reception was sponsored, recently arrived from New York, where she spent her summer vacation. Miss Wiggins was charmingly attired in an evening gown of black velvet, revealing a slight touch of red chiffon at the neckline. This gown was designed and presented to her by her sister, Mrs. Ethel Blue of New York City. In the center of the decorated room was a long table of the Victorian period, beautifully arranged in green, white and pink. A beautiful cake of white, trimmed in green, adorned the center of the table. The cake was cleverly designed to give the impression of the Leaning Tower of Babylon, with eighteen candles on the extreme top. A large contingent of the younger set was present in the latest fashions. Miss Josephine Williams looked exceptionally gorgeous in a gown of French tan crepe with a collar of changeable taffeta. Many gifts were received. Guests present were: Misses Josephine Williams, Rose Wood, Clara Evans, Frances Smith, Vivian Cole, Dorothy Morgan, Evelyn Sims, Mary Frances Wiggins, Merrill L.

How which He has bestowed upon them. Dinners, teas, card parties, dances and other forms of activities were in progress all over the city during the week-end. The Bachelor-Benedict Club, composed of many of Washington's professional and business men, started festivities off with a most pleasurable open costume dance on Tuesday night. Under the soft amber lights, the hall was transformed into a fairy land with figures flitting here and there, dressed in stunning and unique costumes of every description. Choruses from the public schools, Howard University and the conservatory of music will take part. The Odd Card Whist Club has added another member to their roster, in the person of Edward Jones. Mr. Jones, considered an ace card player, is a welcome addition to the club. The barn dance given by the Mu-So-Lit Club on the following night (Wednesday) was quite informal and indeed enjoyable. Full details will be given next week. Quite a large number of persons left after the dance for Atlantic City, to attend the Howard-Lincoln game. As predicted, the folks in Atlantic City are turning things tonsy-turvy in preparation for a gala week-end. Invitations were received this week from Mrs. Sara Spencer Washington, owner of the Apex Beauty, Culture Laboratories in many of the larger cities and one of the leaders in social activities in Atlantic, stating that she would be at home to her many friends from Thursday to Sunday evening. In addition, Mrs. Washington sends a most swanky bid for a dawn dance given by her on Friday morning from one to five o'clock, at All Wars Memorial Building. It sounds quite interesting, doesn't it? Of course, this is only typical of the way Mrs. Washington "does things." It will be remembered that a broadcast of the game year before last was sponsored by her, followed by a dawn dance at which time chicken breakfasts were served to all guests. Oceans to Sara! Other affairs scheduled for afternoon and evening promise to be most enjoyable. ****** On last Saturday night, the Kappa men gathered in the beautifully appointed Whitelaw Hotel dining room to give honor to one of their members, the Hon. Judge Armond W. Scott, recently appointed judge of the Municipal Court. With such a group of talkers and speech-makers present, it is no wonder that many of the group elected to transfer all unfinished debates to the C.P.C. for completion after the wee hours. Judge Scott is serving admirably on the bench and indicates his intention and desire to uphold the faith and confidence which his many friends have in him. Sunday afternoon was a "redletter" day for Columbia Lodge No. 85, of the L.B.P.O.E. of W., when the public acceptance program of the remodelled and enlarged home was held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The home was crowded to its capacity and a most elaborate program was given, with Capt. Sylvester H. Epps as master of ceremonies. The home, since the revocation, is quite pretty and stands as a monument to the co-operative efforts of the many committees and their workers who have toiled so faithfully to raise money to put this project over.

Girl Reserves Hold Annual Ceremonial PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men The annual ceremonial of the Girl Reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. was held at Lincoln Temple, Sunday, at the morning service.

The following committee members led the girls in the pilgrimage: Mrs. Ethel Just, chairman; Mrs. Carlene Austin, Miss Greekie Duffin, Mrs. Florence Holman, Miss Fannie Offutt. Mrs. J. W. Threlk And so the Bachelor-Benedict Dance is over. The last, low strain of "Home, Sweet Home" is now an echo. The lovely fairyland (reminiscent of China, with its gay-colored lanterns and symbols, its climbing flowers and swinging parasols) is now a pretty memory. The hundred or more members of the club (among them Washington's proudest professional, business and non-business men) have gone their sleepy way happy in the knowledge that they have given their many friends something to fondly remember them by. The last lucky guest is safe again at home with this hope topmost in his mind: "May the Bachelors never omit my name from their future mailing lists." "Twas an enjoyable hour indeed. Mr. Harold Haynes, the Bachelor-Benedict president, looked splendid in long dark trousers, white satin blouse and rich red velvet sweat. And a genial "Giad to see you" expression beamed about his face. Mr. Fred Wilkinson, the secretary-treasurer of the club wore a Tuxedo, (probably in compliment to the pretty-haired Maggie (his wife) who was resplendent in black with silver trimming. Mrs. Angela Bishop caught a lot of eyes with his captain costume (fitted bodice, full skirt, and fachu, berurfied palloons and everything Madame Evanti was a grand Spanish lady in silver sleeve and velvet. And ever so often she cast pretty bright eyes over the edge of her be-jewelled fan to show how much she enjoyed the attention so many seemed eager to pay her. The J. Flipper Derricottes wore riding attire (and the former Elise Palmer should really wear 'em often). There were Hinds in the crowd too. And among them were Howard Law School's Dean, William Taylor. Mr. Edward Howard and Mrs. Pearl Flipper. Mrs. Ruth Osborne Davis had white orange blossoms spread all over a green and satin Chinese suit. Mrs. Mamie Simmons made a cunning Hula Hula girl. Mrs. Thelma Hamilton Delaney in a sort of glorified "Patent Leather Kid" outfit made your partner step all over your toes while he tried to get a good look at Thelma. Dr. and Mrs. "Chick" Williams made a happy coupl, of Spaniards. There was a young thing too in shorts and plain white shirt. Can't recall her name or even her face. The truth is I was doing the same thing you were (watching the girl's pretty figure). Dr. "Bob" Wilson was a jolly Chinaman. Dr. Clark Carson (looking ever so Spanish) his wife (in overalls), Mrs. Alfred Smith and one or two others felt the urge to practice a brand new dance. They needed extra space, of course. So they went down stairs to the main corridor and "trucked" Others seen in the gay throng were all around to their heart's cont Mr. and Mrs. Louia Vaughn Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton Martin, Judge Armond Scott, Judge and Mrs. W. Hueston, Dr. Thompkins (in riding togs), Mr. and Mrs. Talley Holmes, she a smiling Senorita, Dr. J. L. Davis, Miss Emily Minor, Mrs. Frankie Crowder; Mrs.—but to list all the "Who's Who" present would take more minutes than I have.—So well anyway the memorable occasion is over. And there's only one thing that's worrying some of us now. It's this: "How in the world will the Bachelor-Benedicts ever be able to have a "closed" affair?" For, when they announce their very next dance, friends who can't forget the joys of last Tuesday evening, will want to rush pell-mell to the appointed place without waiting to firmly determine whether it's to be an "open" affair or a "closed" one. And you really couldn't blame 'em if they did.

Mr. Manuel Roque, formerly of New York and Chicago and prominent among the New Deal-ers has piled up a long list of friends in his short three-year stay in the Capital. There seems always something for Mr. Thomas Thomas, of 1021 New Jersey Avenue, to be happy about. He marched to the tune of Mendelssohn not so many seasons ago and the smile he acquired at the time is with him this very minute. And, as if having a nice new bride around were not enough, Mr Thomas got the news the other day that his pretty daughter, Gladys (of the Music Department of Bennett College. North Carolina) had been touring Michigan and Canada with the Bennett College quartet. Little Miss Louise Russell, warm and cunning in a brown fur-trimmed coat and looking ever so much like her school teacher Dad, accompanying her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell to the movies the other evening. Word comes from St. Paul, Minn. that Mrs. Wildred Salvant (who was much feted during her stay in the Capital last winter) won't reach town in time for Mr. Turkey's proud debut on Thanksgiving Day tables, but on the Monday or Tuesday following, when the last bit of flesh has left Sir Gobbler's carcass and found its way into hash or stew, and his broken old bones are simmering low in soup, Mrs. Salvant will surely be on hand. (And so will Mr. Salvant.) Mr Stephen Bluit, well-known man about town crossing U Street, near "Theatre Row" and four pair of feminine eyes watching him as he did it. From where we sit it looks like the many Washington friends of Mrs. Vivian J. Cook of the Baltimore schools are in for a dissappointment. They'll be wanting to ask that lovely lady to their early December affairs and she'll be so busy making way for the Philomathians she'll surely have to send "regrets." The proud Baltimore (and Washington) Club numbers among its members Mrs. Willa C. Mayer, Mrs. Vashti Murphy, Mrs. Rosa Hampton, Miss Vashti Maxwell, Mrs. Jeannette Boyer, Mrs. Lillian Brown and many others. And every one of them is wishing November minutes would fly by faster, for on the evening of the seventh day of December they will be the guests of Mrs. Cook. One of the times when we've wanted a kodah and found none around was the other day when we caught a glimpse of Mrs. Octavia C. Weddington, of 19 Quincy Place, standing in her doorway, charmingly dressed in green smiling goodly to her callers who appeared reluctant to leave It isn't ermine, mink, or even chinchilla (I know those furs when I see 'em. Got acquainted with 'em during frequent window-shopping tours, and the way things look today I'll never know anything else about 'em) but every single stitch of the pretty brown "fur" on a smart coat owned by Miss Ocean Powell, of Deanwood, was crocheted by the slim, sweet lady herself. Mrs. Oliver McDonald, whose garden won a prize in a "Better Homes and Garden" contest that was conducted out pretty Blaine way last summer (Capital Heights) opened the back door of her handsome home one night to show her guests the garden. Instantly a whiff of soothing cedar-permeated air greeted the lucky visitors, and they wished right then and there that they could bottle every cubic inch of it up and take it back to the busy city. But (and here's the point in the story). Try as desperately as she could to figure out the reason for the unusual cedar-in aroma, at least for several moments Mrs. McDonald was entirely at a loss. Finally one of the guests spied a pile of fresh-cut cedar logs prepared, perhaps, for the McDonald fireplace and which the happy hostess had forgotten all about. So now, if you come across Mrs. B's husband or maybe her hired man wheeling cedar logs homeward you'll know that Mrs. B herself was among the McDonald visitors on the fragrant night above mentioned, and that she had hurried home firmly determined to go and do likewise. Slim Mrs. Ethel Lowrey, of Washing and Fushing, Long Island in the shopping district the other day. That means that she going to have a new—but she looked plenty sharp to us in the plain brown tweeds she was wearing.

(of which the charming Camille is the popular president) won't hold its 17th annual session in Detroit. Michigan until August 23, 1936. But at least one whole month ago Miss Nickerson began a campaign to boost attendance by commissioning Mrs. Mollie Moore, well-known resident of Pasadena, California to aid in the roundup of Golden West musicians.

Oklahoma's "Scottsboro Case" Attracts Nation's Attention Case, Reversed by United States Court on Jury Exclusion, Has Dragged for Four Years; Editor Dunjee Active Five College Presidents on Shaw University Anniversary Program Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, Sounds Keynote Address in Opening of Celebration at Raleigh, N.C. (Rocose Dunge, editor of the Black Dispatch, of Oklahoma City, Okla., who has thrown so much weight behind the Jess Hollime case, nation alliance member, former bureau case," has begun a campaign in behalf of the prisoner, hence, we give you the story of the case up to the present as it appears in the current that paper.—Bd.) OKLAHOMA CITY, OKla. December 2 has been set by the district court of Okmulgee county for the retrial of Jess Hollins, Creek county Negro, who in 1931 was arrested at Slick, Oklahoma, in Creek county, and charged with rape on the person of Alta McCullom, white girl. New Counsel Hollins, now in the state penitentiary, where he has been incarcerated since the trial in February 1934, held in Okmulgue, will be represented by attorneys employed by the state branches of the N. A. A. C. P. The firm of Wheeler and Brown, and Attorney Cecile E. F. Robertson, all of Muskogee, will defend Hollins. This firm represented Charlie Miller, Muskogee bellhop, who was recently released from custody following a hung jury and the belief of the Muskogee county that there was insufficient evidence to convict. U. S. Remands Hollins, whose case has now reached national importance, was granted a new trial by the United States Supreme court, following its review by that august tribunal. The high court held that Hollins had been denied a fair trial in Oklahoma courts, because of the systematic exclusion of Negroes from jury service. The record showed that no Negro had served as a juror in Okmulgee county since statehood, although witnesses testified that more than 1500 Negroes were on the tax rolls of that county. Pickens and Dunjee To Return Editor Roscoe Dunjee, president of the Oklahoma State Conference of Branches, just before leaving for a 30-day trip to Texas to organi nate N. A. C. P. branches with Field Secretary William Pickens, issued a call to all N. A. A. C. P. branches and to the citizens generally for assistance in raising the necessary funds for the trial which will come up two weeks later. Must Have Additional Funds "We have only $400," declared Dunjee in his appeal, "while the case, before we have concluded it, will cost more than $1,000. Attorney fees, witness expenses such as board, transportation and lodging, to gether with othed incidentals, will be included in the costs," said Dunjee. Bullock Issues Call Bullock Issues Can Dr. W. A. J. Bullock, Chickasha, chairman of the Jess Hollins Defense Fund, from his sick bed at Chickasha, also issued a call for additional funds. Dr. Bullock is suffering from a broken leg, the result of an automobile accident Hallowe'en night. Bullock was in conference Sunday with Dean Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., regarding the case. Four-Year Battle The case of Jess Hollins has for four years attracted nation-wide RALEIGH, N.C.—Presidents of five leading Negro colleges and two other prominent educators were the principal speakers Tuesday, November 19, at two sessions of the educational conference held at Shaw University in connection with the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the Raleigh school. The conference, which was attended by presidents, principals, and other representatives of colleges, universities and by several hundred prominent alumni and friends of Shaw, was the second of several events of a three day anniversary program which began Monday night with a testimonial dinner at which nearly 50 citizens of Raleigh and Wake County assembled to express appreciation for the services rendered the community by the university. With Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, president of Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedalia, North Carolina, and President W. J. Trent of Livingstone College at Salisbury, North Carolina, presiding, the seven educators discussed the geneal theme, "The Private College in Negro Education." The speakers were: President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, President H. L. McCroye of Johnson C. Smith University, President John Hope of Atlanta University, President Buell G. Gallagher of Talladega College, President Thomas E. Jones of Fisk University, F r e d McCusinon, executive agent of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, and G L THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1935 attention, reflecting as it does the injustice heaped upon Negroes in Oklahoma courts. Hollins, on Dec 31, 1931, at midnight was arrested in bed with his wife and charged with rape. He was rushed from Slick, where he lived, to Sapulpa, the county seat of Greek county. Within two hours following his arrest this defenseless Negro had been stripped of every constitutional guarantee and sentenced to electrocution. Denied Due Process DENIED DUE PROCESS Hollins was denied the right to make bond, denied the right to counsel, denied the right to face his accuser, denied the constitutional period in which to plead, denied the constitutional period of time between arraignment, preliminary and trial. During this period, with no one to advise him as to his rights and interests, Hollins was hurdled through a barbarous "third degree" and the county emerged from the midnight trial in the jail with an alleged confession. N. A. A. C. P. Enters N. A. A. C. P. Enters The State Conference of N. A. A. C. P. branches immediately took charge of the Hollins case, and a brief was submitted in the Crimina Court of Appeals by Attorney. Ned Looney, Oklahoma City. During this period a statement was secured from the defend, ant turning over the defense to the N. A. A. C. P. Attorneys E. P. Hill and W. N. Redwine were employed to handle the case. Gets WRE or Certiorari Following the trial at Okmulgee in February 1934, Hollins was again convicted. A case-made covering almost 700 pages, together with arguments made by Dean Charles H. Houston, representing the N. A. A. C. P., was presented in the United States Supreme court on a writ of certiorari. Attorney General Mac Q. Williamson represented the State of Oklahoma. It was at this hearing a new trial was granted. Justice Should Not See Color "The N. A. A. C. P. is interested in this case primarily because it insists that is Oklahoma and in every American court the same type of justice measured out to one citizen shall be guaged for an other," said Editor Dunjee in discussing the case. "Oklahoma should not have a type of justice for black men and another for white." Hollins Innocent of Rape Charge "In this case we have another 'Charlie Miller' problem. According to the sworn testimony of a dozen reputable witnesses, including a prominent minister of Creek county, the prosecuting witness was a girl of dissolute character, consorted with Negroes, and in many instances was found drunk with them. Personally I believe that Jess Hollins is as innocent of rape of the prosecuting witness as a new-born babe. We therefore have two battles to fight in this case. The problem of defending an innocent black man from prosecution, and his right to a fair trial, regardless of his guilt or innocence," continued Dunlee. Washington of Institute Sounding the keynote of the conference in the opening address, Dr. Johnson declared that the same reasons exist for the retention of the private college in education as existed from the very beginning and with intensified interest.

North 3815 Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb --- The Voice of Alexandria By EDDIE NEWMAN One of America's most popular festal days, is the Thanksgiving holiday. Originally, a day set aside by the Pilgrim fathers, for giving prayer and thanks to God for His mercy and tenderness in sparing their lives and providing food and shelter for them in a virgin country—it has now become synonymous with turkey, cranberry sauce and mince puddings. So while we are gorging appetitiously on Thursday, let us set aside a few minutes on this day to give thanks to the Great Provider, for the things that He has given us this year—be they large or small.

The Y.W.C.A. girls' five and the Armstrong N.S. lassies played a "rough and tumble" tilt on the same evening, with the Armstrong-gites prevailing to the overwhelming tune of 6 to 5.

The scene in which Jean Harlow, the mother was pleading to cold blooded society dames for the welfare of her child and herself. When such people can't laught at the right time, it is our opinion that they should not laught at all. Enough said. Add another bunch of stale scallions, this time, for those fun-makers who like to crack at others but can't accept any jokes on themselves. No need to mention any names. HOMETOWN CHATTER—After having this section well worked out, what would happen, but one of those north winds from Chicago, would blow into town and bring with it our old Master of Ceremonies, none other than that personality. Ying, Mr. Morris L Murray... Yowsir his back and with him he brings a story. We quote with a few added words. "Whenever you make up your mind that you want to get away from it all, here what you do.

Congrats, to our contemporary, Beatrice Murphy, who is doing splendidly with her Young People's Page in the Tuesday edition... but, by the by, what has happened to Lawrence Hayes's contributions?... Aside to Bill Thomas—Your almost weekly mention in your column of the fact that you are always "soused" is causing lots of folks (particularly the fames) to believe that you are a confirmed imbiber. Just a hint, fella. The Moonlight Dreamers, a newly formed girls' club, gave a "free-bee" last week that was extremely enjoyable from the male angle—there were about four girls to every man, believe it or not, boy, did we have fun? The appearance of Louise Briscoe at social events usually is the signal for masculine inquiries as to "who's that gorgeous creature?"—or words to that effect. John Lacey and Frances Blackstone are still holding hands. The handsome Chaucey Taylor recently won a "trucking contest" at the Masonic hall. Here's hoping that all of you will have a delightful Thanksgiving dinner, with plenty of turkey, stuffings, pies, nuts and fruit—and, oh, yes, a bit of egg nog on the side. A吧—by ssin—ia! BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ORCHIDS ONLY "No Brick allowed, we as a race don't need it'd daren' By WILLIAM (Wigles) THOMAS Just look at the caption of this column. Ya see it? Study it carefully. Ya got it?—Sure you have and what you wonder is how the deuce I can write under such a title. I wonder myself, how I've managed to do so thus far and to be exact. I haven't always done so. 'Twas too taxing. At the penning of this particular edition of Orchids, your vender of the beautious flowers of honor, is half way decided to write under a different title. I'm beginning to envy my very good colleagues, the X, and all of the color penmen whose noses for news and need make them print news for all it's worth, sparing no one. It's drawn tough to find nice things to say about folks. My task would be so much easier if I were to write "Brickbats"—no Orchids donated. We, as a race, can't stand th' beautiful things" now just suppose I did, I'd first tell you that I did my very best to pen a welcome to one Booker Coleman when he returned to Dee Cee with an improved Orchestra. Oh boy, did I stick my foot in hot water when I blabbed away about his featured trio 'n all that sorta bother? I did—for Maestro Coleman told me that he figured a man could stand on his own merits. In other words, he needed no columnists to be writing anything about his band. Would ya believe this? Brickbats number two might go to a chap by the name of Johnson, one of the Guardsmen, whom I'd say is not so very tactful when it comes to disposing of "undersiables" at the club affa's. It so happens that I was very cordially received by other members of The Guardsmen and was having a perfectly deliberious time when Johnson (a bad host indeed) questioned my presence with a very nasty "That guy doesn't belong in here." I may be wrong but I think I would have been a little more tactful as a host, in ridding myself of a disturbing person. Then too, since you didn't kow who th' devil I happened to be—as far as you're concerned—I may have been somebody who could do you a lot of good. 'n what some folks don't know is that a reporter may be of a lot of help sooner or later. Yes, siree, if there is a story to be had, he can get it and the affair of the Guardsmen, did offer me lots of stories. You know of course that Wayne King was decidedly out of order and was bounced on the beezer for being so. Then too while Henry Williams, with all of the congeniality in th' world, tried to make it pleasant, not nauseating, for everyone (more than I can say for this Johnson chap), we observed that Lawson Harold was in the company of his heart throb. No, not Mozelle Barnes nor Evelyn Johnson, but Ethel Mason. 'n Lawson, being the fine fellow he is, saw to it that Arthur Foster was present, but Arthur tore his trousers with Lawson, by bringing Mozelle. 'n was his face——. Oh, but—after all, the Guardsmen are a fine lot of fellows. Nature is a wonderful thing! A million years ago she didn't know we were going to wear spectacles—yet look at the way she placed our ears. And you've lent an ear to this one I know: Dentist: "Do you use tooth paste?" Patient: "No Sir, my teeth aren't loose." Henry M. Ingram had a stag party, and I'm told that 'twas the pinchole. Yes, by durvy, I was invited but one person in the name of Betty Thomas saw to it that I sipped nary a bit of that juice the host had on hand, much to my regret. You see this chap Ingram had just turned twenty-two, so he celebrated with a stag party which was "the shells." Get a load of all the guys with Diplomatic monikers—Huelan Jones, Rhoma Holsall, Almas Berry, Algier Ewing, Algermon Fisher, then there were fellows who are just "ordinary humans" like, Earl Hengerson, George "Nat" Arelians, Clarence McDonald, James Goode, Howard Starks, James Powell, and the guy who delivered th' spirits. 'n—a ball was 'ad by all—except me. But I'll "ball" at the Barons (Friday). A girl who never has a "kick" coming, who has never been hungry and who is always grinning (as she calls her very intriguing smile) is Irene Browne, local lovely lass with music in her very soul, a personality too winsome and a heart of gold. You should know her, really ole thing. She's a deah! It's of no Consequence, but I'll tell you that everywhere the Sepia Syncopators play, Anna Gordon goes right along. The reason? Kenneth Shepherd, the director—and banjoist, who will probably smash me when he reads this for he is a chap who can get d-mad, so he says. 'n' I believe he can, as if who can't. Oh well, temperamental, these artists, Artists??? The Chicken Shack lures many who are thirst-tee! Marshall Nick and Olga keep George on the go while Earl Henderson was so thirsty that after he quenched it, he stuck his car down th' hill last Wednesday. Bill Curry insisted that the girl he escorted was Alberta Russell. He may have been foolin'—I was drunk. After all—'Twas my birthday and I celebrated it in twwooo fine of a style. Friend wifie helped me by tosing five whole dollar bills for me which did make my poor heart ache, oh so very much. However, Earl, Henry and George helped me too forget it. We went "Shacking" and "twas at the Shack that news came to me of the elopement of Lilian Moten and Walter Van Brakel—"The Sextet," that club of social roustabouts, that enjoyed such a successful season last year, have planned to entertain their friends with something new and novel in the not far distant future. You remember the mugs of course, Henry M, Ingram, Earl Henderson, Henry Grillo, George Davis, Howard Jones and your scri伯er of nothings. Watch this little spot for the date of doings. ***** "What are you doing now Jerry?" "I'm an exporter." "I'm an exporter?" "Yep—it fired by the Pullman Company." It Sounds Serious But Taint Tact, I'd say the fellow used. The one who intercepted mail addressed to his wife from another man. Mail he found to contain money. He, himself answered it. Received more money from the "other man" in the life of his wife. He answered that one too and by patience and work he became versatile in the imitation of his wife's "line" and hand writing. Now the dear boy is sporting a new roadster, new clothes, and spends a lot more dough, but he drinks oh sooo much. Maybe that is tact or better self control. He could have committed murder. DUNT ESK—I can't divulge his name. I would if I wrote "Brickbats."—"Wiggles" Question Mark I wonder what makes people yodel the first thing Monday morning? Alice Proctor said she was singing, but since the majority win, they say she was yodeling. (So yodeling it shall be, Alice, after all.) Ruby Smith had better start helping in the morning exercises or the students will wonder whether she knows the flag salute. Fingernails must be very good for breakfast nowdays or else M. Whiten would not eat them in school. Celestine Gilmore seems so melancholy since her John Euell has departed. William Jones was told by a teacher that it was a crime to let his brains waste away. A certain boy's name was called the other day and T. Hill nearly fell out of her seat. (Stop fruit-caking. Thelma, stop it.) It seems as though a certain girl at Cardozo thinks Rizquier Jones is starting a kindergarten. No sister, Rozier has long left that stage. (How're you doing, R. C.?) Young Miss Lily Poole was told by one of her teachers that her pool is becoming filled and if she doesn't start getting her lesson it would soon run over and then—zoom. Mr. R. Bias should be given credit for his generosity in making it possible for the students to see "Chu Chin Chow" for such a low price as ten cents. The price was so low that even Joe Miller bought a ticket. Was sitting in "Bookkeeping" the other day when a peculiar odor floated pass my nose, and was I surprised to find that Mattie Dixon had turned the class into a beauty parlor. Listen Mattie if you want to get real nice looking, just come to see for advice. Marie Smallwood, little girl of public speaking, seems so emotional when giving a speech that she even makes yours sincerely cry (Not as a result of the speech he for sympathy for her.) Just how many students took the advice given by Miss Helen Wood to open a savings account is be yond me. Personally I know a fev who would save if they had any thing. I noticed Naomi Newman and Louise Epps at the game the other day. Things must be brightening up around the old home stead. The only way Charles Bowser could have anything to do with the Honor Society was to help them remove the chairs after the skit. Congratulations to Miss Helen Proctor for writing such an interesting sketch. I overheard D Shell say he was going to Northwestern after leaving Cardozo, but my advice to the young man is to think of the present and not of the future because he may never reach his destiny. Can you imagine two boys a round Cardozo wearing short pants. Everyone knows Commode and Ashton have passed the second decade. This column is very much puzzled over why Bill Kenney has to ward off Nellie Jones's affectation when he knows she's crazy about him. Who so indifferent, Billy? Before Marian Greenway tries to get on the Honor Roll she should practice raising her right and left hand. Was I surprised when Sherman Neil paid me one cent which he owed to six months. The coin was weather beaten and rusty. I won der if it is spendable? Ruth Burrel and a Mr Robert Crawford seems to be enjoying that heavenly bliss. Your sinerely gathers this from the look that are exchanged by the two. I must be love. Flash—News From the Dance Dinmore, silk handkerchief are good selling goods, eh?
