It was declared invalid in a habeas corpus ruling by Judge Hugh M. Dorsey in Fulton County Superior Court, who freed Herndon in $8,000 bail and allowed the state 20 days for an appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. Assistant Solicitor General E. A. Stephens said that in all probability an appeal would be taken immediately, and defense counsel indicated that, if necessary, the case would be carried to the United States Supreme Court. Herndon was convicted of violating the statute in 1932 after he had organized in a relief appeal about 1,000 families, of which about 600 were white. He was accused of attempting to establish a Negro republic, and some of the reading matter found in his possession, was alleged to advocate overthrow of government in Southeastern states. Held Illegal In his decision, Judge Dorsey upheld the defense contention that the statute as construed and applied in this case "is in conflict (See HERNDON, Page 2) Robinson American Ace Forced Down by Italian ADDIS ABABA.

ALLEYS Mixed Group Astounded at Conditions in Hidden Streets of City The Congregational Youth's Council composed of representatives of five white and three colored Congregational churches, made a trip through some of the alleys of Washington under the personal direction of John Ihlder, Alley Dwelling Authority, Sunday, November 24. The purpose of the tour was to get an actual picture of the conditions. "We were surprised to learn that over 9,000 people are alley-dwellers," Mrs. Mary Duncan, secretary to the Young People's Club of Lincoln Temple said, "It is hard to realize how so many people live under such deprable conditions as those we witnessed on this trip. In most of the alleys there was no plumbing or means of heat. There was widespread lack of window panes for which were substituted rags, pillows, cardboard boxes and in one place, an old door was used across the window to keep out the wintry winds. The alley dwellings were dark in the day, even after being lighted by lamps. The surroundings were littered with trash, garbage, and other fifth. This shows evidence of the lack of performance of duty by the City Refuse Department." The representatives of Lincoln Congregational Temple made a report of the trip at the regular meeting of the Young People's Club last Sunday evening. "Public sentiment must be created against such slums in the Nation's Capital. The club has decided to show pictures of these alleys at the church in the near future, in order that the community might have a clearer conception of the slums of Washington," said Miss Duncan.

WRIGHT TO LEAVE SCHOOLS J. C. Wright, aged and veteran school teacher, and father of the three-cent street car fare for students in the District of Columbia, will retire from the public school system December 31, bringing to a close 37 years of service in the District public schools. The Board of Education, Tuesday afternoon, approved a recommendation submitted by Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, that the request for retirement made by Mr. Wright, be approved. Lauded By Wilkinson In submitting his recommendation, Dr. Wilkinson paid a glowing tribute to the services rendered to the school system by Mr. Wright. Appointed to service September 21, 1898. Mr. Wright has been a teacher of typing ever since, finding time in between to do research work, and make several compilations of his activities "During his thirty-seven years of service," Dr. Wilkinson said, "Mr. Wright has followed the department of business practice through its many changing locations—old M Street High School; Douglass, Old Mott, Armstrong; Phelps, Dunbar and Cardozo High Schools. "Throughout his service Mr. Wright has maintained a very high average of efficiency, and made a distinct contribution to the business education of colored youth. Mr. Wright devoted much of his time to assembling information on the history and development of the Washington public schools, Divisions 10-13, with special reference to the secondary institutions of learning. He has published historical sketches on the growth and development of Washington public schools, Divisions 10-13, the first assistant superintendent said. Among some of the compilations made by Mr. Wright were "Dunbar and Armstrong's Contribution to the World War"; and "The Twenty-fourth-Regiment of High School Cadets." He has been highly commended for comprehensive follow-up surveys of Dunbar High School Cadets for the years 1918-27, inclusive. Dr Wilkinson informed the board. Ma(2) Study Mr. Wright also made an occupational study of the graduates of the business department of the Academic High School, now the Cardozo High School, for the period 1889 to 1927. He interested himself in many civic problems, being largely responsible for the enactment by the United States Congress of its present three-cent street car fare for school children, which legislation was enacted February 25, 1831. His retirement will be a distinct loss to the public schools of Washington, Dr. Wilkinson said. Hands across the sea might mean that each is reaching for the other's purse strings.

Italian officers predicted the long-awaited major battle would be fought soon. In one clash southwest of Makale, at Debri, four Italian white soldiers were killed, and there was another encounter on the western end of the front near tre Takkaze River. The Ethiopian northern army, reinforced by regular troops from Addis Ababa, equipped in European style, appeared determined to give battle in an attempt to turn the Takkaze River. Italian reports said the Ethiopians recently received 7,500 Belgian rifles, 350,000 cartridges and 150 Mannlicher and 750 Hotchkiss machine guns. In another recent shipment, the figures showed, there were 200,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, 200 trench mortars and 500,000 hand grenades. The Ethiopian army was also said to have 300 Maxim light machine guns, 500 Maxim heavy machine guns, 25,000 Mauser rifles, 10,000 automatic rifles and 15,000,000 cartridges. It was reported 2,800 Bickers machine guns and 500 Lewis machine guns have been ordered. heid than the intensity of the feeling against the police." Referring to the shooting of Lloyd Hobbs, a high school student who was returning home from the movies when the rioting broke out and was fatally shot by a patrolman when he ran away, the committee said: Will Never Surrender a Single Foot of Land, Emperor Tells Nations FIRST MAJOR BATTLE OF HOSTILITIES LOOMS African Empire Armed With Modern Equipment, Report Discloses ADDIS ABABA—Although Europe, and especially France, is busy among themselves dividing up Ethiopia to satisfy Mussolini, Emperor Haile Selassie sent word Wednesday that Ethiopia never will surrender "a single foot of land" under any plan. The Emperor, who is at Dessye, telephoned Foreign Minister Herouy here. "We will never give up any part of Ethiopia." Advices from Dessye said the Emperor would leave there within a few days, either returning to Addis Ababa by airplane or going by caravan to the North. Emperor Haile Selassie, a close adviser said Wednesday, will leave Dessye within a few days, either going overland to the North or flying back to Addis Ababa. In any case, it was learned, he will not proceed more than 50 miles toward the northern battlefront, probably going to Magdalena to meet his three northern commanders. (Magdalena is about 40 miles north BLAME COPS IN HAREL M RACE RIOT Mayor's Commission Exonerates Communists; Better Housing Urged NEW YORK—After almost nine months of continuous labor—conducting public and private hearings, making investigations and checking up on testimony—the committee appointed by Mayor LaGuardia to investigate the causes of the Harlem riot on March 19, 1935, is ready to make a report, it was learned last week. This committee will also make a series of recommendations to the mayor. Dr. E. Franklin Frazier, noted sociologist, was hired by the committee to correlate the testimony and interpret it in the light of scientific developments, and his report is also eagerly awaited. Dr. Charles H. Roberts, chairman of the general committee, adopted an attitude from the first that all phases of the situation would be heard, and insisted that anyone with a complaint be permitted to have a hearing. Communists Exonerated At first it was openly charged that the outbreak had been planned and provoked by the activities of the members of the Communist party in Harlem. On this question the committee has this to say: "We are now in a position to report, first, that the outburst was spontaneous and unpremeditated; second, that it was not a race riot in the sense of being a physical conflict between persons of the white and colored groups; third, that it was not instituted by the Communists, though they sought to profit by it and circulated a false and misleading leaflet after the riot was well under way; fourth, that the work of the police was by no means beyond criticism; and fifth, that this sudden breach of the public order was the result of a highly emotional situation among the colored people in Harlem due, in a large part, to the nervous strain of years of unemployment and insecurity. To this must be added their deep sense of wrong through discrimination against their employment in stores which live chiefly upon their purchases, discrimination against them in the school system and by the police, and all the evils due to dreadful overcrowding, unfair rentals and inadequate institutional care. It is probably that their justifiable pent-up feelings, that they were and are the victims of gross injustice and prejudice, would sooner or later have brought about an explosion. After reviewing the incidents that led up to the riot, the report points out that the slowness of police officials to sense the temper of the people was in no small measure responsible for the disorder that followed. The report said, "Nothing more alarming has been developed in the heartaches west of Dessye, and something less than 150 miles dmue South of Makale, where the Italian front lines are located.) Battle Looms Heavily Armed "There is not the slightest evidence that Lloyd Hobbs, who was 16 years of age, or his brother had ever been engaged in any improper activities. They were sons of a family of good standing and upright character. It seems to the committee that the shooting was inexcusable. The record of Lloyd Hobbs and that of his family are presumptive evidence that he was not the kind of boy who would engage in looting. Even granting that the boy was guilty as charged by the policeman, it must be noted that there was no public disorder at the time to call for violent action; a life should not have been taken for the offense. "The gravity or this case and the grave effect it has had upon the Harlem community make it. in our judgment, essential not only that Commissioner Valentine should himself investigate the happenings, but that proper warnings should be issued to the police not to use their revolvers unless thoroughly justified by the emergency and the character of the man they are pursuing." Housing The investigation of causes of the riot had not been long under way when it became apparent that a study of the underlying cause would be necessary; and so, subcommittees on housing, the hospital situation, etc.; were appointed. The committee on housing found great complaint and considerable distress in the practices surrounding evictions. They made the following recommesations: 1. That legislation be enacted to give judges power to stay evictions. 2. Decent notice before eviction. 3. The right of tenants to use as a defense against an eviction proof of a landlord's promise to repair. 4. The deposit of rents during such times as violations have been filled, the use by the city of such funds for curing violations. 5. That legislation be enacted holding not only the equity owners responsible, but placing subject to the arm of the law all those who have direct or indirect control over properties. 6. The immediate enactment of legislation making it unlawful for owners to discriminate in the leasing or selling of home space on the grounds of race, creed or color.

LEWIS IS LABOR HEAD, NOT GREEN, SAYS LEMUS Writer Predicted That Lewis Would Soon Attain Leadership By RIENZI R. LEMUS NEW YORK (A.N.P.) — That Negroes are being given the proverbial run-around as far as the American Federation of Labor is concerned was disclosed here during the past week and leaders are now beginning to see the futility of believing that that organization headed by William Green will ultimately let down the barriers against Negroes and give the members of this group a "new and square deal." Every subterfuge has been torn down by those besieging the stronghold of the American Federation of Labor and yet nothing has been done. Mr. Green has skinned his hand plainly and the organization, which according to its constitution is supposed to protect the laborers in this country has backed him up whole-heartedly. Negro leaders now should be aware of the fact that if the Negro is to "find a way out" he has to look for another outlet Predicted Lewis's Leadership The great union labor leader of this day is President John L. Lewis of the United Mineworkers, an industrial union—one that comprises all the various crafts of the industry in an autonomous union under one executive and administrative direction, in striking contrast to the craft unions adherence to which destroyed the A.F. of L. I wrote a year ago that within five years Brother Lewis would lead the Mineworkers Union, backbone of the A.F. of L. to lead the organizations of the new industrial dispensation last week, and it is reasonable to expect that the next convention of the Mineworkers will decide to withdraw from the A.F. of L. President Lewis "made" William Green president of the A.F. of L. Green w as Lewis's secretary-treasurer of the Mineworkers when the vacancy left by the death of President Samuel Gompers had to be filled. Finding out that he could not get the presidency himself, Lewis put the Mineworkers behind Green, and made him Gompers' successor. Green has been annually reelected president ever since. Negroes Are Real Members Negro miners within the active sphere of the United Mineworkers are members thereof as members and hot as Negroes; which latter is their status in so many of the A.F. of L. craft unions, particularly the Brotherhood Rail Carmen—which sets out in its constitution that colored locals cannot be autonomous but shall be represented in presentation of grievances and in conventions by "WHITE men only." None of that in John L. Lewis's union. But whatever the type of union organization is of and by workers. This is exiomatic, and while race leaders would be treated courteously by the labor union chiefs only a worker or workers can prevail; and that is why we new read so much of the race leaders' complaints of getting "sidetracked" by the A.F. of L. when in the last convention in Atlantic City in October they made their pleas for unionization of colored workers. "Organized" Labor Union labor chiefs are the hard-bitten workers; successors to hard-bitten labor leaders upped from the ranks of and by their fellows; with scant patience for professional representatives and no re- Death of Lij Yasu Seen Aa Aid to Selassie ADDIS ABABA (A.N.P.)—Death last week of Lij Yasia, deposed King of Ethiopia and the man who Emperor Haile Selassie most feared, is looked upon here as of more importance to the King of Kings than a successful major military engagement with Mussolini's invading forces. The deposed king, who was announced as dying of general paralysis in the royal prison at Mount Cara Mouleta where he had been confined three years, had been imprisoned a total of 19 of his 38 years. As chief pretender to the throne and leader of the Ethiopian Moslems, Yasu would have been a most useful tool in the hands of Italians, who were rumored some time ago to be plotting his escape.

Organized labor was organized by labor. Organized labor leaders are not race leaders—whatever white or black. The field is categoric of requirements, and number of no generality of leadership. The new dissemination will be no less intolerant of race representatives of ought-to-be organized colored workers than the "demised" A.F. of L. was which now, that Lewis has pulled out, may seek a foil in colored workers through "race" leadership. DEATH CLAIMS 2 HARLEM CITIZENS NEW YORK, — Harlem was shocked to learn. Tuesday of the death of two of its prominent citizens. Charles C. Allison, Jr., noted figure about town and Dr. James P. Jones, well known chiriodist and society man, were the two victims of the Grim Reaper. Allison, for the past 16 years a probation officer attached to the Court of General Sessions, died early Tuesday morning, after a lingering illness. He was about 45 years of age and resided at 185 West 135th Street. Dr. James P. Jones, noted local figure, died at 6 o'clock. Tuesday morning at Morrisania Hospital. Death came as the result of gangrene infection setting in following an injury to his leg which he received Sunday on the elevated railway platform at 167th Street and Jerome Avenue. He was 61 years of age. The accident which eventually resulted in Dr. Jones's death, is said to have occurred Sunday morning. While disembarking from a Ninth Avenue train at the 167th street station, Dr. Jones' coat was caught in a closing door and he was dragged several feet before he was extricated. Rushed to the Morrisania Hospital, he was found to have sustained leg injuries. Despite the effort of physicians, gangrene set in, resulting in his death. Dr Jones was born in Warrenton, North Carolina, and came to this city at the age of 16. A graduate of the New York School of Chiropody, he had been employed at the Hanover National Bank for the past 42 years.

"We Are in Perfect Harmony in Mississippi," Says Committeen.an MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—Arriving here from the Elks' five-state conference held in Greenville, Miss., recently, Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser for that order and a member of the law firm of Cobb, Howard and Hayes, in Washington, denied there was any truth in published rumors of dissension in the ranks of his constituency in Mississippi. Howard, Republican national committeeman for that state, declared: "We are all in perfect harmony in Mississippi, more than ever before, and the published statement that there is anything like dissension brewing, is a malicious lie. I spent many pleasant days in the home of the Redmonds in Jackson, used the offices of Lawyer Moon for my headquarters, and at the Elk gathering was introduced by E. P. Booze and was responded to by Fred M. Miller—all of whom have been mentioned as opposing me. The common note struck by them was that I am the greatest political leader the state has ever had, and all pledged their unstinted support." The former Department of Justice official under Hoover, who visited here with Bob Church, asserted he spent most of his time in the state conferring with political co-workers, getting things in condition for state conventions and re-organizing machinery for the next four years. Dr Oliver Howard Arnold, Retired Dentist, Dies Dr. Oliver Howard Arnold, retired dentist, died Tuesday at his late residence, 419 Q Street, Northwest, after a short illness. Surviving him are his mother, Mrs. M. E. Arnold, a brother, Edward F. Arnold, and a sister, Miss Laura G. Arnold. Jes Holins Case Postponed to December 9 MUSKOGEE. Ok'a. (A.N.

Retrial was ordered by the United States Supreme Court on the grounds that Negroes were barred from ground and patt jury service. Hollins is charged with attacking a white girl. Youth Runs Amuck and Goes to Prison to Serve Several Sentences John E. Proctor, 18, of the 1700 block of E Street, Southeast, was convicted of two cases of grand larceny and joyriding, in the District of Columbia Supreme Court last week, and on Wednesday was sentenced to from one to two years on each count, to run consecutively, and follow a former sentence of from one to two years. The youthful prisoner was out on probation, having pleaded guilty to robbery in 1934, at which time he was sentenced to from one to two years in the penitentiary. Two white boys, also implicated in the grand larceny and joy-riding offenses, tried to shield Proctor by testifying that he was not present with them when they committed the crimes. Only after sharp cross-examination by Justice Daniel W. O'Donohue himself did Mahoney, one of the boys, break down and admit that Proctor was with them at the time of the larceny and did ride with them and drive the stolen car at times. It will be recalled that Proctor slipped the handcuffs off his wrist in the jail van on one evening last week and made a short "get-away" into the bushes around Gallinger Hospital, four blocks away from the jail. Joseph Podges, of Gaithersburg, a deputy United States marshal, chased the flooring youthful prisoner and found him in hiding in the bushes. Proctor offered no resistance when caught, and the next day was convicted. He was registered as white at the jail and in the prison. A. K. A.

MITCHELL HOME FROM ISLANDS WITH TWO FISH Surprised to Find Only 2 Pictures of F. D. R. in Island Schools Returning with a 42-pound amber jack and a 28-pound barracuda which he caught, Congressman Arthur W Mitchell, arrived in New York City Saturday at noon after a six-weeks' vacation in the Virgin Islands, Trinidad, and other Islands of the West Indies. Mr. Mitchell is an enthusiastic fisherman and was particularly pleased with his catch. The congressman was met at the pier by his wife and nieces from Connecticut and a delegation of New York citizens, headed by Casper Holstein, president of the Virgin Island Congressional Council. Mr. Mitchell expressed himself as being much pleased with the work being done by Governor-General Cramer and said that the people of St. Croix especially were much better under the New Dea. He told Mr. Holstein that his work in purchasing a large plantation and operating it on a scientific basis was the most constructive thing a native of the Islands has done. The congressman, himself, a former school teacher, made a tour of all schools on the island and said that he was surprised to find only two pictures of President Roosevelt on view in the schools and none of Negroes who had achieved fame in various lines of endeavor. He said he immediately got in touch with Dr. Carter G. Woodson, head of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and asked that he send, at the congressman's expense, a complete set of photos of prominent Negroes together with brief biographical sketches Mr. Mitchell said that Governor Cramer gave a reception in his honor and expressed deep interest and concern in plans to make the native populace self-supporting and economically independent. Congratulations and Mr. Mitchell Congressman and M... Mitchell left immediately for Washington.

Women's Faculty Head Refuted By First Lady On Press Ban Order Address to Women's Faculty Club of Howard University Marred By Discourtesy ATTEMPT TO BAR PRESS NIPPED Lack of Club Escort Causes Newsmen to Assist First Lady to White House Car The appearance of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at a regular meeting of the Women's Faculty Club of Howard University, last night, created a disturbance as officers of the club headed by its president, Miss R Arliner Young, sought to bar representatives of the press from the meeting, which was held in Frazier Hall. After notifying the local newspapers, including dailies, that Mrs. Roosevelt would be the guest speaker of the club, newsmen were threatened with police ejection if they attempted to report on the address of the First Lady. Miss Young guarded the entrance to the place of meeting after ejecting newsmen who had entered before the warning, and alleged to reporters and photographers that the President's wife had requested that no photographs be taken and no newspaper accounts be made of her appearance. When the news representatives were hesitant in leaving the building, she ordered Edward S. Hope superintendent of Buildings and Grounds of Howard University, to call the police. Mr. Hope refused to do so. Feeling that Miss Young had misunderstood the alleged request of Mrs. Roosevelt, reporters sought the permission of the First Lady to cover her address. This was done immediately upon her arrival, as she was being escorted into the dormitory by Frederick Durrah and Robert Wilson, of the R.O.T.C. unit of the university. "I have no objection whatsoever." Mrs. Roosevelt said, in response to the pressmen's request. Just before entering the dormitory she very graciously posed for the cameraman as she stood between the two R.O.T.C. officers detailed as escorts. Miss Young had previously said that the First Lady had made a "special request" that there be "no photographs." Miss Childers Involved Assisting Miss Young in outlining the reporters was Miss Lula V. Childers, of the university School of Music, who continuously demanded that they leave the building entirely. Informed that Mrs. Roosevelt had stated to the reporters that there was no objection on her part to a coverage of the meeting, several officers of the club went in o a huddle with the First Lady as they stood in the hall, which resulted in a statement to the reporters that the President's wife SPARE ROD RULE CHANGE IS ASKED Board of Education Asked to Repeal Corporal Punishment Law A stirring plea for the adoption of corporal punishment in the District public schools was made before the Board of Education at its Wednesday meeting by Dr. C. Herbert. Marshall, prominent physician and president of the Rock Creek Citigens' Association. Dr. Marshall advocated the repeal of the present law which forbids the use of corporal punishment in the public schools in order that better discipline can be maintained in the school room, and that students will give the proper respect for their teachers. Teachers Attacked Several recent instances wherein students have attacked teachers for correcting them were cited by Dr. Marshall, who charged that the Board of Education was partly responsible for the students' actions, when it penalized teachers for striking back, and allow the students to go with a slight reprimand. Such attitude on the part of the board swells the offending student's head, and causes not only the student to repeat the offenses in other instances, but stimulates other students into doing the same thing when a teacher is attempting to correct them. Adams Case Cited Dr. Marshall cited the penalty imposed on J. J. Adams, of Armstrong High School, who was recently suspended by the board for three months for defending himself against a fighting student, and for a statement made by a board had "reconsidered" the matter and had "finally decided" that they could not be admitted. On Communism Apparently satisfied that the situation had been cleared, officers of the club eventually escorted Mrs. Roosevelt to the main lounge of Frazier Hall where she spoke for thirty minutes, taking as her subject, "The Good Life." Mrs. Roosevelt was introduced to the group by Miss Young. Music was furnished by Miss Carolyn Grant. Seated with the President's wife were Dean of Women Lucy D. Slowe, Miss Childers, Mrs. Mordecai W. Johnson, wife of the university president; and Miss Young. Gets Ticket At the conclusion of her address, Mrs. Roosevelt was presented with a bouquet of roses and an autographed book, by Miss Helen Harris, instructor in education at the university. The book was bound with a white satin cover and contained the autographs of the forty-five members of the club. It was designed by Miss Lois M. Jones, of the department of art. Following the e presentation, members and guests filed by and shook hands with the First Lady. At the conclusion of the greeting, Mrs. Roosevelt sat down and chatted with members of the club for twenty minutes as ice cream and cake was served. Discourtesy Shown Mrs. Roosevelt came to the university in a White House car, accompanied by a chauffeur and footman, both of whom were allowed to stand in the lobby of the dormitory during the hour and a half that the First Lady was the guest of the university. The attendants were also ignored when refreshments were served. Only by insistence on the part of the newsmen were they given attention. "Is the way clear" Dean Slowe asked Mr. Hope, as Mrs. Roosevelt prepared to leave, volunteering that the First Lady had made a second "request" that no picture he taken of her departure. First Lady Unescorted Assured by the superintendent of buildings and grounds that the way was "clear," the President's wife was permitted to leave Frazier Hall, unprotected from the glare of flashlight cameras, and unescorted by any representative of the Women's Faculty Club, of which she was the guest. By the thoughtfulness of waiting newsmen, Mrs. Roosevelt was shown an assorted down the unfamiliar and difficult terraced stairway to her waiting car. Realizing the difficulty of holding the dormitory door open for the First Lady, and performing his duty of preceding her, at the same time, the footman requested a reporter to hold the door open for the President's wife, in the absence of any representative of the Women's Faculty Club. Abruptly sensing the neglect on the part of the club to express appreciation for the First Lady's visit, the ecortine newsman expressed gratitude for her appearance at the meeting, as she into her car and returned to the White House. member in justifying the student's stand in the case. The physician also cited the recent case wherein a teacher was bitten by a student, and no action taken against the student. The transfer of one student to another school was a bad precedent. Dr. Marshall contended, in that it wells the head of the student, and auses that student and other students to make remarks that they will repeat the offense the next time they are corrected. The case of a teacher who was struck in the abdomen recently by a student in northeast Washington was recalled by Dr. Marshall, who informed the board that in all probability the teacher will have to undergo an operation. Dr. Marshall was listened to attentively, and at the conclusion of his presentation was informed that the board would consider his appeal at an early date. THREE FREED OF NUMBERS CHARGE Charges against three charged with permitting operation of the numbers racket will not be pushed it was made known this week when Assistant District Attorney David Hart agreed to drop the charge against Earl McDonald, 1235 U Street, Northwest; Franklin Lynn A. Owens, and to allow Buddy Ballard, an employee of McDonald's Liquor Store, to plead guilty. All three men were arrested several weeks ago and tried before-Judge Gus A Schuldt, of the United States branch of the Police Court the latter part of October the trial resulting in a hung jury. The arrests were brought about when Miss Virginia Jones complained to police that she had hit a number which Owens had accepted, and was refused pay. An Explanation -- and On with the News By VIVIAN TURNER Hello, everybody! I guess you're wondering what happened to this column last week. Just a little mix-up in type setting. Those of you who know how the newspaper is set up can surely sympathize when an error occurs like this. Bear with us and excuse us this time. My co-workers in charge of this department promise that this will not occur again. To go back to the happenings of last week—the holiday weekend: Wednesday evening the Mu-so-1 To go back to the happenings Wednesday evening the Mu-so-Lit Club entertained at the Lincoln Colonnade with a barn dance. What fun! Somehow these enjoyable informal affairs are becoming very popular. Ginghams and general utility frocks, dainty and very pretty were worn by the ladies while overalls and working clothes of every description formed the costumes of the men. The hall was artistically decorated with hundreds of cornstalks. (We wonder how many farms were raided). An interesting feature of the evening was the scramble for chickens. A large coup of chickens surrounded by cornstalks formed the center decoration of the hall. During intermission many persons entertained with special stunts and were given one of the fowls for being volunteers; then there was a general scramble for several fowls thrown from the balcony by one of the officers of the club; then finally those drawing lucky tickets were given the remaining ones. In all it was great fun. Orchids to the Mu-so-Lit Club—everyone will be looking forward to their annual "Palm Beach Dance." After the dance a bite to eat was in order, so the Green Parrot, Thomas's Luncheonette and the Capital Pleasure Club were all crowded to capacity. How many folks were blue next morning when they awakened to find such a gray sky indicating rain was on its way? Running true to form, the heavens seem to open, and did it rain! All day long, far into the night could be heard the dreary beat of the rain against the windows and roofs. Despite the rain, the "show must go on." To be frank, manufacturers are making such attractive rain clothes persons forgot the weather, donned their caps, capes and goloshes and wended their way various places. Yours truly motored to Baltimore to see the clash of the mighty Morgan football team and that of Virginia State, two undefeated teams of this year. And did they play? Rain, water, and mud meant nothing. They ploughed through it all with Morgan coming out quite far in lead. Bugle Field was crowded to its capacity which showed the popularity of these teams. After the game, we had the pleasure of having dinner with Mrs. Ruth Shipley. By the way—you all know that Mrs Shipley, a charming "school marm" of Baltimore and also interested in the popular Fowler's drug store in that city, is quite well-known here in the District. She hopes to send invitations in a couple of weeks to her many friends here announcing the opening of her dining room in the Hotel York, which has been beautifully remodelled recently.

The people of Baltimore will also welcome its opening. Saw also the winsome Miss Fannie Howard. She lamented missing the Atlantic City game but was content to eat dinner as guest of Miss Etta Burwell and her fiancee, who will soon be blended. Between rains we said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Small; to Mrs. Edna Deaver McCormick, of California, who is still in Baltimore visiting her mother; to the well-known politician and business man Tom Smith who is the picture of health and looking fine after his recent eye operation. The operation was quite a success. At the game, we saw our own Dr. William H. Greene ready to leave for Atlantic City for the game that evening between Howard and Lincoln. "Stud" is a great lover of the sport and a stauchn fan for Howard, vin or lose. He made the game and reports a fine time, though the familiar faces were few and far between. Mrs. Sara Spencer's Washington's home was ablaze the whole week-end and her dawn dance was most beautiful and enjoyable. A long table, heavily laden with all the delicacies of the season was spread in the hall for the guests. This was as predicted, for we know of Mrs. Waddish's generous hospitality. Also saw at the game Ralph Matthews, eartwhile member of the Washington Tribune staff, but now of the Afro-American; waved to R. W. Gaddis, one of our own school teachers. Stanley Elms, Carlton Hughes, Scotts Socks, Billy Clark and Bennie Brown, Howard boys were spectators at the game and enjoyed a lively evening in various places. We wonder what will be the next most novel entertainment or dance in the city? Our hats are off to the modernistic Axe-Grinders Club. I'm thinking they have put one over on the social clubs, and the best one yet. They are giving a closed dance at Crystal Caverns Friday evening. Are there bids? I say there are—swanky telegrams from the social department of the Western Union delivered by messengers. Now how good is that? Hold your breath now I haven't related all. If you have no car, they are sending special cars to your home for you on the night of the dance. Give the boys a great big hand folks, for they really deserve it. I hardly know what I will have to relay to you after the dance as surprises come so fast and often. Watch for developments. Everyone is congratulatilw Hrs. Enda Perry, of 1751 U Street, Northwest. Why and for what did you ask? All you need to do is to order one of those delicious boxes of homemade candy from her, take one bite and you will know the answer to your query. Mrs Perry makes the candy to order—and is keeping extremely busy trying to deliver on time. Orchids to you Edna—soon we hope to see the name over a successful candy shop. A most colorful banquet was given on last Saturday evening at the Whiteleaf Hotel by Tiffany Toliver, manager of the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery Corporation to the undertakers of this city, Mr. Tolliver acted as master of ceremonies and introduced the following speakers: John R. Hawkins, Tolliver by the Lincoln Memorial John T. Rhines, Thomas Frazier, and Charles Thomas.

Mr. and Mrs. George Latimore, Mr. and Mrs. John Pye, Mr. and Mrs. Cole of Annapolis, Mr. and Attorney and Mrs. W. I. Blake, Mrs. Florence Marshall and Mr. Peter Glascoe.

PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men A Washington couple (high in the city's affairs, and parents of small, darling children) are wondering what to do with their "bar." Heretotore, they have been meeting and greeting their friends under. But, children are smart these days, and the couple's brightest son, somehow, discovered that it was not milk or even tea or coffee that filled the glasses in the cellar. He did not exactly know what it was. But he thought of course, that it must be something "awfully nice" or Mother and Father would never give it to their friends. So one day while Dad was still at the o ce and Mother was making a neighborly call. Little "Mr. Bright Fellow" hurried to the cellar, filled a glass with an aniseette and offered it to Mr. Preacher who was making a pastoral call. (Notice particularly that I did not say the good man took it). Somebody really ought to tip "Musolitch" off. (She is the chicken that Mrs. Mattie Campbell Lee of Seaton Place won at the enjoyable Mu-Co-Lit Club Barn Dance). She is letting herself get fatter and fatter every day. And with each extra pound she puts on, the hungry look in Mrs. Lee's husband's eyes grows wider and more pronounced. Now, if poor little "Musolitch" could only keep herself thin, she would not seem half as attractive, dressed up in a roasting pan. And her days on this earth might even be much longer. But as sleek and as fat as she looks today, there is really no telling what minute she will go the way of "Sir Thanksgiving Turkey." When the dressmaker designed the sky-blue organdie gown that lovely Helene Brooks (daughter of an Adjudicator in the U. S. Government Service) wore to the Bachelor-Benedict dance, she must have had one idea in her head (and 'twas surely all about ruffles). For, after she had fastened hundreds of tiny ruffles on the skirt, and too many to count on the bodice, there still were dozens more "frilling" around in her mind. So she took bits of the pale blue organdie and fashioned a warm little muff. Then, she tacked the rest of those ruffles on the front of it. And Helene plus all the ruffles made an ever so pretty picture. If you could go through life, without sleeping — but you can not. So, although Miss Emily Baer (just back from a Thanksgiving visit to New York) wanted to spend every minute on Broadway she had to hunt up Harlem every now and then in order, to snatch a nap. Emily's mother, Mrs. Leuise Baer, had come from Williamsport, Pa., to meet her. And with the aid of another relative, who resides in gay New York, the two of 'em promptly proceeded to view every bright spot around. Emily is now back at her desk (she is a clerk in the Washington schools) and what she does not know about "Porgy," "Dead End," "Jumbo," and two on three other big shows, would not fill a thimble. So, if you happen to run across Emily when you are trying your best to make haste, do not let her start narrating the events of her recent New York trip. There's something romantic about a candle-lighted dining room. If you do not believe it, take one long, dark winter evening and two tall, pinkish candles. Arrange the blazing tapers in new-fashioned, flower-filled holders and set them (properly spaced) on a well-laid dinner table. Seat a man and a maid at opposite ends of the shining board. He, in dinner coat, of course, she, in fluffy, ruffly chiffon; or maybe, trailing velvet. And if the rays of the candles are pink enough and the hearts of the couple are warm enough, a pretty romance will burst into bloom. Tried it twice myself, but it did not work either time. There was a reason, of course. You have got to have a heart to start with, and the thing in my breast could never qualify because it is only a plain old gazard. Mrs. Annie R. Watson of 1408 Hopkins Street, Northwest must know where there is a "wishing-well." A few short months ago she was hoping that Junior (small son of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Lancex McKnight) would soon have a baby sister to play with. And now look. On Thanksgiving day, Mrs Watson herself, Miss Lillian Davis (and her sister) and Attolney and Mrs. Arbrose Shief motored to Media, Pennsylvania to see the wee bit of a girl Mrs. Watson was wishing for. If you are anxious to know how many years it takes to make a lovely lady old, do not bother to old the venerable mother of Judge Armond Scott. For although that dear little body has had many a happy birthdays at Thanksgiving time, she is still ninety-three years young. So, of course, she HOW LULU BROWN WON THE TOWN OH LULU BROWN SHE'S AS DARK AS A HOUN! ALL THE BOYS MAKE FUN OF ME, I'M SO DARK. HONEY, AINT YOU EVER HEARD OF PALMER'S SKIN SUCCESS?

There is a lot of pretty chatter going the rounds about hats. It all started with Mrs. M. S. Whitfield of 1716 Eighth Street, Northwest. She went to New York and — but it is too long a tale for me to tell. Besides, it is really a treat to watch Mrs. Whitfield, herself, as she unfolds the dramatic plot. It has happened again. (I mean another wedding at the Washington's of 25 R Street, Northwest.) A few short months ago 'twas petite Theresa, who went smiling to the altar with Leon Galloway. And the other day Clarence (Theresa's older brother) went to an attractive home in Coleville, Md., where lived the lovable lass named Clara (Smith). He clasped his Clara by the hand, and with the aid of a preacher, soon turned her into a bride. Mrs. Georgia Lee, wife of William I. Lee (prominent in civic, legal and fraternal circles) will hardly write a letter to Santa Claus (she will probably leave that for "Billie" her fine young son to do). But if she does decide to pen one and itemize her wishes, here is hoping she will put at the head of the list "one brown print dress." And here's hoping further that when Santa scouts around and finds it, it will be as smart and truly becoming as the pretty brown print she wore to a recent "Harvest Home." It is always difficult to refuse any request Mrs. Blanche Holomand of Fairmont Street may make (on account of that sweet, disarming smile of hers!) "But, if she ever asks me to "read a poem" or something on a program she is arranging, I will tell her "No" if it slays me. For, if she really wants her program to make a definite hit, there would be no better way to do it than for Mrs. Holomand, herself" to get right up and deliver her own swell brand of reading. And if she is too busy to do so she can call on her smart little son, who is rapidly learning to be an interesting elocutionist like his lovely mother before him. THANKSGIVING VISITORS Mrs. E. H. Morton. 421 First Street, Northwest, entertained many out of town visitors at her home, Thanksgiving Day.

To make themselves less easily seen by scouting airplanes, soldiers are now dyeing their clothes the color of natural earth with a bark called abalo, the properties of which have just been discovered. The troops, led by General Makonnen, former Ethiopian minister to London, paraded before the emperor so dressed and the emperor exclaimed: "As the British originated khaki against the Boers so we have evolved this earth color against the Italians." Hand Driven Dynamos Use of radio on a wider scale has already begun. Wireless is expected to overcome the almost complete lack of communications. Where electricity does not exist the soldiers will generate current with hand-driven dynamos. A report received from the interior shows the emperor's call-to-arms reached the remoter parts of the empire only the second week in November. HERNDON (Continued from Page 1) with the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States, in that it is too vague and too indefinite to provide a sufficiently ascertainable standard of guilt, and is also in conflict with Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph 3, of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, for the same reason." He therefore ruled that Herron's conviction and sentence "are unconstitutional, illegal, void and of no effect." The judge observed, however, that "it would be a simple matter to enact a law that would protect the state and meet all Federal and state constitutional requirements," and added: "Many of our states have laws that have been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States, which give ample protection against doctrines, such as Herrdon was advocating." Leaves Prison Herrdon, leaving the city jail, announced that he would spend a week here and then go to New York, where he expects to arrange for a tour to the Pacific Coast, speaking on communism. He took with him an armful of books on fascism and the policies of Mussolini and on conditions in Ethiopia, which he said had been mailed to him by friends. His bail consisted of $8,000 in United States bonds, a part of the $15,000 bond posted while his case was on appeal.

ADDRESS Greensboro, N.C. (ANP)—Dr. Martin D. Jenkins, head of the division of Economics. A, and T. College, speaking of the Scrollers Club, pledges to Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity in chapel here Wednesday, said, "There are two types of scholars, those who have pushed back the fronters of learning, or "technical students"; and those characterized by "intellectual curiosity," who have applied their knowledge in the various fields of endeavor." Although the speaker considered the latter group the more important, he mentioned the following men of the race as being scholars in the intellectual sense, and yet who, belong to the first group: W. E. B. DuBois, Ernest E. Just, Carter G. Woodson, George Washington Carver, Monroe N. Work. Benjamin Brawley, William Braithwaite, William Star Jordan and Julian Lewis.

DOUGLASS (Continued from Page 1) partment of the Music School Settlement, in New York City; and a director of the Musical Art Club of this city. Notables Heard Him After devoting several years to the teaching of violin music, Mr. Douglass took to the concert stage and was hailed by musical critics as a "revelation" "a violinist of artistic skill." Many Presidents of the United States had been delightfully entertained by his masterful handling of the stringed instrument. Among those who heard him were Presidents William McKinley and William H. Taft. Frederick Douglass, himself a violinist of note; took a keen interest in his grandson, giving him lessons at the early age of 12 years. When he had learned to master the instrument; his grandfather purchased from Germany a violin at a cost of $1000. The violin was made four centuries; and was used by Mr. Douglass in his concerts which he conducted until he became ill. His private concert work took him into practically every state. He made frequent trips to the South, where he introduced classical music. Mr. Douglass was one of the pioneers of Highland Beach in Ann Arundel County, Md., and was one of the main property owners. The beach was established by his father and grandfather, and is now an incorporated town in the State of Maryland. At. H.U. Dedication At the dedication exercises of the newly-erected Frederick Douglass Memorial Hall at Howard University, Mr Douglass sat with the family of the man whose name the building bears. He presented to President Johnson a large picture of his grandfather, painted by the violinist. In 1907 he was married to Miss Fannie Howard, of Atlanta, Ga. Two children were born. Blanche E.; now deceased; and Frederick the third, a student in the Howard Medical School. Besides his wife and son, he is survived by a brother. Haley G., a teacher in Dunbar High School, and a host of other relatives and friends. Retired B. W. I. Police Officer Dies At 73 BARBADOS, B.W.I. —Frederick A.

COLONIAL AN The Finest Coal For Immediate Dial Nat "No Brickbats allowed—we, as a race don't need them' darn things." By WILLIAM (Wiggle) THOMAS A much shorter life was expect but you see, I fooled you, and you and you. I fooled myself. You expected the dearn ole Orchid garden to die out long before cool weather set in. Yeah, but I built a "hot house" over it, so it won't die. Instead, it is growing "sweeter" and with this issue of the plot, inaugurates a new feature. We tried it last week and it met with favor so we annex the informative, Blabbermouth. Now I believe there is always a bit of sentiment attached to such a ceremony as an inauguration, such as banquets and toasts and "pats on the back." Well, I'm conceited enough to pat my ownself on the back. I have a weenie in the ice box and here comes Henry (M). Ingram with his bottle, so thar! About this new feature—As your humble recorder of doings here and thar, I shall attempt to "dish" you bits of "Surprising Information" about everything and everybody, along all walks of life 'n' my work will be very pleasant if you help me as much in the future as you have in the past. I hope you'll do this for me. However, I'd like to suggest that we all be friends, so Blabbermouth will be here for the arrival of Santa Claus. He's coming to town, you know, 'n' a new year, 'n' Easter 'n' the Fourth 'n' Blabbermouth doesn't want to miss seeing nary bit of it. So, PEACE, dear snopers. MAY WE NEVER HAVE TO DRAG OUT OUR TRUSTY CANNONS. The Rev, Booker T. Medford, pastor of St. Paul A.M.E. Zion Church in Hickory N.C., has written a book of poems entitled "Lyrics of Life." The gentleman has no doubt surprised himself as well as countless others with the power and force exhibited in his works. This schibber has had the good fortune to be able to focus his orbs on a copy of "Lyrics of Life" and it is my honest conviction that its author will soar to the pennacle in the world of literature. Congrats, Rev. Medford. We're happy almost as much as you, and yours must be. , If I were Jay Jackson, the Fan Tan artist, I guess I'd have a "Harem On Canvas" of beautiful brown girls.

A certain lady around these 'ere pawts was rendering a bit of sane and sound advice in regard to another lady's supposedly great sacrifice in the carrying of insurance on relatives.

NEW YORK CITY—The Prophet K. Costonie interrupted his healing and evangelistic work in Harlem long enough Wednesday night to criticize the Annual Urban League Conference which ended a two day session here that night to point out that they had neglected to mention on their program the most important economic issue facing Negroes today nationally—the fact that their huge purchases of nationally advertised products was made from companies who hire but a handful of Negroes. He cited such concerns as the great tobacco companies, the national oil companies, the milk producers, coal and iron interests, bread companies, paper mills, lumber interests and scores of other industries whose products line the shelves of stores throughout the nation but against whom no protest has ever been made based on the fact that they hire proportionally few colored. Quoting from press reports of the conference Costonie before his huge crowd at Community Baptist Church in Harlem cited the millions spent yearly by the race for nationally advertised products. He said only scattered reference was made at the conference to real national buyers boycott movements. The conference, he said, mentioned scattered instances of A and P stores in Atlanta and other places but failed to present the issue of nation-wide boycott organization. Dalby JACK LLOYD, 67-year-old soldier of fortune, reporter and adventurer, who recently visited Norfolk. Va He said he will stowaway on a ship bound for the war scene within a few days. He was a member of the Foreign Legion which he said fought for Ethiopia against Italy in 1896. The legion was composed entirely of white men COLLEGE HEAD MAKES PLEA TO STOP LYNCHING James E. Shepard Asks Southern Governors To Fight Mobbings DURHAM, N.C. (ANP)—A plea to governors of Southern states to take a stand against lynching and protect prisoners at all costs which would eradicate the evil ard thou void the possibility of a federal anti-mob statute was voiced in a letter sent to each of them Monday by James E. Shepard, president of North Carolina College for Negroes. "I believe that a conference of governors such as you have every year could do an immense amount of good," Shepard stated, "especially if these executives dedicated themselves to the task of teaching their constituents the essential reason that lies in every act of surrender to a mob." Reviews Lynchings The writer reviewed the wave of lynching since the congressional filibuster on the Costigan-Wagner bill, pointed to the necessity of federal intervention to get back partially the citizenship rights of jury duty and suffrage, and stated he had begged governors and legislators to invest more money in No education in order to cut down crime. "If our Southern governors will take a stand against lynching and protect prisoners at any cost, this dreadful evil will soon be eradicated from American life and there will be no need of a federal anti-lynching law on the statute books—to needlessly add to unnecessary statutes and legislation which even the federal government is powerless to enforce, nor even has the desire to do so." Rev. William Lloyd Imes Leads Union Week of Prayer RICHMOND. Va. — Dr. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of the St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City, and one of the outstanding ministers of the country, conducted annual week of prayer which was held, this year, the week of December 2-6, at Union University. Dr. Imes, who has the distinction of being the first Negro to become president of the Alumni Association of Union Theological Seminary (Columbia University), is a strong and fearless leader of those liberal forces in New York City, which are seeking to better conditions for the Negro in Harlem. Ethiopian Army Foresees Italian Trick Warfare ADDIS ABABA. —Fearing a ruse by the Italian forces, the Ethiopian army failed to occupy Gerlogubi and Gorahai inits victory on, the Southern Front. Instead, the Ethiopian strategy of guerrilla warfare is beginning to have full play against Italy's partly demoralized fascist invaders. An Italian force of 500 was ambushed on the Northern front suffering a loss of fifty men. The remainder of the soldiers fled, leaving both ammunition and food which were seized by the Ethiopian defense for its own use. It is reported that the Ethiopians lost 15 men. The rainy season is beginning near here and it is known that rains play havoc with Italian troop maneuvers. According to the average delinquent tax list, "Mr. Unknown" is certainly behind in the game.

Convenient Terms Arranged NACHMAN “You’ll Always Do Better Here” 512 9TH STREET N. W. DR. G. D. WILLIAMS "ILLEGAL" CASE TO BE TRIED "Bulldog" Williams, Well Known Former Athlete, Pleads His Innocence NEW YORK CITY (UNP)—Dr. George D. (Bulldog) Williams, former widely known athlete, did not perform an illegal operation, as charged by officials representing Miss Louise Fairchild, 26, of 226 Fort Washington Avenue, who died three weeks ago, allegedly as the result of such an operation. His counsel, Assemblyman W. T. Andrews said this but no more than interviewed at his 125th office Wednesday. Although telling confident in his client's case, he declined to give a hint of defense Dr. Williams would be. A wide circle of friends of Dr. Williams who form a major section of New York society are interested in the case. Dr. Williams' popularity has had the effect of making his friends rally to his support. The well known physician who has has been free under $2,500 bail on the charge since two weeks ago declined to make any statement to the press when contacted at his office, 355 W. 145th Street, Wednesday. He referred all inquiries to his lawyer. Assemblyman Andrews said the case would come up again in Magistrate's Court during this month. First arrested October 21 when officials found Miss Fairchild suffering from effects of an illegal operation and arraigned in Washington Heights Court, October 24. he was held in $1,000 bail pending investigation. Upon her death he was recalled and bail raised to $2,500. CHRISTMAS 1935 DOC IRWIN TURNER Alabama Methodists Want Bishop Grant BESSEMER, Ala. (By Page M. Beverly for ANP) — That the African Methodists constituting the membership of the West Alabama Conference of the denomination are in hearty accord with the program being carried out under the direction of the presiding Bishop, the Right Rev.

Cardozo Night Students Assure a Merry Christmas to 266 Children An appeal by the Federation of Parent-Teacher Association last week met a ready response in the student council of Cardozo Night High School. The appeal was for garments and shoes for 266 children in Divisions 10-13 who have not been attending school because of insufficient clothing. Council representatives discussel the situation in their home rooms, with the result that $65.74 in cash and 395 articles of clothing were donated by students and faculty members. A letter from the Rev. J. D. Pair, who, as president of the federation received the donations, calls this response of Cardozo Night High School "a fine expression of the character education program which your institution typifies." On December 19, the last night before the Christmas holidays, Cardozo students will hold their annual Christmas assembly. This year a carol service will be conducted by Miss Virginia L. Williams, teacher in charge of music appreciation courses. A feature of the assembly will be an orchestra made up of night school students. Following the assembly program, there will be two socials: one in the gymnasium for dancing; the other in the library for students who perfer games and other entertainment. The postgraduate forum was addressed on December 5, by Professor Herring of Howard University. The talk on art was illustrated by lantern slides.

Hampton's Oldest Graduate Celebrates Birthday MT. MEIGS, Ala. (ANP) - Citizens here joined with the faculty of the People's Village School last Tuesday to pay homage to Miss Georgia Washington the founder and principal of the institution on her 77th birthday. Miss Washington, who is one of the oldest graduates of Hampton Institute having graduated in the class of '82, came to this section 44 years ago and established the institution which she is yet head of and under her direction has grown from a one-room—one teacher school to a recognized high school.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 Enemies Within the Lines No war between parties determined to dominate and others trying to secure freedom and security ever was free of enemies within the lines. That is a reflection of life itself. In the midst of the fight to live we are confronted by death. But the "Conquest of Fear" is the beginning of progress. Fortunately for men, they have the means at hand to overcome their one enemy. It was truly said, "Know the truth and it will make you free." Of what? Ignorance, of course, for that breeds fear, superstition, inertia, apathy and the whole host of enemies behind the lines. By simply asking questions with the eyes, sense of touch, ears, skin, hair, nails, tongue and the like, men may get and have acquired knowledge of the real outside world. Patiently through centuries men have passed on that accumulated knowledge as ammunition against death. Tools, machines, scientific aids, medicines, arts and industries have piled up the force against force to mountainous proportions. Records of human behavior have been left through the ages by picture, tower and book. We have it all around and before us, but we stand paralyzed by the possibility of hunger, or chill, or we lie disabled while striving to work, or walk around crippled because of failure somewhere or somehow to apply the knowledge. WHY? Because everything dead generations of men have accumulated is held in ownership by someone else. Held by a few in reality, and they demand certain tokens in exchange for it. If you have them not, you must die. When the owners die, they leave it to their heirs, to start off with advantages which you may never have. This system has grown with the years. Men have but slowly learned to organize and combine their forces to combat it and assure themselves a decent chance in the battle of life. Surely a race of people that will not read, will not listen, that adds from its own superstition some error to every fact it takes, that places pride, anger, ambition for some foolish end, and envy of every step made by others of its one blood and tradition, is condemned before it starts. We out-preach any minister, out-prescribe any doctor, out-plan any engineer, out-scheme any financier, out-run any imaginary danger and out-sit any permanent object on earth. Having been freed by a combination of circumstances with which some of us combined, we so love bondage that we refuse to free ourselves from the only slavery—ignorance; and the ignorance that is our greatest enemy is the belief that we know. There is a war on, and either we side with those who are fighting to make America a better and more secure place in which to live, or we are doomed. Senator Borah Press and citizens were caught napping and woke in surprise when "Bluffer" Bill Borah boldly announced that he would veto any anti-lynching bill, if he were president. The Senator is a Constitutionalist, and also consistent. He argued that the Fifteenth Amendment ought to be repealed, before one of our mass meetings. He thinks in terms of an America of the horseback riding days. He represents one of the wealthiest states of the Union, with each person worth over $4,000, along with the dwellers in Nevada, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota and Montana. The Senator has a constituency of over four hundred thousand native whites, thirty thousand foreign-born residents and only 600 colored. Hence he thinks as any white man thinks undisturbed about the Negro question. The Senator thinks as any man does, of any color, who knows what America means and fails to understand people calling themselves American citizens and standing idle while other men lynch them to death as a class. No Westerner understands that kind of citizenship. Out beyond the stale air of older civilization men feel and act as Patrick Henry spoke in 1776: "Is life so sweet, or peace so dear as to be purchased at the price of chains? I care not what other men may think; give me liberty or give me death!" Senator Borah thinks of law as governing disputes about property, not about granting to men attributes which they breathe with the air, and without which they, after fighting, would be willing to die. Senator Borah, like Coriolanus in one of Shakespeare's plays, cannot think of men who pray for deliverance, "with arms in their hands," nor plead for the vote and protection against murderers in places where they outnumber the perpetrators of the deeds. Colored citizens ought to know when to cry out loud about flagrant denial of privileges, such as adequate schools and decent civic conditions which other men are paid to administer for the whole people, and when to call in their neighbors and do gun-battle to the death in defense of their rights purchased by blood and sacrifice. No wonder they do not understand how daughters shoot white fathers and sons; likewise, mothers, sons and husbands and wives, all around us in America. That is the white man's native reaction to invasion of private rights in his life. That is the reason for the coroner and the coroner's jury, and that is what is denied the Negro when lynched. It is thus white men kill "dogs," but not weaponless and defenseless white men. An anti-lynching bill will not be worth the paper to print it. The Concitation gives men all the rights they need. American Negroes need to learn the lesson taught by the Hebrews both in the Bible and in Germany: "Go forward to fulfill the destiny that is within you, leaving the final outcome to Jahweb!" Negroes Under Roosevelt (From The Modern Thinker) In 1932 N. second Roosevelt is true Evisner on Negrovement of Columbia has been tradition and complex which place is in a stay within offers no solom, for it so and hurt not all extremes down in please. Furthermore not concern Roosevelt is the rest. To small position for s controlling not necessary of the tradit because Negro problem in point Negro to hush them hush Negroes There is a sentent admini lert L. Vann General; Dr recorder of Oxley. All of there by get Democratic they must powers which though it m people. When Art DePriest. Neition on him Democratic there was so imagine they said: "A great n to raise a columbia make friends make as good is in Washin District of Onoise. regar baked, half make a corr of you to get a colored mistake to bgress to repent This may with Mr. M. so. Further Negroes in tionary, and bombarding In 1932 Negroes turned toward the second Roosevelt, but to no success is true Eugene Kinckle Jones is ad user on Negro affairs in the Department of Commerce, but Mr. Jones's face has been fixed by the American tradition and that great enslaving complex which states that the Negro's face is in a certain spot, and he must stay within it. Roosevelt's New Deal offers no solution to the Negro's problem, for it seeks to please all elements and hurt none. It seeks to reconcile all extremes and make the bad lie down in pleasant dreams with the good. Furthermore, the Negro problem does not concern American Presidents, and Roosevelt is no different from any one rest. They will appoint Negroes to small positions, but only as compensation for soliciting Negro votes and controlling the Negro masses. It is not necessary for any of them to go out of the traditional way to help Negroes because Negroes have never been a real problem in America. They will appoint Negroes to small positions only to hush them up, and it is very easy to rush Negroes. There is a black cabinet in the president administration composed of Robert L. Vann, assistant to the Attorney General; Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, and Lawrence A. Axley. All of these men won their way here by getting Negro votes for the democratic party, and whatever they must keep their eyes upon the flowers which put them there, even though it may be against their own people. When Arthur D. Mitchell succeeded DePriest, Negroes centered their attention on him. He was the first Negro democratic Congressman. Surely there was something he could do! But imagine their surprise when Mitchell said: "A great number of us have the idea to raise a rough-house in the District of Columbia; but our first duty is to make friends there, and my duty is to make as good a Congressman as there is in Washington. I did not go to the district of Columba to make a lot of noise, regardless of what the half-haked, half-informed say... I want to make a correction. I don't want any if you to get the idea that I represent colored district in Chicago. It's a mistake to believe that I am in Congress to represent my race." This may not be a serious matter with Mr. Mitchell, but Negroes think so. Furthermore, Mitchell, like most Negroes in politics, is extremely reactionary, and he is now wasting his time combarding the communists. In 1932 Negroes turned toward the second Roosevelt, but to no success. It is true Eugene Kinckle Jones is adviser on Negro affairs in the Department of Commerce, but Mr. Jones's place has been fixed by the American tradition and that great enslaving complex which states that the Negro's place is in a certain spot, and he must stay within it. Roosevelt's New Deal offers no solution to the Negro's problem, for it seeks to please all elements and hurt none. It seeks to reconcile all extremes and make the bad lie down in pleasant dreams with the good. Furthermore, the Negro problem does not concern American Presidents, and Roosevelt is no different from any of the rest. They will appoint Negroes to small positions, but only as compensation for soliciting Negro votes and controlling the Negro masses. It is not necessary for any of them to go out of the traditional way to help Negroes because Negroes have never been a real problem in America. They will appoint Negroes to small positions only to hush them up, and it is very easy to hush Negroes. There is a black cabinet in the present administration composed of Robert L. Vann, assistant to the Attorney General; Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, and Lawrence A. Oxley. All of these men won their way there by getting Negro votes for the Democratic party, and whatever they do they must keep their eyes upon the powers which put them there, even though it may be against their own people. When Arthur D. Mitchell succeeded DePriest. Negroes centered their attention on him. He was the first Negro Democratic Congressman. Surely, there was something he could do! But imagine their surprise when Mitchell said: "A great number of us have the idea to raise a rough-house in the District of Columbia; but our first duty is to make friends there, and my duty is to make as good a Congressman as there is in Washington. I did not go to the District of Columba to make a lot of noise, regardless of what the half-baked, half-informed sav...I want to make a correction. I don't want any of you to get the idea that I represent a colored district in Chicago. It's a mistake to believe that I am in Congress to represent my race." This may not be a serious matter with Mr. Mitchell, but Negroes think so. Furthermore, Mitchell, like most Negroes in politics, is extremely reactionary, and he is now wasting his time bombarding the communists.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE Kelly Miller Discusses National or Local Control of Unemployment? President Roosevelt has stated that as soon as possible the burden of relief and unemployment will be relegated to the states where, under normal circumstances, they belong. Ex-President Hoover makes the handling of relief by the Federal government the basis of sharp criticism of the New Deal, which he contends, supplants rugged individuality by regimentation which cuts the nerve of initiative and enterprise. Even the bitterest partisan will not affect to doubt that it was necessary for the Federal government to undertake this task in the midst of the emergency in which the nation was engulfed. It has been the practice from time immemorial that when any state, or regions of states, suffered a calamity with which they were not able to cope, the Federal government has always furnished succor and temporary relief. In line with this policy, President Coolidge dispatched Mr. Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, to dispense national aid to the sufferers of the flooded area, deluged by the overflow of the Mississippi River. The depression which Roosevelt inherited, was not of local but national origin. Indeed, Mr. Hoover himself explained that the cause was world wide. The depression acquired a magnitude and momentum wholly beyond the power of states of municipalities to control. Federal relief was the only available remedy. When the depression is lifted and the necessity of relief reduced, so that it can be handled locally, all are agreed that the burden should be shifted from Federal to local shoulders.

ROOSEVELT HAS SEEMED FAIR AND IMPARTIAL But when President Roosevelt engaged to put this shift of burden into execution, the Mayors of a hundred cities met in conference and declared that they were unable to meet the requirements at the present time. Whereupon, they were assured by President Roosevelt that American citizens would not be allowed to starve so long as the Federal government was able to prevent that calamity by direct or indirect relief. The Negro is keenly interested in this question. He constitutes a disproportionate number of those on the unemployment list and the relief roll. He will be the last to be absorbed in industry, if and when the industrial recovery takes place. Under Federal control of the relief funds, the black contingent has shared with the whites, with at least some semblance of equality. It will be recalled that one of President Hoover's chief claims upon the support of the Negro vote in 1932 was that while in charge of the flood relief in the Mississippi Valley, he insisted that the Negro should receive fair and equitable treatment.

Secretary Ickes and Mr. Hopkins, who are in charge of the Federal project, both by way of administering relief and affording public work for the unemployed, have and do stoutly maintain that their offices have been operated without prejudice or partisanality on account of race or color. Their claims are substantially supported by the relative number of those listed on public relief and public works. Should this burden of relief and unemployment be shifted to the states, the heaviest weight would fall upon the South which is least able to sustain it. There the Negroes are found in larger proportionate numbers and subjected to differentiated treatment as part of the accepted modes of that section.

SOUTHERN STATES WILL IGNORE THE NEGROES But according to the general notions of that section, every white man must be provided for before any Negro is considered. The Negro will stand little of fair or just distribution under local administration of relief agencies. Therefore, it behooves him to use whatever influence or persuasion the race may possess to have the disposition of funds allocated for this purpose remain in the hands of Federal authority rather than to shift it to the several states. The Negro's political, economic and social progress has been due, mainly, to the agrandiament of Federal power over states rights. It was by the exercise of national, and not local power, that the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were enacted. The spirit and intent of these amendments as far as they have been effective, have been maintained by the assertion of national authority over protest of the defenders of the doctrine of states rights. The Negro becomes the beneficiary of the New Deal in that it extends Federal control to the domain of business and industry. How much better chance has the race in the Post Office, under Federal control than in the railroad, manipulated by private hands? Although Federal control may not assure him absolute equality of treatment, yet he finds a far better chance than would be his lot under provincial local prescription. The Parties are not exchanging attitudes as of the centralized authority versus states rights. The Democratic Party, which has traditionally stood for a weak central and strong local government, has become the champion of Federal control extending over a wider and wider field of industrial and economic life. On the other hand, the traditional Republican Party of which ex-President Hoover is the titular head and orthodox spokesman, is not clamoring for the lessening of centralized control and returning to states rights and local sovereignty. Between the two schools of contention, the Negro has no choice. Every consideration or enlightenment self-interest alignes him on the side of centralized authority as advocated by the New Deal. These tubular instruments are mechanically designed for signals of warning instead of pitch-pipes for a midnight brass band. Motorists who practice such abuses and, seemingly, have not the ability to think of the tremendous harm and annoyance caused by such, should be made to be considerate of others. A few stiff fines would do much to alleviate this unnecessary noise after midnight which is so detrimental to a good night's rest. Citizens should protest long and loudly until the ears of our city officials have been reached and some action is taken to curb this practice.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVE DECEMBER 6.1935 THE GOOD SA Calvin Says- By FLOYD J. CALVIN Italy Is Squeezed. The war in Ethiopia, now in its ninth week, is taking a new turn, Italy is being "squeezed" by other nations—51 of them—not directly involved in the conflict. How comes it, then, that Italy is being squeezed, not by her foe, which she seeks to subjugate, by "outsiders" who apparently have nothing to do with the fight? If a Rip Van Winkle who fell asleep at the turn of the present century could suddenly awake, he would doubtless be puzzled by this present European and East African situation. But those who lived through the World War and its aftermath are breathlessly awaiting developments each day, to see if the ideal of the "New Internationalism" will survive The point is, Italy herself helped to the league of the Nations, by which, it was hoped, such needless adventures as Mussolini is now embarked upon could be prevented. The League States agreed if any member violated the rules of the covenant, the other members would be obliged to combine against the aggressor member and attempt to strangle him back to reason—if such an anomalous statement may be permitted. Now Italy finds herself on the opposite side of the fence from her sister members of the league. Pressure is being applied to ston Mussolini by cutting off certain necessary implements of war. Mussolini, so far, is defiant, but the odds are against him. They are 51 to 1. As league sanctions were applied. Ethiopia began a determined counter attack. "Ethiopians Repel Foe at Sasa Bane. Massacring Many; Capture 63 of 70 Trucks in Ambush and Kill Occupants. the Survivors Fleeing." This news within three days after the league swung into action. Indeed, It is being squeezed both ways. Brisbane Travels. The notoriously prejudiced Arthur Brisbane, chief Hearst editorial writer, is off on one of his frequent tours. Going south from Washington, Brisbane observes: "Two small girls have just seen Washington's new giant buildings, of beautiful marble granite. And, next morning, a Negro cotton picker's cabin with loose boards replacing windowpanes long since gone, and a roof that could not keep out rain. You think of the difference between those t h a t spend and those that earn." What Negroes will think of is the fact that Arthur Brisbane never sees anything good or decent they do or represent. This conceived Nordic, glorying in the whiteness of his skin because it is white, and hating all other peoples who are not like himself, is the arch-enemy of tolerance, good will, and the principles which will one day make this country really safe for all the people. On this point Brisbane quotes his favorite biologist: "If you made all men really equal maintained the unfortunate, unfit, we'll fed, plentifully breeding, with scientific medical care to keep their innumerable children alive, you would breed a great nation of morons." Arthur Brisbane worships the God of Might. He believes that Might makes Right. He is not impressed when the humble and lowly plead for an opportunity to live. This country is fortunate, indeed in that it is not being run by thinkers of the Brisbane type. New Market Guide The importance of the Negro market is shown by the inclusion of the percentage of Negro population in cities listed in the Market Guide for 1936 just published by Editor and Publisher. To illustrate, let us quote the Guide on Montgobery, Alabama, located in Montgomery County: "Population: (1930) U. S. Census, County 98.61; city corporate limits: 66.079; suburban area included 300,000. Retail Trading Area: radius in miles, north, 50; south, 50; east, 50; west, 50; most important cities and municipalities in this area are: Selma Troy, Dothan, Greenville, Analysis of City Population: Native White, 60 per cent; Foreign Born, 7.8 per cent; Negroes, 38.2 per cent. Families 13,000; Dwellings, 12,000.12 It is interesting to note that Wilberforce, Ohio, is the only Negro community mentioned in the Guide, although it is not mentioned as a Negro community; and it is also interesting to note that the Atlanta Daily World is ignored in listing Atlanta Georgia, daily newspapers. Harlem fares better than any other Negro district in the Guide, Eighth Avenue and 125th Street, Lenox Avenue at 125th, 135th, and 145th Streets are listed under "Principal Shopping Districts of Manhattan." The Market Guide is "The space buyers' key to 1,500 city and town markets in the United States and Canada," and "a service to general advertisers, advertising and sales executives, advertising agencies and commercial organizations. Important Critics Speak "Stage." the high class (thirty-five cent) "magazine of after dark entertainment," published in New York. carries some interesting comments on "our group" on Broadway. James Reid Parker, in the October number, said of Ethel Waters: "Her genial presence enlives the goings-on at the Winter Garden to a high degree, especially when she undertakes rhythmic eccentricities of "Hottentot Potentate"." In the November number, Marcia Davenport and Ruth Woodbury Sedgwick, writing on "Porgy and Bess" in an article entitled "Rhansody in Black." say: "A few minutes after the curtain rises on Porgy and Bess the secure realization overtakes the listener that he is hearing an opera. Never mind at the moment whether it is American, Negro, Folk, or otherwise, catalogued. It is opera. It has a chemical quality of conviction and genuineness and importance, a strong underlying security in its creation by a composer of genius and honesty and skill." BOOKS C. G. Woodson says that the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History is increasing interest in the dramatization of the Negro. Recently the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has been called upon for assistance in the study of the Negro and the drama. At present as many as five persons are producing dissertations in this field. Three of them are white. This does not mean that the Negro is not interested in himself, but that he has not awakened as rapidly as some of our white friends to realize the usual possibilities in this sphere. The field has long been neglected and persons in quest for new tasks find this work very inviting. All of these writers, however, do not approach the task from the same point of view. Two investigators are making a special study of the Negro's own effort to dramatize his history, and this research has resulted in a collection of more than one hundred and fifty plays of this kind. Others are being discovered, and will add further to the story of the Negro in the drama. Here the Negro must become busy himself, however, that this phase of the past may be presented in its proper light rather that distorted as so many aspects of the past of the Negro have been by writers of other races. It should be noted, however that in spite of this activity most of these persons concerned with the Negro in the drama restrict themselves mainly to America. They are not directing sufficient atten- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Observations on the Passing Parade BY CHARLES M. THOMAS ROOSEVELT or RELAPSE People unfamiliar with political history wonder why the G.O.P. fails to present any program in its opposition to the re-election of President Roosevelt. They as well as the G.O.P. may not know it but the United States has passed out of the wet-diaper stage which brought the G.O.P. into existence, just as it passed out of the stage in which the old Federalist and later the Whig party came into power. Although Hoover claimed to represent "rugged individualism" by which men did what their abilities and will made possible, he was acting as a "collectivist" because he had to as chief executive of a nation of people who had become complexly interrelated It must be remembered that Mr. Hoover was actually a Democrat, chosen by the G.O.P. because he had the best selling points for votes. Party labels mean little when a nation changes its political-economic life. So Senator Borah is exactly the kind of Republican that Webster was when he hoped to be chosen as presidential candidate, a democratic-republican because he senses the drift but does not understand the basic forces. President Roosevelt, however, is just the man needed for a transition stage in national life and polity. He knows how to "state a case" so that the people feel that he expresses their fundamental aim for social security. He dares to act and experiment. He dares to take the lead. He believes in America and in himself. He is actually the chief-executive and speaks to Congress as for the whole people and their welfare rather than for some special interests, or because of some outworn platitudes. He has the wisdom to take advice from men and women who know political history and the effects of the social tion to the Negro as he has figured in the drama in Europe. Because' of the prominence of the Negro in the medieval, ancient and modern times, he figured in the drama of the city-states of Italy, especially Venice, as is evidenced by Othelo, which was based on a novel written by Cinthio. Bickerstaffe, Cumberdland Southern Sterne, Browning and others in England took up the same theme. Unusually interesting is the Negro in the earlier romances such as the Song of Roland, Arthurian Romances, and the Knights of the Round Table, popular mainly on the European continent The managers of our present-day theaters catering to Negroes might well direct attention to the use made of the Negro in the Spanish theater of the seventeenth century as it was dominated by Lope de Vega and Calderon. In almost all of their plays the Negro was staged to represent the Oriental element in the drama as the Spanish understood the civilization of Ethiopia, and its contact with other countries around the Mediterranean. The Spaniards, like other Europeans, made use of the story of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon. "In the Spanish plays of the seventeenth century, moreover, the Negroes were staged as popular musicians, bringing to Spain an impetus to art which was gladly welcomed in that quarter. We should take note also of the fine work which is being done, and that it may be further extended the public should give honorable mention to those who have seriously taken up this task. We should note the collection by Alain Locke and Montgomery Gregory entitled "Plays From Negro Life:" the popular plays of Randolph Edmonds, of Dillard University, and the collection made available by Willis Richardson under the title of "Plays and Pageants from the Life of the Negro." Other plays, separately printed, have been of much service in working toward the same end. In Mrs. Maud Cuney-Hare's book titled "Negro Musicians and Their Music," moreover, there is also a great deal about the Negro in the drama, especially in the musical comedy. The history of the Negro in music cannot be written without bordering upon and giving considerable space to what he has done in the dramatization of his own life. Most of this runs into what may be considered caricature, but the public will enjoy Mrs. Hare's summary of the careers of such persons as Ernest Hogan, Robert Cole, Rosamond Johnson, George Walker and Bert Williams. Of many others who have undertaken the dramatization of a different sort, this book treats in detail and will prove to be a most informing production. It is very significant that Gertrude Parthenia McBrown, in a collection of children's poems, "The Picture Poevty Book" has undertaken to make these poems dramatic, and the illustrations by Lois Mallou Jones are worked out with that same thought in mind. Children will enjoy reading these productions and will easily find themselves dramatizing them spontaneously in their own way. Great credit is due the authors and the publishers for beginning the production of this juvenile literature which has long been in demand. Negroes are actors to the manner born. Why not start them in this direction when they are young? Mr. Richardson with his assistance of Mae Miller has just produced another collection of plays entitled "Negro History in Thirteen Plays." This last mentioned production undertakes to connect the little theater movement more closely with the effort to popularize the study of the Negro as the tass' sciences and psychology, thus keeping abreast of the current. He has caused to be enacted a mass of correlated legislation which alters the complex relations brought into play by our industrial progress as it has become an integrated system of people made one body by modern communication. To-day, "men expect the State to do for them what ought to be done but they can not do for themselves," and that is true democratic governmental philosophy, long ago laid down by the venerable Dr Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook. Fortunately there is not a man acceptable to the G.O.P. or any other party who represents "collective initiative" as does Franklin D. Roosevelt. Those who do represent it in other parties, lean too far "left" for American people or affairs. The sensitive social conscience of President Roosevelt leads him to preserve the occillation from "Right" to "Left" vital to keeping national balance in this age of accelerated social movement in America. Rigidity would mean revolution, for capital is too resourceful to stand depletion and the people too wade awake to stand a return to former methods of "devil take the hindmost." Taking a long view of political history as we did when we predicted the election of Calvin Coolidge, even when he was just Governor of Massachusetts, and later of Herbert Hoover because the people had confidence only in an engineer who might rescue them from the "normalcy" with which the G.O.P. had oiled its way into power, we now say to the voters of this country. "IT IS ROOSEVELT or RELAPSE!" We are moving as in a national airplane, through bad weather and change of pilots while flying will make happy landing impossible. has been undertaken by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. These playwrights have made the book conform in every respect with its title. In the first place the book undertakes to dramatize the history of the Negro in Africa. It chooses as the ideal for Africa. Samory, the founder of the Wasulu Empire in the Soudan, the African patriot, who organized his people for the defense of their native soil and combatted the French in the Soudan for more than a generation. Next comes the dramatization of Menelik as the savior of Abyssinia. the great Emperor of that country and the hero in the annihilation of the Italians in Adowa, as a result of which Ethiopia became an independent nation. Taking up the role of the Negro N Europe, one of these playwrights presents the Elder Dumas in France, dramatized in all of the color of the Latin atmosphere. Presenting another aspect of the history of the Negro the authors have dramatized his role in America with plays on Crispus Attucks, suffering the martyrdom in the Boston massacre; Nat Turner-leadig his people in the tragic movement for freedom; William and Ellen Craft, making the dash from slavery to freedom; Sojourner Truth, dealing a death blow to the institution of slavery; Frederick Douglass, the emancipated slave, demonstrating from the rostrum what the bondman was and what, with opportunity he could become. In these dramatizations, moreover, other parts of America in which the Negroes have conspicuously figured have not been neglected. There is one play based upon the insurrection in Haiti under the title of "Genifede." the daughter of Toussaint Louverture, and still another dealing with that same movement for liberation entitled "Christophe's Daughters." Approaching nearer our day, Willis Richardson has projected in play the dashing campaign conducted by Antonno Maceo in the destruction of the Spanish power in Cuba. Evidently, then, every phase of the history of the Negro, both in Africa, Europe and America has been touched. While these playwrights have not reached the high level of those who master the mechanics of the stage and may not have portrayed every important aspect of the past of the Negro, they have nevertheless set a standard which will do much in directing attention to this inviting field. —C.

OVERTON THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1935 SOUTH AFRICA LIMITS NATIVE SCHOOL ROLLS SOUTH AFRICA LIMITS NATIVE SCHOOL ROLLS JOHANNESBURG. South Africa. — Education of Negro children is to be further curtailed under new Nazi-like regulations of the Education Department limiting student attendance in each jim-crow native school to 450. From 1925 to 1935 the number of native children enrolled in the schools increased rapidly, with no appointment of additional teachers. As a result a single native teacher, today, instructs as many as ninety pupils. The new rules will prevent hundreds of native children from receiving even the limited education now vouchsafed them. The Director of Education has suggested 500 new classrooms. The department itself will not make appropriations for this purpose however, but leaves it to the missionary societies and "anyone else interested in native education."

Not: that this writer is pre- dicting ‘or even anticipating a victory over the Brown Blast- er od) have no idea that Paulino, as fearless as he is Pointed out to be, is any match for the pride and joy of Michigan’s Detroit. 1 do not believe Uzcudun has any better chance of stopping ‘Louis—or coming close to it ‘—than has Mickey Mouse. I don’t believe the fight will go the route. Bul. there’s more than just the winning or losing of a prize fight, whether you know itt or not. And that's just where the hitch comes. Louis is going into the ring at Madison Square Garden this Friday night against the toughest man now in train- ing. This writer is in no po- sition to testify as to the widely-exploited — gameness of the Bomber’s opponent, but the records show him to be hard of hide and worthy of leather. There are tales on tales of how unafraid Paulino will be when he climbs through the ropes at the West Forty- ninth Street Emporium — something that was not true of a fistful of Louis's other opponents. But courageous (which in this case is fool- ish) or not, it is an estab- lished fact that Uzcudun is a hard nut. And that’s where we horn in to make our observation. A fighter’s hands are his for- tune. If he smashes one, or both, of them, he casts aside his means of looking at the worrld through rose-colored glasses. In other words, brittle hands have ended the careers of many great fight- ers of the past; so why should they not be guarded against by present-day gladiators. Louis is going to hit the Basque; there is no doubt of that. And, if tales of his courage are lived up to, Paul- ino will remain upright for several rounds. .Baer . stood up four rounds, and Louis hit him with the frequency of a machine-gun. .Joe hits hard. He hits hard and often. And while the man on. the receir- ing end may believe that the Bomber is using a cast-iron glove, it is really no more than ordinary box-glove leather. ._ Striking a man like Paul- ino continually on tha top of his head and on a shell of forearms and elbows is likely to prove disastrous, . Louis can hurt his hands... .. ., Paulino’s style is very sim- ilar to that of Natie Brown, who gave the Detroit Dyna. miter his hardest fight to date. True, he doesn’t hit hard enough to knock a ten- nis ball over the net. In other words, Uzcudun is just the opposite of the “he car dish it out but can’t take it” srack. The Bounding Basque CAN TAKE IT. Harry Wills rues the day he brittled his hands on some ‘==10wn novice he agreed te meet on the way up.

Ethiopian Victories Cause Panic in Italian Staff MAKALE, Ethiopia (Special to CNA)—Following the tremendous victories of the Ethiopian defense forces on the Northern and Southern fronts last week, the Italian fascist generals are panicky. General Petro Badoglio, who replaced General De Bono as chief of Staff and Mussolini's right hand man, is attempting to set up an effective defense against the devastating guerrilla attacks from the Ethiopian sharpshooters. These attacks come most unexpectedly and usually at night, depriving the war-weary Italian troops of rest and relaxation.

Occupational Schools Have been Failure, Oxley Tells Conference Labor Chief Cites Statistics to Prove His Claim In Address to National Occupational Conference at Atlanta University Special to the Tribune ATLANTA — Indications that schools for the training of skilled and semi-skilled Negro industrial workers have been a failure, were pointed out by Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, chief, division of Negro Labor, U. S. Department of Labor, in delivering the keynote address before the National Occupational Conference at Atlanta University, this morning. The fact that nearly all of the schools which were established for such purposes in the late nineteenth century have today become liberal arts colleges or teachers' colleges, was pointed out by Oxley has proof of his assertion. Further substantiating his claim, the labor chief pointed to statistics from the United States Employment Service, Department of Labor. According to Oxley, figures show that in June, 1936, there were 19,283 Negro applicants for jobs whose regular occupations were in domestic and personal service; and 12,802 applicants who were industrial workers. Of the 19,283 agricultural applicants, 3,321 were placed, or 16.75 percent of those applying. Of the 30,971 domestic and personal servants applying, 7,070 were placed or 32.82 percent. But of the 12,302 industrial applicants only 1,037 were placed, or only 8.42 per cent, he pointed out. "These figures would seem to indicate that in spite of recent upswing in industry in the United States the employment opportunities for Negroes in industry have been less than for Negroes in agriculture and domestic service. This certainly indicates that an occupational program based upon the equipment of Negroes for industry rather than for other fields is badly off in its social and economic orientation." Oxley said. Public Support An informed public opinion as will insist upon adequate support of the public services and upon administration of these services free from political interference and built upon the sole basis of ability to serve, would help solve the problem, the speaker told the conference. The task of arousing such an opinion was placed on the shoulders of the National government, private agencies, and other groups of men and women, including the advancement of social welfare in their objectives. "The obligations of citizenship for the general welfare include both support of public services of this character and assistance in the maintenance of those private services of a preventive and remedial nature which are also required," Oxley said. No program which has for its purpose adequate occupational adjustment of the Negro worker can be successful unless local co-operating agencies can be made immune from political interference, and equipped with qualified leadership and personnel, the conference was told. "Public services and private agencies are vehicles of collective action which must be strengthened by every means within our power if the destiny of the Negro, along with that of other workers in America, is to find fruition in a happier, more wholesome and productive occupation experience," the speaker said. Fined for Resisting Attack ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (CNA) — For taking a seat in the white section of a street car and "talking back" when she was ordered out by the motorman, Mrs. Selena Williams was charged with disorderly conduct and sentenced to 50 days in jail.

Holds Balance of Power in Oil Embargo NEW YORK. — The possibilities of stopping the oil supply to faseist Italy is placed squarely up to the United States, according to. the latest developments around the threatened oil embargo against the Mussolini regime. Although the League of Nations, under pressure from the Soviet Union, which is backed by Rumania, is now nearing agreement on the oil embargo, the United States has thus far refused its cooperation. If sanctions are extended to oil, it means that fifty nations in this League of Nations, immediately cut off shipments to Italy. However, unless the cooperation of the United States is obtained, the embargo will be considerably weakened Ten Among Senior Group at Colorado High COLORADO SPRINGS. (Bv Alice B.

PRESIDENT IS URGED TO HELP ALL National Religion, Labor Foundation, Urge Roosevelt To Forsake Palliatives NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Speaking for the National Religion and Labor Foundation, 45 church leaders wrote president Roosevelt, urging him to adopt "drastic steps to raise the standard of living of all people to the level made possible by our potential resources." The action of the religious group was in reply to the President's letter to the clergy requesting "counsel and advice" related to the ways in which "our government can best serve our people." The religious leaders further urged the President, to forsake "palliatives" and follow a constructive program of social reorganization including cooperative distribution of consumer's goods, nationalization of basic industries, and support of trade union organization. The National Religion and Labor Foundation has just completed a survey in which 4,700 clergymen, representing twenty-two major denominations, stated their opinions on several of the issues pertinent to the President's request. On the basis of these opinions, the Foundation declared: "We hold that there can be no permanent recovery as long as the nation depends on palliative legislation within the capitalist system....People are being denied the bare necessities of life, while an economy of scarcity to protect the profit system is being encouraged." "We urge you to take drastic steps, in cooperation with your that the standard of living of all people rises to the level made possible through socializing our potential resources. This improvement involves transforming the distribution of the necessities of life, as well as other consumption goods, to cooperatives. It involves the nationalization of the basic industries and the building of an inclusive trade union movement which will insure social justice to the workers." Among the leading churchmen who signed the letter stating the position of the foundation were: SECOND SECTION EDUCATION PROJECT IS PLANNED Land-Grant Colleges Propose Organization for American Negroes The formation of an organization to be known as "An Association for the Improvement of Public Education for Negroes," was recommended by the committee on findings, for the Conference of Presidents of Land-Grant Colleges, which met here at the Whitclaw Hotel, several weeks ago. The report of the committee, which was released this week, recommended the formation of such an association because of the growing importance of public education in the country, and because of the likelihood that the education of Negroes in the United States will be done more and more in public institutions. Not Restricted Membership in the organization proposed, would not be restricted to institutions, organizations, or individuals directly engaged in public education, but provision would be made for the membership of private educational institutions, individuals not directly connected with education, and for other institutions or organizations interested in the public education of Negroes, the report stated. "The proposal now made, if accepted, would furnish the opportunity for many organizations to merge in the interest of economy, time, strength, and effectiveness," the report contained. The States which support separate land-grant colleges for Negroes were rapped for their failure to include professional training in those schools. To Teach Citizenship "The fact that none of the seventeen States supporting separate land-grant colleges for Negroes has established a graduate or professional school at the state colleges for Negroes must not close our eyes to the grave need for graduate and professionally-trained Negroes in all lines of service," the committee found. The committee also expressed regret that none of the State colleges for Negroes has established an agricultural experiment substation at the colleges. In the interest of "an ever-rising social mind in America" the committee found it necessary to recommend that Negroes be taught the fundamentals of citizenship. Stresses Ballot "There is a grave need for the teaching of practical politics, the necessity and value of the ballot, and the right use of the same, in all schools for Negroes. Little progress will be made in teaching the Negro to be a good citizen, without presenting to him, in training programs, the use of the tools of citizenship," the report continued. The various philanthropic boards, accustomed to giving aid to Negro educational institutions, were urged to increase their financial assistance to education for Negroes, not only in the ways in which assistance has been rendered but in newer and more varied ways. By no means should their assistance be withdrawn or even curtailed, according to the committee. Sunday School Congress to Meet in New Orleans NEW ORLEANS, La.

(ANP)—Five confessed lynchers are to go to trial for the second time here this week when Clyde, Lusher, James and Lesse Dotson and their cousin, Allie Brown, will be tried for the murder of Walter-Bell, who was lynched near here November 4. The five white men were arrested when Luther Dotson entered the sheriff's office and returned the officer's gun after the lynching. At the first trial the quintet was acquitted but rearrested on the judge's order after he had reprimanded the jury that returned the verdict of "not guilty" despite the confession and the evidence. Admits Participation Each one admitted to being a member of the mob that lynched Bell but Dotson who is alleged to have killed Bell claimed that he killed him in self-defense. According to the story of the lynchers, they took Bell from the officers to administer a beating but when they reached the place where the whipping was supposed to have been given Bell picked up a rock and fearing that he might be killed Luther Dotson shot and killed him and his body was thrown into a nearby stream. Mrs. Dotson, who caused the lynching, testified that Bell, a pauper had insulted her by offering her $500 to "go with him" and when she turned-down his offer he slapped her. She reported the incident to her husband and the arrest and subsequent lynching followed. Dr. Albert W. Earley former president of the Federal Council of Churches; the Rev.

Dr. Wesley said that sailors from Africa may have drifted across the South Atlantic in canoes to land in South America and West Indian Islands. His beliefs are partly supported by evidence that certain African products were growing in the Americas in Columbus' time. Such products as tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes and peanuts, Dr Wesley said, have ben found by Professor Leo Weiner of Harvard, to be called by Indian names, directly tractable to African origin.

COLORED CLUB MAY BUY FORMER WHITE HEADQUARTERS Colored Democrats Are to Take over Ramapo Club House NEW YORK. (By G. James Fleming for ANP)—Stark evidence of the dethronement of white leadership in Democratic Harlem, stands on Sugar Hill—just where the hill begins—and where tor years the destinies of Harlem, politically, were decided. The evidence is the imposing home of "Chicopee Democratic Club" which is now all boarded up, silent, unlighted, and labelled with a huge "For Sale" sign. In this structure died the hopes of Charlie Conklin, white, to carry on the dynasty of his uncle. Thomas Murray, 72-year-old white democratic mogul, who dished out the spoils of Democratic victory to white and colored After a fight by the United Beavers and Ramapo Democratic Clubs, the leadership of the 21st District fell for the first time last month on the shoulders of a Negro—Herbert Bruce—and the five million dollars worth of jobs came under new directorship, thus displacing the Murray-Conklin leadership. On reliable information it is reported that the very Beaver-Romapo Association which put the skids under the almost-all-white Chicopee Democratic Club, have entered into negotiations to buy the Chicopee headquarters since it is centrally located and well suited for clubhouse purposes. The Chicopee Democratic Clubhouse in the past score of years has been the scene of many a victor's party; in the past decade, especially, Negro votes made these victories possible, but when the spoils were distributed, the most and best went to the small number of white voters in the white Riverside section, and the crumbs to the Negroes. To get whites for some offices, even outsiders were "taken care of," while the vote-getters and vote-casters went neglected. Dean Slowe Addresses Group of College Women Dean Lucy D.

Weaver, which was scheduled to be conducted by the Howard Law School faculty, last November 27, was postponed, and the date of hearing set for Wednesday afternoon, December 11, at 3 o'clock. Weaver, a law student and a member of the editorial staff of The Washington Tribune, has been summoned to appear before the law school faculty to show cause why he should not be disciplined for his column which appeared in the September 21 issue of The Tribune, in which former Vice Dean Charles H. Houghton, and an instructor, Bernard S. Jefferson, were severely criticized.

Refused Request Were it not for the meeting of the various deans, the trial of Weaver would have been conducted in his absence, as he was in New York when the hearing was called. and Acting Dean William E.

Attempting to dope out the motive for the demonstration, local observers were of the belief that the Klan was expressing its disgust at the government's expenditure of money to better Negro housing conditions in Atlanta. Others said the parade was to intimidate a group of westiders, who had been picketing a chain store, in which a Negro customer had been brutally beaten a week before. The ranks were broken as the marchers neared Lee Street when a brick hurled from the concealing darkness, struck one of the Klansmen in the head
