Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and Harold Haines, principal of Browne Junior High School, barely escaped death this week when the car in which they were riding skidded over an embankment and turned over ten miles west of Lexington, Va. The two school officials were returning to Washington from Charleston, W. Va., where they had attended an executive meeting of the National Association of Colored Teachers, of which Dr. Wilkinson is the president. The car was being driven by Dr. Wilkinson when it skidded on the slippery highway while making a curve. The car plunged through a new railing that had been constructed by the Virginia Highway Department following another accident which occurred at that same point recently. Mr. Haines received severe cuts and lacerations about the face, and has been confined to his home since his return to the city last Sunday. Dr. Wilkinson escaped without a scratch. The car turned over and landed on all four wheels, undamaged, and was driven into Washington by Dr. Wilkinson. Stepin Fetchit Jailed On Assault Charge NEW YORK. — Stepin Fetchit, slow-moving actor, was held on a charge of felonious assault this week, as the result of an alleged attack on a process server. The process server, Philin Kraunkers, said the actor hit him over the head with a club when Kraunkers handed him some legal papers at a West 125th Street theater, where, Fetchit has been appearing, Fechit spent the night in a police station. His attorney denied the charge, saying a stage hand must have done it. Mitchell With Congressman Is Guest Club in Chicago; To Of Investigation CHICAGO, (ANP) — Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, who arrived recently, for the first time since his extensive journey to the Virgin Islands, was a guest at the luncheon given President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Saddle and Sirloin Club, here Monday. The President was entertained immediately after he finished his speech, at the International Livestock Show, during which he explained and defended his agricultural policy. Mr. Mitchell sat at the table reserved for congressmen, very near that of the Chief Executive. He was enthusiastic in his approval of the President's address. "I had a marvelous trip to the Virgin Islands," said the congressman, "I learned a great deal, which will be serviceable to the people of the Islands and useful to me in my attempts to be of service to them.

SEGR'GATION AT ARENA IS DENIED Definite assertions were met with insistent oenials early this week as investigation of alleged segregation at the new Joe Turner boxing arena. Fourteenth and W Streets, Northwest, got under way. Patrons of the place were emphatic in their contradictions each time they were approached with the suggestion that Turner and his cohorts were following a discriminatory policy. Fans who have attended the two shows staged at the arena since its opening expressed indignation at the jim-crow seating arrangement. They claim that they were directed to one door on entrance of the place and after getting into the arena were shown to seats in the same section.

Ickes, saying that I make certain investigations into the welfare of the inhabitants, which I did. "I did not confine my activities to the Virgin Islands alone," the congressman said. "I visited the British and French possessions and went as far as the South American mainland. I had an opportunity to study and compare the effect of English and French colonial policies with those of the United States." Visited Dr. Moton "Before coming on to Chicago," Mr. Mitchell said, "I landed in New York, visited my office there, and then went down in Virginia to spend a while with Dr. Robert R. Moton, whom I knew has a live and vital interest in the Virgin Islands. I was happy to find Dr. Moton recovering his health so rapidly and in such good spirit. I expect to see him act." --- Air of Expectancy in Court as "Joe Louis" is Called By Clerk Necks stretched in Police Court. Wednesday morning when the court clerk boomed out the name of Joe Louis and read the charges—possessing ustaxed liquor. However, when the defendant answered his name a sign of relief went up from the crowded room. The clerk again boomed out "Joe Louis Hamilton." Hamilton who lives at 74 Penton Place, Northeast, was represented by Attorney C. R. Williford. The charge against him was finally nolle prosssed by the assistant district attorney. STARS TO AID IN SPECIAL SHOW Theatrical Luminaries to Assist Howard Theatre's Shoe Fund Endeavor The entire proceeds of a special midnight show being planned by the management of the Howard Theatre will be given toward the obtaining of shoes for needy children, Shep Allen, manager of the theatre, announced late this week. According to Mr. Allen, a number of headliners in the theatrical world have already volunteered their services for the cause. Still others, he declares, are being sought with the hope of making the affair a complete success. This is the fourth straight year that the popular T Street house has made an attempt to aid those in somewhat strained circumstances at this time of year. The belief among theatrical folk that the Christmas season is the most appropriate time to aid the needy is shared by many outside of that particular field. The Howard's special midnight show is set for December 18. PASTOR'S DAY IN VIRGINIA Pastor's Day will be celebrated at three nearby churches—Antioch Baptist Church, Madison, Virginia; Rock Hall Baptist Church, Wolf Town, Virginia, and Mount Zion Baptist Church, Near Shelby, Virginia—on the fourth Sunday in the month.

Weaver, student in the Howard School of Law and member of the reportorial staff. The Washington Tribune, was held in abeyance following a trial of the student before the university school of law faculty, Wednesday afternoon. Weaver was cited to show cause why he should not be disciplined for his column which appeared in the September 23 issue of the Tribune, in which former Vice-Dear Charles H. Houston and an instructor, Bernard S. Jefferson; were severely criticized. William E. Taylor, acting dean of the school of law, presided at the trial. Weaver was represented by Attorney Benjamin H. Gaskins. After nearly three hours of discussion, Weaver and his attorney were dismissed and announcement made that a decision would go given later. Newspapersmen seeking admit- tance to the trial were barred. 1936 BOY SCOUT JAMBOREE HERE Cancelled at the last minute last summer because of the infantile paralysis epidemic existing at the time, the silver anniversary jubilee jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America will be held in Washington next June and July, it was announced today.

Smith In Fourth-Street House STRUCK FROM BEHIND IN DARK HALLWAY Bandits Leave Officer In Cellar Unconscious, Blow Safe, Escape With Loot A city-wide search was launched late Wednesday night by local police in an effort to apprehend the three white yeggs who beat, bound and gagged Detective Sergeant Howard W. Smith of the Central Bureau, and left him unconscious in a basement of a house in the 1800 block Fourth Street, Northwest. Detective Smith, second oldest detective sergeant in point of service in the District of Columbia, went to the house, 1817 First Street, shortly after dark. His purpose was to question a witness about a robbery case to which he had been assigned. Struck from Behind As he entered the darkened hallway, the door having been opened in response to his ringing of the bell. Sergeant Smith was taken by surprise and struck from behind. A pair of strong arms encircled his body, pinning his arms to his side, and again he was struck on the head. Police who had been rushed to the house in response to an alarm that there had been an explosion there, found the headquarters man lying on the floor in the cellar. In the same room, identically bound and gagged, but not beaten, were a man, Daniel Green, 29 and a woman, Mrs. Ode'l Williams. Beat Caller Green told police he had come to the house shortly before the arrival of Detective Smith; had found Mrs. Williams in distress and had himself been manhandled. He said he had come to the place to visit a young woman who also lives at the Fourth Street address, but who was not at home. Mrs. Williams was unable to explain how the men had gained entrance to the house, but presumed that they had come in with a passkey. She told police a safe containing upward of $5,000 was in an upstairs room. Hastening upstairs the officers found a safe, its doors flung wide from a nitroglycerine blast. It was empty. Police report that the safe was the property of a "numbers" operator who makes the Fourth Street house a local headquarters. Their theory is that rival racketeers or someone who knew of the headquarters and of the presence of the safe in the house are responsible. Inspector F. S. W. Burke, in charge of the detective bureau, told the Tribune yesterday (Thursday) morning that every effort will be made to apprehend the thugs. Detective Smith was treated at Freedmen's Hospital and went to his home, 902 French Street, Northwest. Relatives told the Tribune yesterday (Thursday) morning that he was "all right" and intended to return to work. Elk Exalted Ruler Hurt At Justice Department Allen A. C.

Thurston, 18-year-old daughter of John Thurston, restaurant proprietor, of 2000 Eleventh Street, Northwes, returned to her grief-stricken mother early Thursday morning. The young girl, a senior at Dunbar High School, walked into her home at 1110 Columbia Road, Northwest, Thursday morning after police, friends and relatives had searched the city and nearby places for her since Saturday. According to her father, she had been visiting relatives in Fredericksburg, Va. No reason for his daughter's mysterious disappearance was given by Mr. Thurston. The girl left home Saturday morning to report to work at her father's Eleventh Street restaurant but never reported. A hurried search for her among her schoolmates and friends failed to reveal any race of the girl and parents, later, solicited the aid of police in the search for her. She was missing for six days, finally phoning from the Fredericksburg, Virginia, home-of-one of one of Mr. Thurston's relatives. The girl is a popular member of the Dunbar High School senior class and listed to graduate in February. CONTRACT IS LET FOR D. C.

(ANP) — Angel Herndon, Communist leader, who was convicted here, in 1932, charged with inciting an insurrection and sentenced to serve from 18 to 20 years in prison, gained new hope in his fight for freedom here. Saturday, when Superior Court Judge Hugh M. Dorsey, ruled that the sedition law of 1865, under which Herndon was convicted, was unconstitutional in that it "is in enfoil with the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States and that it is too vague and too ineffective to provide a sufficiently ascertainable standard of guilt and is also in conflict with Article 1, Paragraph 2. of the Constitution of the State of Georgia. Following the ruling of Judge Dorsey Heyden was released from the Fulton County Jail on a bond of $8,000, which was furnished by the International Labor Defense, an organization that has been most active in carrying on Public School Officials Head Mass Celebration of League Anniversary PROMINENT SPEAKERS ON PROGRAM Twenty-fifth Anniversary of National Urban League to be Great Occasion Elaborate plans are being made for a mass celebration on the part of citizens of the District of Columbia, in commemoration of this twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Urban League, Dr. Garnet C.

The celebration, which is scheduled to take place at the Lincoln Temple, Friday evening, December 20, at 8 o'clock, will be Washington's wav of showing its appreciation for the work the Urban League has done for the Negro during the twenty-five years of its existence. Lehman Speaks The celebration will be in keeping with the type of exercises being conducted throughout the country, in the Metropolitan cities, and will be featured by a prominent speaker yet to be selected. The movement was started in New York City the latter part of November, when a two-day conference was held, which, included a formal dinner at the Manhattan, with Governor Herbert H. Lehman, of the State of New York, delivered the main address. Dr. Frederick D. Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute, also, appeared on the program. In Baltimore, Wednesday night, the citizens turned out at the Douglass High School, to hear an address delivered by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in which she lauded the work that, has been conducted by the League, and urged it to continue its activities. In Washington every organization in the city is cooperating with the movement in an effort to make Washington's demonstration a suc-(See URBAN LEAGUE, Page 2) Fire Causes $5.000 Loss P.W.A. Welfare Board An electric iron caused a three-alarm fire early Thursday at 1426 U Street, and resulted in $3,000 damage to the headquarters of Public Assistance Division No. 3 of the Public Welfare Board. The blaze was confined to the third floor and was quickly extinguished. A number of sewing machines and other equipment used to make garments for the needy were burned. The iron that started the fire had been left connected on a table, police said. Bernard Killmer, 716 Quincy Street, night watchman, discovered the b laze when a fire alarm set off as the wires were short-circuited by flames.

Hernand was convicted in 1932, when he was charged with inciting an insurrection. He declared at that time that he was seeking to organize families on relief rolls of which 500 were white and 400 were Negroes. At a senatorial trial the State contended that he was endeavoring to set up a Negro Republic and declared that literature found in his possession probed this contention. According to the prosecution, this literature included well defined plans for the over-throw of the government in this section, with the territory to be conquered definitely outlined and the land owners designated by name. He was convicted under the 1886 saddon law and sentenced to prison. Since that time an intensive campaign A Free Group With Every Suite AT THE NATIONAL FURNITURE COMPANY 7TH AND H STREETS N. W.

The soloist of the choir is a former member of the Imperial Russian Opera and was a favorite of the late Tsar -Kapiton Zaporozhetz. "Hearing Zaporojetz take an unbelievably low note," said one of Russia's greatest critics, Juri Sakhnovsky. "one has the feeling of unreality."

Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb Last week, the startling news that Uncle Sam had leased the attractive Masonic Building on U Street for a five-year period, amazed and astounded the colored populace of Washington to no little extent. Those of us who had spent many a gay and joyous evening on the dance floor of the Masonic will undoubtedly feel a pang of dismay and disappointment with the realization that for quite some time (possibly for all time) we will no longer be able to glide gracefully on the boards of this popular dance emporium. It was an unfortunate circumstance that occasioned the loss of this edifice by the colored Masonic order, but this misfortune, if it did nothing else, emphasized the need of co-operation and unity on the part of Washington's colored citizenry. It is only when misfortune befalls some of us, that we are able to recognize and realize the error of our ways. While we mourn the seemingly complete loss of this structure, let us hope that "experience will prove to be the best teacher" in the days to come. Giving Owens a Raw Deal. (With applogies to the Sports Department.) It appears to be an unwritten law of the Amateur Athletic Union of this country to bar Negro athletes from the winnings of the James E.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1935 ance, broke three world's records and tied another, is beyond human comprehension. Certainly, no other athlete in the realm of sports, unless it be the professional boxing sensation, Joe Louis, so dominated the sports pages of the nation, this year, as did the phenomenal Jesse-Owens. Manifestly, the prejudicial stand taken against Owens, was produced over the fact that the Ohio State Legislature employed him as a page after school classes. And in spite of the fact that he was later absorbed of all professional charges, ostensibly he was, not even considered for the Sullivan award. You see Owens is not able to change his God-given complexion.

Hampton Students to Be Presented in Recital HAMPTON, Va. — Despite the fact that the students at Hampton Institute, through its Entertainment committee and its Musical Ats Society, are privileged to hear frequently some of the country's most outstanding artists, in the field of music, a student organization, the Society for the Study of Negro History, is taking the unusual stap of calling back to the campus a graduate of last year's School of Music. Casting about for an artist whom the Society might present in a formal benefit recital, it decided to bring back to the campus, less than six months after graduation, Miss Elizabeth Whitehead, a native of Bluefield, West Virginia. The recital will be held in Ogden Fall, Saturday evening, December 14, at 8:15 o'clock. "FRIENDS" WITH CAR TAKE $135 FROM MACON WOMAN MACON, Ga. (ANP)—It cost Raymond Borden, 30 year old woman, $135 in cash and three diamond rings to learn not to trust strangers. It happened when Miss Bordens, going to the post-office after withdrawing $23 from the bank, was accosted by a strange woman who asked if she was going home. When Miss Bordens replied she was and stated her address, the stranger invited her to ride with her and her friends who were going in that direction The local woman joined the stranger and two male companions in a big car. The car stopped suddenly in a quiet part of the street and one of the men got out, demanded her money, took it and the rings, and drove on toward Atlanta as she was left stanning in the street. Mr. Hoover is said to have longing eyes on the 1936 presidential chair. Will the American people reepeat a bad mistake? The Voice of Alexandria BY EDDIE NEWMAN Help Us Play Santa Claus to the Forgotten Kiddies At THE LINCOLN THEATRE Saturday Morning, December 21 At Half Past Ten When The Children's Page of the Washington Tribune Presents "A Silly Symphony" Consisting of Three Little Pigs King Neptune Big Bad Wolf Tortoise and the Hare (All in colors) and Orphan's Benefit Gulliver Mickey Playful Pluto Mickey's Mellerdramer Admission Only 10 Cents Join the Crowd at the Lincoln HELLO EVERYONE ... Again this is that insufferable cad, known to the hometowners, as the Voice of Alexandria... Again he attempts to bring you the velly latest events around the historic old town of Alexandria... Yowsir, the old town is historic and still is, unless one cares to count the few new houses springing up here and there or the few old relics being repaired, as being modern... Why, the old burg is so old in some parts, that the people will not let the city take up the cobbledstones in the street... Saying as an excuse, "Perhaps George Washington's horse or sow walked over them." Well, maybe your writer is overdoing things a bit, but we do know that various leading citizens like to brag about how Uncle George ate in this tavern or sat in this chair... Racing on, we find the ice blasts of winter sweeping through the city from the old Potomac, which we might add is quite discouraging to Mr Ralph Lane, Jr., when he thinks about coming out at night to see his better half about fifteen blocks away. He lives just three blocks from the source of these cold waves (the river). Your writer remembers a couple of years back when the old Potomac came within a block of his home. Yow-sir, at that time people even had canoes on the main street in the town'. And yet another feature about those cold winds. They are even cleaning the news off of the streets. Take Queen Street for example. Here we have our own little Harlem, but now it seems as if it is deserted...Only on a Saturday nite you might find a large number of citizens. These are the working class, rushing to the cut-rate grocery store on the corner or perhaps to the chicken market in the middle of the block. ...Sunday nite brings out a few, some of em taking in Doc's corner drugstore or later on in the evening packing Freddie's lunchroom, mainly to enjoy his stove. Still though, there might be a dime or so in the crowd, which might ring up a fried fish on the cash register... Miss Carrie Nelson will see to it that you will get your order in six months' time instead of waiting the full year as you do for the oysters... And after these talkers have warmed their hands, there is still another place to go and that is the weekly Sunday midnite show at Mr. Dove's. Here we see him on the outside of the ticket office yelling that there are only a few seats left, you truck inside and find that you have the whole theatre to yourself, but perhaps after all we can forgive Mr. Dove for deceiving us as somewhere in his family album, there may have been a LAWYER... Figure that one out and perhaps you may get at leasta grin... Well, after we see this show, which is usually good, your writer, Robert Day and Ralph Lane looks forward to Leo, owner of a green Ford coupe to taxi us home. He does, and all is quiet on the Western Front for the rest of the nite... FLASH! HOMETOWN CHATTER... We note with some surprise that the heart to heart chats between Mr. Louie Bently and the lovable Alive Moore are no more. And that's the couple that this writer thought so well matched tool...Oh well, even a columnist makes a mistake now and then... We also note, but not with surprise, that Mr. Lawrence Baker and Miss Laura Luckett have pushed heir puppy love affair into the melting pot...FLASH... Wednesday nite finds your writer to get an eyeview of Morris Murray swinging his baton at our local play house. The lad clowned in the best Cab manner and received a big hand from the patrons present...We might mention the fact that the Capitol Southland Orchestra played the rhythms with Mr. Ralph Lane being the outstanding star with his sax. His solo was really good on the ears and so we rate him an orchid...Mr. Herbert Turner also did a good piece of work but is not quite ready for one of these rare flowers...He needs just a little more practice before trying to make those velly, velly hard notes...Several of the lads in the band tried to repeat after the M.C. and didn't sound so hot, probably because they did it on the spur of the moment without rehearsing their parts...Maybe they will do better next time...Orchids to the boys for their two outstanding numbers. "Way Down the River" and "I'm In the Mood for Love"...These two numbers were also good to the ears...And so much for Wednesday nite...FLASH...Friday finds your reporter attending a party entirely different from what he is acquainted with. It's an entirely different set of youngsters...As your scribe entered he was quite surprised to see so many hats present on top of the male guests' heads...Looked more like a gathering of people ata sporting event of some kind...Scallians to those who had such attire on...Most of the girls present were those kind who call themselves (it) or what have you. Most of these sat around with their coats on and so you can imagine just what kind of a party it was...It was so dull and lifeless that this writer will spare the host and not mention his name. However, he is not to be blamed for the way the guests acted. Take for example the scene in which the boys mobbed the refreshments, Acted like a bunch of Haile Selassie's untrained savages jumping on an elephant or something to devour it...Was shocked beyond words... Well, to save the evening and to brighten up things a bit, the lady of the house rushed down, switched on the radio and made a speech to the velly noisy bunch to stop their rocket or leave by BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL the front door. She further made it plain that she didn't care how soon they left. Of course I'm quite sure that while this dear lady was making this outstanding piece of tongue twisting, since the days of Patrick Henry, that she had never heard of, or better still, had never bothered to read such trash as The Voice of Alexandria...And also you can bet that this writer never cared, at this dangerous moment, to mention the fact that he was a reporter of such events...And now, my dear readers, your commentator will bring you some more bedtime stories next week. Cheerio... NEW YORK CITY (UNP)—New York is infested with celebrities with whom they may rub shoulders frequently if you know them by sight, but recently he holiday and the National Urban League Conference brought into town a large number of celebrities not of New York . . . the most distinguished being probably Dr. F. D. Patterson, Tuskegee. Both local and out of town headliners clustered about the shimmering dinner tables of the Manhattan Hotel on West 34th Street, recently at the Urban League's anniversary dinner. Although anything about any of the several hundred gathered at those tables would be news, strange to say reporters for the Negro Press were conspicuous by their absence. Daily paper reporters were on hand, however. The dinner cost $3.00 a plate which may be a reason. A picket walks up and down in front of the Vanderbilt Theatre on 48th Street carrying a sign: "Do not patronize this play. It is unfair to Soothern Aristocracy"... the play is Langston Hughes "Mulatto." Hailed by first night critics as a poor piece of work, the play continues to draw crowds. Hughes rescued it from a drawer filled with discarded writings. The producer liked it and put it on Broadway. The newest sensation of large social work conferences in which the two races meet together is the spectacle of mixed couples lunching in Gotham's exclusive restaurants. No one seems to pay much attention to it. Youth in these parts is so militant that of an evening one public place after another is toured with mixed couples just to see what will happen. Occasionally the colored are refused service. In one such swanky Broadway club the manager, seeing some white patrons walk out when the mixed parties came in, sald nothing at first and served them all. When the party gave signs of lingering after the luncheon and dancing, he offered to give them back their money to leave. He returned ten dollars which was the approximate amount of their bill. They ate, drank, and danced **** a whirl or two at no cost . . . and charged it to the "advantage of discrimination." ***** Down around the sixties in New York lies that first heavily populated colored section in which race life bloomed before Harlem was born, where the late Bert Williams and other celebrities were familiar figures in the bygone days. They called the section "San Juan Hill" for years . . . but today citizens who live there will protest vigorously if you allude to the section by that name. They say the conditions which gave rise to the name egend have long since gone and to say "San Juan Hill" anymore is odious. Thanksgiving Eve in Harlem streets is a spectacle to remember. For a moment you believe it is Halloween as masking and masquerading are the enthusiastic diversions of the children. Crowds move up and down the avenue inroves as midnight approaches and no one thinks of going to bed early. The late shows are crowded, there are a score or more of exclusive social affairs getting started, the Cotton Club benefit at the Rockland Palace brings a dozen famous bands and stage celebrities to the people at a dollar a head, the cafes are crowded, the lunchrooms running over, the night clubs such as the 101 Ranch, the Ubangi Club the Cotton Club, the Yeah Man, and the naughty Continental doing a land office business. Death of Mike, the white man who owned the Moulin Rouge café on Seventh Avenue, famous both during the prohibition era and since, cast a shadow of gloom over that famed rendezvous last week. It is at "Mikes" where the theatrical celebrities gather early of a morning and where crowds are parked at neat little tables together. It is a holdover from that famed period in Gotham life known as the Night Club Era, when speakiesies flourished openly and you had to be recognized through a peep hole to gain admittance. Not only liquor drew folks there. Mikes famous steaks played their part. Mrs. Josephine Buford Becton widow of the late evangelist. G Wilson Becton who was mysteriously slain in Philadelphia, May 21, 1933 conducts elaborate spiritualism services at 135 W. 120th Street. WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN RALEIGH (A.N.P.)—Struck by a Missouri Pacific freight train near the crossing at Lauderdale, Mrs. Emma Holmes was instantly killed Tuesday morning. According to the report of the white watcher at the crossing, the woman deliberately walked in front of the on-rushing train. Her mangled body was carried to the local morgue where it was later identified by relatives who declared that her sight and hearing were impaired to a great degree and that nobody knew she was out of the house which is near the train tracks. A congressman might dodge constituents in Washington, but he won't be able to dodge them at home.

(A N P) — According to a statistical report of the State Emergency Relief Associntion here Tuesday, there has been only a slight decrease in the number of families on the relief rolls due to the fact that as fast as removals are made through the work relief projects an equal puraber is enrolled. Negroes constitute the largest pro-rata due to the lack of interest shown by the directors of the various projects in placing Ne- groes on the work lists, according to leaders here. This condition has been brought to the attention of the administrators. but to date little has been done to remedy it, but those promoting the movement to see that the Negro citizens re- ceive their share of the jobs on the PWA projects, are yet hope- ful, AMUBLANCES NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE cal ‘Jarvis Funeral Church 1432 U Street.

She declared the minister firmly believed her father encour- aged their separation and that he was opposed to a reconciliation between them. The McClendons were married here in 1933. McClendon motored to St. Louis, Thursday, the day before the shooting.’ The day of the tragedy he went to the home of his wife's parents but was not admitted. He immediately sought his father-in- law, finding him at the barber shop, where the killing occurred. McClendon was tormerly pastor of Memorial Baptist Church of this city from December 13, 1933, to April 8, 1934, when officials of the church demanded his resignation.

Votes Olympic Participation Peacock, Temple Star; Metcalfe, Former Marquette Speedster, and Owens, Ohio State Flash, Express Approval; NAACP Urges Boycott of '36 Games OURTEEN Negro Athletes Sa Votes Olympic Peacock, Temple Star; M Speedster, and Owens, O Approval; NAACP Urge NEW YORK (ANP)—American participation in the 1936 Olympic; at Berlin was voted by the Amateur Athletic Union. Sunday, after a bitter fight led by opposing forces. Prospective Negro members of the team, however, are in sympathy with next summer's international competition. Previously, Eulace Peacock, Temple University star; Jesse Owens, Ohio State University world record holder, and Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University flash, all of whom will probably be mainstays of the U.S. entry, told the Associated Negro Press they were in favor of participation by the United States. NAACP Protests Just before the opening of the A.A.U. convention, Walter White, of the NAACP, sent a telegram to the organization requesting that body to vote against American participation. White stated the message was sent "in no spirit of racial selfishness nor in any 'holier than thou' attitude. "The United State has much to answer for in the matter of racial discrimination, especially against Negro athletes in the South. Instead, we ask the A.A.U. to vote against participation on the ground that Germany has violated her pledges against racial discrimination, and for American athletes to participate would be to negate every principle on which the Olympic games are founded."

Russell kicked a goal from the 12-yard penalty line. Deadlocks Score Determined to make it two straight over the locals, however, the Pirate booters fought furiously finally registering a score in the second half during the midst of a rush of the goalie.

The show is being staged in an effort to set up a Police Boys' Club. Topping the card is a grudge set-to between Billy Eley, Washington 144-pound sensation, and Young Gene Buffalo of Philadelphia. Eley and Buffalo, who met some weeks ago at the Lincoln Colonnade on a Lincoln A.C., show, were signed for the coming battle late last week.

A wreck on a detour is often THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1935 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune The award committee of the Amateur Athletic Union has completely ignored the greatest amateur athlete in the country in its recommendations for the 1935 Sullivan Memorial Medal. The Amateur Athletic Union thus goes on record as being perhaps the most inconsistent body in the history of amateur competition under the Stars and Stripes of freedom. Although Jesse Owens, the Ohio State University speed marvel, attained a higher peak than any 1935 athlete in any sphere of activity, when he set three world records and tied another in one afternoon, and notwithstanding that a nation-wide ballot of experts picked him among the first five, the award committee of the A.A.U. has declared him ineligible for the medal given each year to the individual who stands at the top of amateur athletic endeavor. Almost at the same time that Owens's name was cast into the discard, the A.A.U. voted to accept the marks set by the Ohio State flash on that May afternoon at Ann Arbor, Mich. Owens, reports state, was eliminated by the committee because he held a job as page, under pay of the State of Ohio. If that is chargeable against him, his offense does not seem sufficient to make him a professional, because he is not disregarded when it comes time to place American track and field records into the books for international competitors to shoot at On the other hand, the A.A.U. feels that Owens is not clean enough for their own Simon-pure ranks. And on the other hand, the acknowledgment of his records makes it appear he is OK by them. The A.A.U. owes an interested public some explanation of this state of affairs. If the Ohio State track star is clean enough for the A.A.U. to accept his records, why then is he not clean enough to be eligible for the Sullivan Memorial honor? Why, also, if the requested opinion of several hundred experts is that Owens is entitled to high consideration, is their view disregarded and nullified by the committee? Either the committee has some knowledge that it should have revealed in advance to those who were requested to vote or it should accept the judgment of the critics solicited for an opinion. In the conditions of the Sullivan Memorial award is a clause, suggesting that allowance be made for sportsmanship displayed by the respective candidates. There certainly must be something decidedly unsportsmanly about the A.A.U.'s action. If the acceptance of money, "expenses" or considerations involving the expenditure of money not paid out by the athlete is to determine the eligibility to the Sullivan award, the entire list of candidates might well be turned down by the committee. So far as we know, there is not one amateur of national or international note in this or any other country who competes under his own financial power when away from home. One way or another, the cost burden is lifted from the shoulders of them all. Explain it how you will, no major enterprise in amateur sport could reach its present proportions under strict construction of the amateur rule. Under 'expenses,' 'tuition,' 'job,' 'scholarship' or other subterfuge, it is made possible for athletes without personal means to go through college, have spending money, maintain a good appearance, devote all their time to their amateur specialties and to travel about the country and even abroad without cost to themselves. Why, then, pick one individual as more guilty than some other, especially, if he worked while on his "job?" Here's a laugh! The award committee of the country has completely ignored the great country in its recommendation Memorial Medal.

Gives Nod to Owens's Four Marks NEW YORK.—Four world record performances made by Jesse Owens, Ohio State University's "one man track team" were approved by the Amateur Athletic Union at the opening of its meeting here late last week. The marks, all made on May 26, last, at Ann Arbor, Mich. comprised the greatest single-day achievement for an individual in the history of track and field athletics. Owens stepped the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds, raced the "220-yard low hurdles in 22.6 seconds, set up a mark of 20.3 seconds for the 220-yard dash and then finished the day with a record-smashing leap of 26 feet, 814 inches for the broad jump. Acceptance of the marks by the International Federation is looked upon as mere formality after approval by the national union.

By BYRON (Speed) REILLY (For the Associated Negro Press) OAKLAND, Calif.-They say lightning does not strike in the same place twice, but Manager Gus Greenlee and the new light- weight champion, John Henry Lewis claim that saying does not cover referee decisions. The popular 175-pound title holder clashed with the former king pin of that division, Maxie Rosenbloom, in the top bout of the Dreamland show in San Francisco the other week, and for the second time, the colored ringster was rob- bed of the verdict. Sport Scribbs Kick Tobe Irwin refereed and when he raised Rosenbloom's hand after the bout, the arena echoed with the boos and jeers of the fans. About all who agreed with the arbitrator's verdict were the boys who took the short end of the betting and laid their "gill" on the New Yorker. Slange Maxie absolutely made no sort of effort to fight the first five rounds, saving all his energy to make sure that he would be on his feet at the end of ten rounds. He not only refused to fight himself, but clearly tied John Henry up in the clinches and would not let John fight. In the seventh he opened up to take a shade and made a whirlwind finish in the ninth and tenth. With all that, he even did not deserve a draw and every daily paper on both sides of the Bay, except one, told the world that John Henry lost a bout which he had won. The Examiner. Chronicle. Call-Bulletin. Daily News and Post Enquirer gave Lewis an advantage of at least three rounds. Most of the writers tabbed Lewis with either 6 or 7 rounds, while none gave Rosenbloom more than three. The Second Time Incidentally, this is the second time the Jewish battler gained an uncarned victory over Lewis. Early this year across the Bay in Oakland, Frankie Burns presented Rosenbloom with a win and the fans raised such a fuss that the referee has not appeared in the ring since that time. While the latest combat was nothing to write home about, the slowness of the affair was caused by Rosenbloom's constant clenching. "Old Man" Maxie, crunching on gums that once held teeth, now holds a record of 3 wins out of five bouts, over Lewis, but all fans who witnesses the last four battles, know that it should be, Lewis, 4 Rosenbloom 1. Pionsers Capture Opener 1 The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Pioneers opened the cage season with a 40-21 victory over the Dunbar Center Cardinals, Tuesday on the "Y" courts.

(CNA)—Eddie Tolan, Olympic sprint star in 1932, added his voice to the thousand asking for the removal of the 1936 Olympic from Nazi Germany. The movement to transfer the Olympics is gaining wide support. Workers and professionals are taking to heart the statement of Bruno Malitz, Storm Troop sports officials, that "dirty" Jews and negroes" should not be allowed to participate in athletics in Germany. They remember Julius Streicher's remarks in a speech delivered August 15. "We say that when a Negro is lynched (in America) for assaulting a white woman, he gets what is coming to him. And as we do not bother about executions of Negroes, you should not bother when we lead a race desecrator through the streets." Tolan spoke at a meeting of the Anti-Nazi Olympic Forum here last week. Louis C. Blount, president of the Michigan section of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was one of the sponsors of the meeting.

Julian Black, co-manager of the heavyweight sensation, spoke his mind on ex-Champion Gene Tunney's reported remarks concerning the fistic ability of the Brown Bomber. "I hardly think Tunney qualifies as a critic of any fighter's ability." Black declared. I'll readily grant that the calibre of today's heavyweights may not be as high as it was 10 or 12 years ago, but the main thing is that Joe Louis has been taking 'em all on, one after the other, and as rapidly as the promoters have been able to line them up for Joe. And I certainly think the boys Joe whipped on his way to the top rate a lot higher in the fictive scale than the unknowns Tunney was built up on. "Tunney was fighting five or six years beore anybody considered him seriously as a title contender. Louis has been fighting professionally less than 18 months, and already has done more than Tunney ever did until he was matched with Dempsey. "Gene stacked up against only three real fighters during his entire career—Harry Greb, Tom Gibbons and Jack Dempsey. And they were veterans, beyond their peaks, when Tunney caught up with them. Regardess of what Tunney thinks of Louis, I am satisfied, and I guess the world is too, that Joe right now is the best heavyweight in the business." ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth in the complete association rankings.

Iks Madden caught a runaway horse on Eighth Street. Ike showed his true colors. Sylvester King and Flora Compton are back together again. I notice that Kelley has been seen walking around with Flora each morning before King arrives. Watch out King, old pal. W Trecy and Gwendolyn "Red Carrots" Points aren't hitting it so well. LaVerne Evans is playing post office and the mail man is going to turn things around soon. E'aine still has that big crush on Dunmore, however, this feeling is not mutual. T Martin and Hattie have been seen together quite frequently. Anacostia is a long walk to Washington. There are still a few fellows around school who insist on going without ties. Get hipped to yourselves, boys. Charles Winston and his better half are the cutest couple around Cardozo. Walter Clifford and Todd are always copying bookkeeping. Wonder if both are going to get the same kird of marks. Josiah Hill goes to the sick to receive rather than give, which is the opposite to the old saying, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Milton Hil' and Ruba Smith seem to be enjoying that heavenly bliss and Bennice Jackson has reached the age of womanhood, Henry Plabev? "Ears" Gordon is transferring his affection from N. Jackson to N. Fountaine. Annie Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith were called the best waltzes in Cardozo. What a whisper. Rose Morgan and Moe Smith would have won but they were daring check to check. "Thou shalt not touch" said the judges. Dud Rurker is supposed to leave Cardozo for good in February. Wonder where brother Dud will go then. J. Burch seems to be heading for good things in football next year if he can keep girls off his mind and corns off his toes. The Lancers are officers at Cardozo and it was not their fault that the music didn't show up. They had paid in advance for the music. Ruth Cotton has gone puglistic on us. W. Tracy must be slipping. He didn't bring a girl to the dance his club gave. I suppose it's because you can't ride on car tickets after dark. The Derricott brothers must be typical Gables. Jean Braxton told this writer that Theodore came around so often that she simply had to quit seeing him in order to keep her heart. Woodrow has so many girls at Miner that the president sent him a nice letter telling him to devote more of his time to his studies. Anna Johhinson can talk more in three minutes than the average person can in a year. Rebecca Murray is a sweet little girl but a certain fellow says her line is too fine. There is a certain Anna W. over on Nineteenth Street who is crazy over one T. Martin Sherman, Neill was seen eating cheese on burnt toast. Tell me, Sherman, what are you trying to do?. Spring a new kind of toast on us. We all know burnt toast when we see it. Joseph Lancaster took Sarah Bowser along with him as a jibe in order to see R. Cotton on Sunday. Juanita Dixon is wearing sun glasses. Maybe she finds a ray of sunshine in the face of her love. You know who I mean, Nita? Eddy Newman, a certain scribe of the Tribune, is still out of breath from the mad rush he took from a certain Paten Street girl's house last summer when he was humiliated, mortified and disgusted. Please, Eddy, tell us the reason why you left in such a hurry. Can it be that you couldn't take it? If you think you have bother and troubles think of the load on the shoulders of the President of the United States.

Murphy is offering a special feature picture at the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday morning, December 21. The delight of both young and old, Mickey Mouse in "Silly Symphonies," will be shown. The pictures to be seen are "Three Little Pigs," "King Neptune," "Big Bad Wolf," "Tortoise and the Hare," all of these are in colors. The following will also be shown: "Mickey's Mellerdrama," "Playful Pluto," "Gulliver Mickey," and "Orphan Benefit." Rufus Byars, supervisor of the Lightman Treates and George Clark, house manager of the Lincoln, assert that this feature is the most presentious showing of Mickey Mouse pictures ever shown in the city at one time, with the exception of one theatre downtown. Tickets which have been placed on sale have been sold much quicker than we ever anticipated. This is an indication just how popular this feature is proving with the children. Tickets may be bought at some of the schools, from, Tribune newsboys, and at the Tribune office. The price is ten cents. For Charity The proceeds from this show will go to make it a merry Christmas for children who otherwise would have no Christmas. Clothes, toys, and food will be given to worthy cases from the proceeds derived from the sale of tickets. Adults are admitted on the same price tickets. Doors open at 9:30 o'clock and showing of picture begins at 10:30. Due to the early rush for tickets parents should get their tickets in advance so as to avoid children standing in line at the theatre window. Many adults are buying tickets to give to children who would enjoy this exceptional treat, but who, because of the depression are unable to obtain the admission price otherwise. Do some unfavorate child this small favor to start your holiday season off. Mrs. Alexander, of 1237 Kenyeng Street, is offering a scooter to be given away at the showing of the picture. The morning of the picture, the awarding of prizes will be made to winners of the successful contestants in the naming of the children's page. The first prize was won by Carl Smallwood for the rume "Avenue of Youth," and second prize goes to Leroy Simpson BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL as runner-up.

JUNK MAN BURNS SELF TO DEATH DETROIT (ANI)—Apparently too drunk to know what was happening, William Ross, 56 year old junk man, was burned to death early Saturday morning when he either knocked over his lamp or dropped a lighted cigarette on his bed. Evidently having a premonition that something would happen, Ross earlier asked a friend to spend the night with him, but his request was refused. Although the dead man had lived alone for four months at the scene of the tragedy, two women appeared to claim his belongings after the fire, each claiming to be his wife.

KEEPING CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS Benediction. The Leader's Own Talk THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1935 "We are celebrating the Baby's birthday!" "Baby's?" I looked around. There was no child visible. "Oh," said the mother, "you didn't think I'd bring him, did you? Why, he doesn't know anything about it!" How many of us celebrate the Christ Child's birthday... and forget to invite Him? Christmas Forgiveness. The little Christ Child came as the Prince of Peace. What better gift could we make at Christmas time than to clear our hearts of all bitterness and anger? Christmas day—when Jesus came to earth—brings all this to our minds. On the twenty-fifth of this month, there is to be a happy birthday party and now we are getting ready for it. We must prepare some gifts for the one whose birthday it is. They must not be gifts that we may enjoy but gifts that will make Him happy. It is Christ's birthday—not ours. We must remember that all of the time. Let us give of the best that we have to friend and stranger. But let us remember that the gifts of the spirit are more precious than rubies or earls. .....

(By ANP)— Unless the Governor intervenes, Jake Johnston, convicted inurderer, will be the first to die in the newly installed lethal chamber at the State Prison. Johnston js sentenced to die December 13 “by gas,” being the first to be sentenced to die by this method, Two tests of the “chamber” was conducted with dogs as the victims, have satisfied state officials, that the death is painless and this is a better method of execution than the electric chair. The first test failed to produce this assurance due to the constant howling of the dog. During the second test the doy howled just as loudly and as persistently as the first but physi- cians decided that the howls were not caused by pain but by the un- usual surroundings, Johnston's sentence has present. ed a puzzle to state officials for some time. He was sentenced to die several weeks ago but the lethal chamber was not ready so that he could not be executed ac- cording to his sentence. Attorneys for the doomed man. are contend- ing that since he was not execut- ed on the date sgh by te court and granted a réprievé, as no : itve Was. asked, his execution Friday will be illegal, Prisoners to Benefit By Special Christmas Drive ‘Twenty-five prisoners serving a total of two hundred years, are a- mong the almost one hundred long term political prisoners. in. whose behalf of Christmas drive is now in progress, ‘This: is the tenth annual Christ- ‘mas drive conducted by the Prison- ets Relief Department of the In- ternational Labor Defense, with headquarters at Room 610, 80 East llth Street, New York City.

Because of the “courtesy” of the Evening Star in not coverng the meeting. Dr. Eva B, Dykes, How- ard University professor, and member of the club, was ordered by Miss Young to preparé a spe- cial release on the incident for the Star. In order to comply with the request of Miss Young, Dr. Dykes found it necessary to call’ one of the ousted reporters to get notes on what the First Lady had said. Dr. Scott Ignored According to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard Uni- versity, and director of publicity, no member of the club contacted him with reference to the handling of publicity for the affair. The en- tire affair was conducted by the club, he said. Irked because Edward S, Hope, superintendent of buildings and grounds, refused to call police to eject the several reporters, Miss Young informed him that she would report him to Dr. Mordaci W. Johnson, president of the uni- versity. Satisfied that she had completed a good job in her attempt to bar pressmen, Miss Young, in a tele- phone conversation with The Tri- bune Friday morning, boasted: “Why, I had to put out a woman reporter bodily.” - Miss Young Denied Out of all the confusion, Mrs, Roosevelt remained calm ad denied the statement by Miss Young that she did not wish her speech re- ported. | However, she said several things “off the record” that were not published, Miss Young called The Tribune Friday morning and called The Tribune reporter a liar for having said Mrs, Roosevelt did not object to reporters or photographers, A photograph was made of the First Lady who graciously posed with newsmen as none of the club's. members were present, The entire affair was a flop since the president of the club failed to observe the little courtesies due on such an occasion. The whole unfortunate affair is the talk of the city and was discussed-over tea tables among Washington's social set. It is reported that those at the university who are familar with such affairs were not permitted to advise the leaders who feared oth- ets would “grab some of the cred- it.” After the affair was botched an attempt was made to get “influ- ence” to keep the story out of the papers. Even the White House Was pestered in an attempt to muz- zie The Tribune.

Attorneys for the state have anaounced their intention of filing the appeal within the preserized limit and attorneys for the defense have declared that they would carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States in case the decision of Judge Dorsey is reversed. It is a fight to the finish according to both sides. Judge Dorsey. who handed down the decision, giving Hermdon hope. of freedom, is one of Georgia’s most famous sons, He first Biba note in the prosecution and eon. viction of Leo Frank, prominent Jevr, who was subsequently lynch- ed, after @ death sentence, in con- nection with the murder of Mary Phagan, white. had been commuted to life imprisonment. Riding upon the crest of the wave of fame gained im this trial Attorney Dorsey was elected gov- ernor of Georgia and made the reputation of being one of the fairest. and most courageous chief executives in the history of the State. Among the lower element of whites. however, later he be- came unpopular through the ‘pub- lication ~of a pamphled decrying lynching and citing more than 100 cases of injustices inflicted upon Negroes. In handing down his decision Saturday, Judge Dorsey declared: , “This law is unconstitutional, illegal. void and of no effect, But it will be auite simple to enact one that will fully and absolutely protec: the State. Many states have been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States which eave ample protection against doctrines such as Herndon was ad- vocating.” 4 JARVIS Modern Funerals— Modern Equipment— Moderate Cost— ~ JARVIS Funeral Church 1432 U Street, N.W, North 3815 -NOrth 9121 ‘ S BROWN €sso DEALER SERVICE CENTER 2101 GEORGIA AVE., N.

The Tribune forewarned the reading public of England's treachery. Dominating the League of Nations, Lord Eden, combining with Premier Laval of France, has offered more loot to the robbers than they have been able by their butchery to take for themselves. On its face it looks like a defeat for Ethiopia, but in reality it is a cowardly surrender not only of a position solemnly taken as opposed to wars of aggression, but of the age-old dominance the white man has maintained by keeping his word to weaker peoples. Civilization stands disgraced, humiliated, for those dominant nations, made so by their own exploitation of darker races, refused to lend arms and ammunition to the defenders of their soil until too late, and then when the turn of the war threatened their holdings, they throw the land held by these African natives for centuries into the greedy paw of a megalomaniac who slaughtered his own youth and corrupted the youth of Africa to feed his vanity and greed for glory. Human depravity can go no lower. Ethiopia may well resolve as it does, "to die fighting," for mankind has nothing left to live and strive for, with this example of a fall from the seats of the mighty, except it be honor and an unfaltering belief in a just God, who says, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay."

The conclusion of this war marks the steady progress of human history in which "the attack has ever overcome the defense, and the greedy and usurious destroyed the imaginative people." Fire Burns Portable Building The fire that gutted one of the portable additions to the Armstrong High School, Wednesday morning, offered no threat to pupils, had they been in class. There are three doors and not over 35 pupils are accommodated at any one time, all of whom are accustomed to fire drill and would quickly pass out. Some things are evident, however, and coincide with the neglect in important details of those provisions for equality that mark separate schools anywhere. In the first place, proper expansion of Armstrong has not been provided, and it has been allowed to grow larger in enrollment than in capacity through a false worship of popularity. Some things are evident, however, and coincide with the neglect in important details of those provisions for equality that mark separate schools anywhere. In the first place, proper expansion of Armstrong has not been provided, and it has been allowed to grow larger in enrollment than in capacity through a false worship of popularity. Size has been emphasized when the enrollment has grown, while, by word of mouth, the claim was made, "Not a big school, but a good one." Another feature of conditions at that place, is the absence of full care of physical plant and equipment, as well as the necessity for replacing materials and machinery through obsolescence. This was due as much to red tape, which binds buying and assignment of appropriations in the District, in general, as well as the tendency to assign the care of a physical plant to lowaid employees, and give them high sounding titles such as "eustodians." Piles of junk accumulate at Armstrong, but can not be destroyed until some official has checked them and sent officially designated trucks to haul them away. The portables being a kind of fifth wheel to the main plant, though they in reality come nearer to the ideal class room than a cubicle in a crowded building, with its noises and narrow hallways, have not been kept in a state of repair and decency, because they are not part of the main building, and even oil for the floors is assigned according to floor space. With Piles of junk accumulate at Arm-strong, but can not be destroyed until some official has checked them and sent officially designated trucks to haul them away.

With technical experts employed in the school, old-fashioned hard coal furnaces were used for heating, just "to give some extra pay to the cleaner." in spite of the fact that the furnaces covered everything with dust from coal shes. Reaching the portables from the main plant caused teachers and pupils to travel through water, snow and mud, because the wooden walk-way runs quite short of reaching from door to door, and ashes spread on the walk have been worn away, thus making puddles on rainy days. With the steam capacity of the main plant, a steam pipe and radiators could have been installed, both for a pearance and for additional space, to say nothing of safety and hygiene. The fact is the popularity of Armstrong is due to the kind of practical turn, it gives schooling that most youth and parents want for their children, and its course should have been duplicated in other high schools, or its girls should have been accommodated in another plant, specially fitted for the phases of the work they enter, both in and after school. What Has Become of The National Negro Non-Partizan League? This query is frequently put to me as President of this late, lamented organization at the time of its demise. The National Negro Non-Partizan League was organized in December 1931, prior to the meeting of the National Republican and Democratic Conventions. Its immediate purpose was to put before these two great political parties, in temperate terms, the just claims of the Negro, It is beginning to look as if the colored schools are the step-child in this national capital set-up, and are drifting into the same condition that marks separate schools of any place that tolerates them or imposes upon a people too lacking in civic fight to demand equality of opportunity, even for their children. The furnace smoke pipe that apparently, started the fire, was but 12 inches from a painted flimsy wall and without any shield. You may draw your own conclusion as to the responsibility for that condition, in a public school room, into which pupils are invited and for which public money is spent for purchases, erection and care.

Herndon Again Free Human personalities who see life as service alone, make social progress. Millions who live on the animal-plane of eating, sleeping and moving about from day to day, are the beneficiaries of the sacrifices of a few choice souls. Were it not for that principle, society would be back to the stage of tooth and claw. The luxuary and selfishness of post-war years, caused so many people to forget that life is a constant struggle to get away from the animal basis of it all. Angelo Herndon, at just the right age, that age when Christ made His supreme sacrifice, has suffered and endured and brought out the capacity of other humans to cooperate and organize for protection of a common right. Convicted under a statue of 1866, when southern states enacted black codes to bring the former slaves again into subjection, Herndon benefits by that constant appeal to law and justice, which proves men human. "The law is too vague," says the court, and the State must defend its out-worn tyranny in a higher court. Herndon's freedom is more than personal, it is an index of social progress, for it illustrates the benefit of "bearng one another's burden," and the force of persistence, both of which we need to learn by practical application for our own salvation as a minority group. International Labor Defense must be commended for the conscientious adherence to its purpose to seek justice for men under the law. The U. S. Supreme Court has said, in Smith vs Shaw, 12 Johns, page 257, and McConnell vs Hampden, 12 Johns, page 234. "When the law can act, every other mode of punishing supposed crime is itself an enormous crime." Human personalities who see life as service alone, make social progress.

That applies to any group of people, and especially to groups of our blood and tradition, because we tend to lapse back into older and antebellum and even jungle customs, without copies to imitate Language is caught from the group with which we associate, hence, the loose pronunciation and the queer idioms we use and enjoy, are passed from member to member of the group.

Our young folks have a strange mixture of grand-mother habits and imitation of movie stars, but they have become so accustomed to segregation that they seldom seek any new contacts. They criticise each other for trifles, but not for defects, hence, the censure has about the same effect that one newspaper has upon the other, answers but no change in conduct. Since intelligence is shown by conduct, environment is most powerful in its influence, when it sets new standards of conduct in any field. Rural life lacks intimate, varied contacts, but repeats and intensifies those it does give, hence, rural intelligence is with but not high. As our people are predominately rural and as our cities are constantly increased by migrations from rural areas, rural manners and attitudes, continue to hold us fast bound. Habits of eating, of dressing up on Sundays, of visiting, of loud talking, of congregating in crowds, around meeting places, and of church entertainments, as well as, slow response to any call to action, all may be traced to rural habits, not yet corrected. Some of us call it being sociable, but any habits of group are .sociable," the question is are they the kind of sociability best suited to the present situation? and to urge their incorporation in their respective platforms. The National Negro Non-Partizan League was sponsored and projected under the inspiration and leadership of Hon. Oscar DePriest, the fearless and outspoken champion of Negro rights. Mr DePriest was elected President, and the writer, Secretary. Upon call of the promoters, an enthusiastic meeting, assembled in the city of Washington, including delegates and representatives from various states and sections of the country. The organization was formed amid enthusiasm and elcat such as was never before experienced at a race-wide political meeting. The resolutions adopted, in my judgment, constitute the greatest state paper ever issued by an assembly of colored leaders since emancipation. It was indeed the second Emancipation Proclamation; emancipating the Negro from his emancipators. The chief object of this movement was to wean the Negro from his traditional allegiance to a single party and to encourage him to base his claims broadly on patriotic and constitutional grounds, wholly without reference to partisan considerations. The welfare of no minority group can ever be safe and secure which rests upon the basis of a single party support. When the 1936 campaign got well under way, the leaders of this non-partisan movement, in political parlance, got cold feet and, for the most part, reverted to their erstwhile party fold. The resolutions were never squarely presented to the National Conventions of either Party at their sessions in Chicago.

I was then chosen President by the Executive Committee. Throughout the campaign, ending in the defeat of Herbert Hoover and in the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the League functioned only through its President who acted in his personal rather than in his official capacity. There were absolutely no means or resources at my disposal. My efforts were confined to releases widely published throughout the Negro Press in all parts of the country. In a non-partisan spirit, I pointed out that the best welfare of the Negro and of the nation was dependent upon the success of the "New Deal" in the then pending campaign. Both the nation and the Negro agreed in this judgment. Roosevelt was elected over his opponent by an unprecedented majority of which the Negro contributed his full share. So much is history. But what of the future? The work of the League has been accomplished. There is no longer any necessity for its existence. The Negro no longer looks to any particular party for his salvation. He thanks the Republican Party for its past favors, and denounces the by-gone evil deeds of the Democratic opponents; but seeing the future, he lets by-gones be by-gones. Whatever debt of gratitude he may have owed the "Grand Old Party" for its benefactions in the earlier days, has been paid by a generation of Party fealty.

As a matter of fact, hard and fast partisan lines no longer exist among white citizens. There was a time when each Party had a body of political doctrine and tenets which sharply differentiated the one from the other. The Republican Party believed in human rights, a strong centralized government to enforce those rights and a protective tariff as a means of national prosperity. On the other hand, the Democratic Party was unfriendly or indifferent to equality of citizenship, advocated states rights and local sovereignty and espoused the doctrine of free trade. When Senator David Bennett Hill of New York declared—"I am a Democrat" this was a sufficient avowal of political faith and could not be mistaken or misunderstood. But such a declaration today would be wholly without meaning. Senator Borah, a possible Republican nominee, for the Presidency, is much nearer in his political beliefs to Franklin D. Roosevelt than to Herbert Hoover. On the other hand, John W. Davis, former Democratic nominee, is nearer to Hoover than he is to Roosevelt. The country is no longer divided between Republicans and Democrats but between liberals and reactionaries, with Democrats and Republicans on both sides of the line. Franklin D. Roosevelt with his "New Deal" has broken down traditional Party lines. In the ensuing campaign no one will ask a voter whether he is a Democrat or Republican, but whether he does or does not uphold the policies of the "New Deal." The old partizan labels are merely titular, without any present day meaning. OUR ATTITUDE When it comes to the cal distinctions have meaning.

Many will yield to tl and ceceptive promise grime. But, on the who will find the Negro exponent and voting for wi best measures, man and Americanism: Giving jobs to the politically need them and letting hold the bag. When it comes to the Negro, the old political distinctions have absolutely lost their meaning. I knew of only one outstanding, dynamic Negro Republican who, by intellectual connection, as well as emotional persuasion, believes ardently and passionately in the tenets of the "Grand Old Party" at its best, and vainly deludes himself with the hope that it will, some day, return to its former moral grandeur. The Hon. Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman from Mississippi, bears that distinction. There are others who live on past hopes, but whose political effectiveness is a spent force. As for Negro Democrats, no such animal exists. The great majority of Negro political celebrities have deserted the Republican Party during the past three years; but they have been motivated merely by dissappointment at the failure of the Republican Party to live up to its high pretensions. They are merely vindictive Democrats. They do not profess to be Democrats by intellectual understanding or conviction as to the doctrine and tenets of that party, nor do they have any passionate devotion to these tenets. As a matter of fact, no such tenets exist today. The Negro political contingent, is therefore, shaping its political action about the issues of the day and hour, catching the managers living as they rise. The great bulk of Negroes, I opine, will vote for Roosevelt and "New Deal" in the coming election. Not because they believe that the policies sponsored and espoused by President Roosevelt are better calculated to promote the welfare of the race and the nation than those promulgated by his political opposition. Many will yield to the flattering persuasion and receptive promises of the olden-day regime. But, on the whole, the election of 1936 will find the Negro exercising his own judgment and voting for what he deems to be the best measures, man and movement. Americanism: Giving the good government jobs to the politically prominent who do not need them and letting the poor, needy ones hold the bag.

If the Democratic leaders of the present Congress had the political acumen of juniors, they would take advantage of Bora's extreme stand and promptly pass an anti-lynching bill at the next session,—leaving it up to Borah and the rest of the Republicans to oppose it,—leaving it to the next Republican administration (if they happen to get in again) either to repeal or to enforce it. Borah's present opposition is consistent with his past, but is it logically consistent all through, and is it honest? For example, he pretends to want to defend the "Constitution," and at the same time to be horrified by lynchings,—but he does not seem to realize that lynching and murdering captive humans violates not only the constitution of every state but also the laws of every other division of civilization. Borah also morally violates the constitution by assuming as a law-maker to usurp the prerogatives of the Supreme Court. He proclaims the anti-lynching bill to be "unconstitutional," implying that the only way to oppose lynching by national legislation would be to first amend the constitution. That is, he is not leaving it to the proper department of the government, the court, to pass on the constitutionality of the legislation. That is not honest, for he must know that the court is not certain to agree with him. I believe he even doubts that the court would agree with him,--else he and the other opponents of the bill would be less volent in their opposition, and would be willing to leave the determination of the constitutionality of legislation to the Supreme Court. Borah Does Not Intend to Be Agreeable Borah plainly implies that he would still hold the bill unconstitutional, even if the court decided that it is wholly constitutional. That he would have a right to do; no man can change his opinion even if the weight of authority is against him. But what he has no right to do is to help to obstruct the plain will of the majority of his fellow-senators who believe that the bill is good legislation and that the court will sustain it. He sets Borah's opinion up against equally competent authorities, when the opposing authorities are in the decided majority. The only morality in such a case would be for Borah and his minority to allow the proper authority, the Supreme Court, to decide the matter between the incompetent disputants, by passing the legislation and passing it on to the Supreme Court, or by at least permitting this majority to pass it. At least it must be admitted that his opinion of the constitutionality of the bill is a mere guess, because the only authority, according to the constitution itself, must be the court, in deciding that question. But he has no doubt, if we are to believe his words, that lynching is a horrible crime and ought to be opposed He Plays His Doubts Against His Convictions Therefore, it would be but logical for his doubts about the effectiveness of fighting lynching to yield to his convictions about the The...

The Anisfield award was established in 1934. Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book. desirability of doing away with lynching. He ought to take his chances against his doubts and in line with his convictions. However emphatic he may be about it, his own proclamations of "unconstitutionality" remain in the class of mere conjecture, for he is not the "constitutional" authority to decide that question. Besides, if he is horrified by lynching and at the same time as passionate and emotional toward preserving the constitution, as he says, he could only be acting consistently if he were sponsoring an amendment to make it possible for him and those of his class to act against lynching. If he believes that the only remedy is an amendment, he should be seeking that remedy. As the matter stands, he is only opposing those who seek the best remedy they know.—We seriously doubt the larger consistency and the unmixed honesty of this course. Calvin Says By FLOYD J. CALVIN Calvin Says By FLOYD J. CALVIN ETHIOPIA APPEALS Ethiopia has at last made the racial appeal in an effort to stem the tide of the Italian invasion, The Associated Press reports: "Ethiopia is trying to win native Erilreans to Haile Selassie's side by appealing to them as blood brothers. To reach the natives behind the Italian lines, the government has published a 20-page pamphlet which is to be smuggled into Italian territory. "Your mother. Ethiopia,' the document says, 'appeals to you. She adamonishes you, that you may not sin ignorantly.' It adds that Africans who fight against Ethiopia are 'sons of the devil' and that they will incur the malediction of God." Many colored Americans have doubted the wisdom of Ethiopia in refraining, for so long, from making this direct "blood brothers" appeal. Here in the United States and throughout the West Indies and the rest of Africa, Negroes have worked themselves into a frenzy of sympathetic support purely on the basis of "blood relationship" which exists between all Africans, or descendants of Africans. We have not been unmindful, however, of Ethiopia's position as a sovereign power, with international obligations based, not on race, but upon international law, Ethiopia's membership in the League of Nations placed her in such a position with the rest of the world powers that she could not readily resort to the racial appeal. But now that Mussolini has used Ethiopian kinsmen (as the backbone of his northern and southern push. it is high time Emperor Haile Selassie countered with the most telling blow that can be struck. If the fighting Akasivi can be won over to Ethiopia, Mussolini's cause will suffer irrevariable harm. The New York Herald Tribune, leading independent Republican newspaper of the East, has asked the opinion of outstanding Negro leaders on the "New Deal" and its relation to the Negro. Answers to the Republican query reveal "Negro leaders in the United States are divided today on the question whether the New Deal has improved the conditions prevalent among their race in the country, and are inclined to be highly critical of the politics at their expense in the solid South." Francis E. Rivers, Harlem Republican lawyer, formerly a member of the New York Assembly, says: "The New Deal, in its treatment of the Negro, has accelerated the treatment accorded the Negro by American society, to shove him out of gainful occupation by putting the force of government behind the segregation movement. The main effect of government in business, and the government regulation of business as regards the Negro, has been to make him an unemployable." Judge Charles E. Toney, of New York a Democrat, says: "I do not think it can be denied that if we regard the New Deal as something that was supposed to break new ground and open up new paths for those farthest down, the Negro has by no means secured the benefit to which his underprivileged position entitles him." Dr. R. R. Moton says: "The New Deal administration means to be fair. But the Negro, unfortunately, has always been out of the "of thought of the average governing officials. He suffered and continues to suffer because he is not included particularly by governmental agencies." Dr. W. E. R. DuBois and Walter White alike scored the New Deal for policies which have worked against the Negro as a group. PATRON SAINT Next Monday, December 23. is a day of great importance to Nega business in America. It is the birthday of Mme. C. J. Walker, pioneer business woman whose idea and the institution which represents it continue to live and prosper. The Negro press is especially indebted to Mme. Walker. for she started a vogue which has turned thousands of dollars into the coffers of the publishers in the form of advertising revenue. Indeed, Mme. Walker was one of the first large-scale advertisers in the Ne- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Questions Ethiopians' Interest In Negroes, Claims Race Developing Emotional Attitude By RENZIE B LEMUS. Last week the daily newspapers reported the departure of seventy-five Italians from New York for the Ethiopian war zones with two ambulances donated by Italo-Americans to the Fatherland for its invasion of Ethiopia. About the same time the weekly press recorded the departure from Ethiopia of the most spectacular Negro to thrice go there from the United States and the activities of "the race on behalf of their Abyssinian brothers" in mass meetings within the safe haven of Harlem. Thus far, "colored help" for Ethiopia has been confined to "lip service" and emotional raceologizing, chieby designed to make somebody conspicuous. A group of New Yorkers, headed up by the inevitable Dr. William Jay Schieffelein—when somebody's to be helped—assembled and shipped medical supplies to the Ethiopian capital. This group now seeks X-ray machines, which it will no doubt get and send along to the Ethiopians; but if any colored person is associated with it his name appearing on its published list is wholly unfamiliar to practically all readers of the daily newspapers. An Interview That the Ethiopian Emperor "looks down" on the presentious of American Negroes to blood kill and equality to Abyssinians has been fully set out in the New York Times by its correspondent at Addis Ababa, Joseph Israel's II. It was Mr. Israel's who broadcasted the translation of Haile Selassie's talk over the air to the universe from Addis Ababa about a month ago; and in quoting the Emperor whom he interviewed just after the broadcast on the pro-Ethiopian propaganda activities of colored persons in the United States Israel's wrote that "Haile Selassie observed how Europe was as strongly on Ethiopia's side as was Asia," having reference to the so-called colored races, and how amused the Emperor appeared to be over the claims of the descendants of West African slaves in this country to blood kinship with the direct, lineal descendants of King So'olomof of Israel. Some Negroes mettended to see in Mr. Israel's published interview with the King of Kings "a white man's desire to assist in pinning forever the bedge of inferiority on 'the Negro' of the United States." Aside from the established fact that the New York Times would be party to no such propaganda, however, there is another colored viewpoint; it is this: "I'd rather he livin' in my own comfortable home an' ridin' in my own car, with my kids in schol' an' healthy, the descendant of West Afcan slaves than a descendant of King Solomon 'xistin' in East Afcan mud an' squaler." Facts Published It has remained, however, for Liberty Magazine, a MacFadden weekly publication, to do most in this country looking toward establishing the facts of Abyssinia's rightful "Place in the Sun" historically and culturally. In Liberty of December 7, Dr. Charles Francis Potter, white, noted scholar, contributes an article under the title "What Christianity Owes Ethiopia." Dr Potter's treatise goes back to the year 64 B.C., to make known the fact that the last book of the New Testament. Revelation, either should not have been included or the "Book of Enoch" written and preserved for thirteen centuries by Ethiopians should have been included also, or in preference. Dr. Potter refers to it as Ethi- gro press. A lone woman, born of humble parentage and ir humble circumstances, she gave to the race and to the world a vision of making the Negro woman more lovely, and through this vision, new economic substance was born. Since Mme. Walker unfolded the idea of beautifying the race, there have been many imitators. In fact the beauty products field so soon as it was found Negroes were a market, became the biggest commodity industry in the race. Doubtless more money is spent on dressing the hair and otherwise beautiing the person than on insurance or education. The figures would at least prove interesting, if not startling. Anyway, pravers of thanks to the spirit of the late Mme. Walker should go un from Negro publishers on next Monday for the new era of profits which she opened up to them. J. C. THOMAS SPEAKS The southern field director of the National Urban League, a modest but persistent worker in the cause of social justice, gave some interesting facts in New Orleans, recently. Speaking on "The Achievement of Negroes in the Field of Education" on the Negro Achievement Week, program as observed by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Jesse O. Thomas said: "A gradual change in the attitude of educated Negroes toward the importance of political action in its relationship to social security is one of the outstanding achievements in the field of Negro education." This is the second time this year that POLITICAL ACTION has been stressed IN THE SOUTH by educators as a means of securing EQUAL RIGHTS. First at the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools meeting, and now. opic Enoch, and cites authorities to establish the truth that: "It was a best seller in the time of Jesus. He and Paul regarded it as sacred scripture. They both quoted from it, and it had an almost incalculable influence upon both of them." Declaring Ethiopic Enoch "the link between the Old Testament and the New," Dr. Potter calls upon all Christian nations to call a new council of all the branches of Christianity for united action. gratitude to the Ethiopians looking toward restoring to "its proper place in our Bible this important and extremely valuable Ethiopic Enoch." Meanwhile, certain American colored people continue to just emotionalize on grounds of "U. S. racelogy." TEXAS To the Editor: I am writing from Corsicana, Texas — typical town of the section. William Tecumseh Sherman once remarked: "If I owned both hell and Texas, I would rent out Texas." That is, by implication, Sherman would have preferred the hell part of the premises for his own comfort, — letting the worse part to the tenants. That suits some of Texas, and some Texans, to a "t" even today. But there are other sentiments at work in Texas: a dozen whites joined the Advancement Association, when we appeared in one Texas city, one of the local white university professors making himself a membership committeeman to enroll other whites. And I have seen some officers of government succumb to arguments in favor of human justice to colored Americans, in one little out of the way town, where there were evidently no Negroes, we stopped our auto to inquire for a direction. An older man gave it, and made a mistake,—later, before we got our car started, a younger man came out of the place in a pouring rain; to correct the error, and was exceedingly polite and human about it al, There are humans, — also many devils. I am traveling quite alone now, over some thousands of miles, before I go back to Oklahoma and pick up Roscoe Dunjee again, for a brief invasion of Texas in early December, — after which I may be left to many thousands or many hundreds of miles, — by my lonesome, in the "worst" parts of Texas, — southeast and east. There are still whites in these parts who snarl and scowl, as soon as you open your mouth and speak, and they detect from your language that you are not a trained and submissive animal, — and it is remarkable how instantly they can detect that. When a man feels his human equality and is conscious of being a man among men, he cannot well hide that spirit, even if he tried. And language and tone betrays one: a southern white once said, "It just makes me hot under the collar to hear a Negro using good English." Anything is possible here. There is absolutely no insurance of life for one or our lik, — however, law-abiding and good-willing we may be. We suffer no illusions, — but we do not hesitate. Straight forward is the way, — wherever it may lead.— There are colored men of courage who Live here. Sure we can Visit here. Take a man like R. D Evans, of Waco. He has been battling for his race, and for civilization, for a long generation in that little city. And what he has had to face! Once the judge told him plainly, about his Negro boy client: "I would acquit him — he ought to be acquitted,— but I am afraid that if I turn him loose without some punishment, the mob would get him,—and you, too." Think of a civilization where officers of law feel that they have save him from the worse vengeance to do injustice to an accused to ance of the mob! With some of the officers, of course, that becomes a mere pretext for their own race prejudice. As a whole, Texas is slightly above the Mississippi-Louisiana-Alabama class, — "as a whole,—but in spots it is as bad as Sherman's hell.

Glancing over the calendar again, we see that on the 20th of December the Derby Club plans to have a delightful Xmas dance, which is being looked forward to with great expectations. We understand that the Colonnade will be the place. The 29th of December has been set for the dawn dance of the Apomoxat Club. During conversation with a member of the club we understand the Masonic auditorium is the place. If this is true, it will perhaps be the last time that Washington will be able to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere afforded by what has been called "Washington's most beautiful dance auditorium." Lucky boys, these. What an enjoyable evening was spent by Attorney and Mrs. Emory B. Smith, Mrs. Ruth C Armstead and Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Turner on last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Condol, of Euclid Street, Northwest! Mr. Condol left Tuesday for Los Angeles, California, where he will be located indefinitely. Before 'leaving, he demonstrated just how "good old Italian spaghetti" should be made and judging from the intake of his guests—he knows how. Mr. Condol will be missed here very much as he was active in fraternal, educational and civic activities, yet we wish him great success in his new work. Mrs. Lillian Means Entertains Ramora. Club The club rooms of the Capital Pleasure Club presented a beautiful picture when the Ramona Bridge Club was entertained there last week by Mrs. Lillian Means. Mrs. Means was uniring in her efforts to please her guests. The service given the group by the management of the club was most satisfying and efficient. The club prizes were won by Miss Annie Willis; first; Mrs. Jessie Fletcher, second, and Miss Nollie Savoy. The guest prize was won by Mrs. Thelma Rogers. After cards the party motored to the "Chicken Shack" to complete the evening's pleasure. Those present were: guests. Mrs. Thelma Rogers, Mrs. Rose Battle, and Mrs. Marie Toole; members, Jessie Fletcher, Agnes Myers. Annie Willis, Mabel Miller, Irene Smith, Marie Matthews, Mary Ford and Nollie Savoy. It will be quite gratifying to many Washingtonians to know that Dr. H. Lerov Pelham, formerly of New York City, is located here. His reputation, as one of New York's most efficient physicians, has followed him to the city and already he has built up a creditable practice. "Success to you, Doc." Are you interested in having a beautiful Afghan? Then why not "kill two birds with one stone"? We know you want Camp Clarissa Scott to succeed and we know that you know how conscientiously its sponsors work in order to carry on the camp successfully during the summer. Then hurry and get a vote from a member of the committee entitleing you to a voice in the disposition of an extremely attractive afghan. The proceeds will be used to carry on the work of this camp. Ask about it. Mrs. William Butler, of Pittsburgh, Pa., spent several days in the city during the last week. He was the guest of Attorney Edward Beaubian, 1716 Second Street, Northwest, during his stay here. Miss Lula Jackson, one of the well known teachers in the city who has been quite ill has recovered and returned to her post of duty last week. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Thompson, of 2805 Thirteenth Street, Northeast, Brooklyn, D.C., spent the week-end in Philadelphia as guests of Dr. and Mrs. William Brown. Mrs. M. E. Cabaniss, of 1523 S Street.

DECEMBER 13. 1935 With Mrs. Roosevelt still believing in "blue" (she wore a gown of that shade when she addressed the Women's Faculty Club of Howard University t he other night) there's hardly a chance for the "green's", the "red's", the "black's" to back the "blue's" from off the map (or rather the fashion sheet). And it's a good thing too. For, Miss Edith Wright 916 Twentieth Street. Northwest sister of Mr. J. C. Wright, whose retirement from the District schools this month is being so keenly regretted) has a most interesting suit of "Navy Blue" (with a white silk blouse to go with it). And if she could see herself in it as the rest of us do, she'd spend many a day this winter wearing the "Navy Blue." The handsome stranger with the very soldierly bearing you've been seeing in tow $ _{n} $ this week is $ _{i} $ Colonel J. H. Ward. Medical Officer in Charge of the Veterans' Administration Hospital at Tuskegee. "Is it Willie" or "Isn't it?" That's what friends of Mr. William Fairley, formerly of Washington, were asking the other Sunday as they watched the smart New Yorker leave a well-kno, n church. It was "Willie" alright. And he was looking swell. But all of the credit can't go to New York. It's certainly true that the gay old town played a noble part in transforming "Willie" from another man to the dapper creature he is. But the honest-to-goodness reason for the beam that brightens his face, and the spring that quickens his step, is the grand gift Santa's arranging.

In 1934 the annual convention was held in Kansas City, Mo., with the hotels again falling in line. One of the features is an annual reception and dance. Although Kansas City is ordinarily as prejudiced as many sections of the South, at this event held in one of the biggest hotels, members of the city's aristocracy were in the receiving line to cordially receive all guests, of which seven or eight couples were Negroes. Colored guests danced with whites without protests. Ordinarily a definite agreement is made with hotels before a concession site is adopted, but as this year's session in Montreal the group chose Washington and appointed a committee to make all FOR DAIRY PRO of Superior Qu Phone DEcatur Cottage Cheese CREAMED Cottage Cheese PATTERNED BUTTER BUTTER Highest Quality Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase Pennsylvania Ave. at 26th St. Telephone : Decatur 1011 arrangements with capital hotels.

Atlantic City Okey Hotel owners of Atlantic City have assured the executive committee there will be absolutely no discrimination next year. In addition to Hill, members are Harry Lurie and Kard de Schweinitz At previous meetings white delegates have attended affairs given by Negroes for Negro delegates, on the ground that such events were tended for attending social workers which included themselves.

Phone Lincoln 5252 NEW YORK—The negotiations of a Baltimore publication to purchase the Amsterdam News fell through this week; it was learned; when the American Newspaper Guild, which is conducting a strike against the local paper, turned thumbs down on the offer of the editor of the Baltimore paper when he made it known that he would print the local paper in his Baltimore plant. The Amsterdam News, which is now being printed by union printers; is being picketed by the American Newspaper Guild because of the discharge of several employees of the editorial department. The paper, which is reported to have lost a large percentage of advertisements and circulation as a result of the strike, was found to be heavily in debt to the printers; an auditor, who accompanied the Baltimore editor to the plant found; it was reported. In the bargain, the editor is said to have offered the owner $2000 cash and payment of the debt; said to be $48000. The management shunned the offer, holding out fes $20,000 cash and payment of the debt. No Scabs The guild was in accord with having the Baltimore concern purchase the paper under an agreement to rehire the discharged employees, but when it was announced that the paper would be printed in Baltimore, the guild turned thumbs down; saying: "We cannot approve of taking the printing job from a union printer to be printed in a scab shop." It is reported that the Pittsburgh Courier is now negotiating with the News' management for the purchase of the paper.

(ANP — Raising the specter of lynching that has taken the lives of more than five thousand colored men and women and supported by Republicans and liberal-minded Democrats, Senator William E. King, succeeded in blocking the passage of the "reciprocal state compact bill" here in the State Senate Tuesday of last week. This bill, listed as No 38, provides that if any judge of any court of any state which passes a similar bill may by subpoena compel any resident of Illinois, who may be wanted as a material witness to go to that state to testify Cites Danger of Lynching Opposing the bill, Senator King made an impassioned address, in which he cited the danger faced by citizens of Illinois of color, being subpoenaed to appear in courts in the southern states in cases where After pointing out the prevalence of lynching, Senator King declared: "Whatever else this bill may do, there is one thing certain, it will pave the way and open wide the door on the slightest pretext for taking people of my race back to southern states, and God only knows what will follow once they are there. I know the proponents of this bill say that Illinois may exact a guarantee from the demanding state for the safe return of its citizens, but if a southern state cannot guarantee the security of Negroes of its own state how in God's name can Illinois hope for the protection of Negroes sent back to a southern state? "There is not a man on the floor of this Senate chamber who does not know that in every southern state there are two standards of justice and that to be a Negro is to be robbed of the protection of law. Pass this bill here tonight and you will place upon the gibbet of crucifixion 500,000 defenseless citizens of our state and strike the cruelest blow to the liberty and security of my race since the Dred Scott decision and the Fugitive Slave Law." Senator King had the united support of Republicans and Democratic liberals, led by Professor T. V. Smith, of the University of Chicago, who was elected to the State Senate in the past election. A spirited debate followed the speeches for and against the bill, ending finally with the defeat of the bill. The meeting was addressed by Dr. M. O. Bousefield of Chicago, past presiednt of the National Medical Association. Dr. Bousefield particularly stressed the National Security Act, as it affects Negro physicians.
