COLLEGE COED MURDERER GETS 30 YEARS Morgan College Suspended By C.I.A.A. Murderer of Virginia State College Coed Is Sentenced to 30 Years National Edition Morg Murderer State Colle Sentenced Wm. Faison Denies Crime Places Blame on Man Thought Husband of Girl GRUESOME TRAGEDY SHOCKED NATION Pretty Summer School Student Was Beaten to Death on River Bank (By ROYAL L. HURTT) PETERSBURG, Va. — When William Faison came before the "Bar of Justice" in the Hustings Court for the brutal murder, August 1, of Miss Annie L. Gresham of La Crosse, N. Y., a summer student at Virginia State College, there was not a single eye-witness to this heinous crime. Nevertheless, Charles E. Pollard, veteran Commonwealth attorney, skillfully wove the tangled threads to circumstantial evidence into a fabric of guilt, which defied the eloquence and logic of the defense course', Alexander Hamilton, Jr., to change its pattern. Faison waived the jury and was tried by Judge R. T. Wilson. He was found guilty and sentenced to 3 years in the penitentiary. The gruesome tragedy moved to a swift finale on that sultry August day! for within one hour and forty-five minutes from the time that Faison and Miss Gresham met, and curtain had fallen upon her stage of life forever. Here is the story as told by the various witnesses. Brought Liquor Miss Carrie Pope, and Miss Annie Gresham, whom Miss Pope had known for about 6 weeks, were walking on Grove Avenue about 7:30 p.m. on August 1, when Faison who knew Miss Pope, joined the two and was introduced to Miss Gresham. He was a World War veteran, and said that he had just drawn three Government checks. Faison suggested that they buy some liquor. They went to the home of Miss Corine Jones on Brown's Aley and bought a half pint. Miss Gresham said that she did not drink, and Miss Pope suggested that she might accept a treat in some other form. So, he went to a Jew store and bought potted ham, savines, bread, and ice cream. Having made these purchases, Faison told D. C. MINISTER DIES IN NEW YORK Body of the Rev. James F.

BALTIMORE WHITES ARE CHALLENGED BALTIMORE WHITES ARE CHALLENGED Judge Ulman Declares Two Races Are Far Apart in Monumental City BALTIMORE, Md. — Declaring that the colored and white citizens of this city are so far apart that Baltimore can well be considered two distinct cities, Judge Joseph N. Ulman, white, president the executive board of the Baltimore Urban League, stated in delivering an address at the twentieth anniversary celebration ceremony of the National Urban League, at the Douglass High School, last Thursday night. "If the white city and the Negro city are ever to become one city, a city in which white citizens and Negro citizens will enjoy equal rights of citizenship, in which Negro babies will have the same chance as white babies to grow up into useful and healthful manhood, then white men and women and Negro men and women must work together to bring these things about." Judge Ulman said. Challenges White Baltimore "There are five thousand potential leaders in Baltimore's Negro city. It is too much to hope that there are an equal number of white men and women who will rally to the call for leadership, for cooperation. "If a single thousand of my fellow citizens in White Baltimore will arouse themselves to their city's urgent need; will align themselves activity in the efforts of the Urban League, and will work with Negro Baltimore for making a better Baltimore, there (See BALTIMORE, Page 2). 6 Years Separated, Hubby Sues for Divorce Mrs. Phenie Starks Booker, 726 Harvard Street, Northwest, was made defendant in a suit for absolute divorce, filed by her husband, Stanhope N.

Howard University Is Not Public, Supreme Court Holds The Supreme Court of the United States ruled Monday, that the dormitories at Howard University are not public buildings, thereby upholding the decision of the United States Court of Appeals. The issue was raised in a suit filed by R. Bland Phelps, local stone contractor, against Jerry Maiatico Construction Company, in an effort to collect $70,000 due out of the original $470,000 cost of constructing the new dormitories at Howard University, in 1932. Attorneys for Phelps contended that because the university is under the Department of the Interior, and that funds for construction are allotted by the department, the buildings so could constructed; would; in the nature of the case; be public. The Supreme Court held that the fact Roward University is under the Interior Department made no difference. . . It is not a public institution; it held.

HERNDON DECISION AFFECTS 18 UNDER GA. "SLAVE LAW'. ATLANTA, Ga, (CNA)—When Judge Hugh M. Dorsey held the Georgia "slave" law unconstitutional, the ruling not only freed Angelo Herndon, but it affected the fate of eighteen other Negro and white defendants who were indicted under the same law. Cases The most widely know of the eighteen defendants are the "Atlanta Six." They are Ann Burlak white, Communist leader, Mary Dalton, white, Herbert Newton; secretary of he International Labor defense in Chicago, Henry Story, militant worker of Atlanta, and two white labor organizers. It is believed that the first time the "insurrection" law was invoked since 1865 was in the "Atlanta Six" cases in 1230. These defendants are under indictment but are free on bail totaling $18,000. The eleven remaining defendants were held under the law for membership in the International Workers Order, the only Negro and white fraternal insurance company in the United States.

It was vember 7, in Fulton tower Jail to die, were talking and playing pushed into the cell block and ecdon—judge Dorsey held the law or bail." (Editor's Note—Marguerite Young interviewed Herndon here in Washington at Union Station for the Daily Worker.) Angelo Herndon had just closed the covers of "Sawdust Caesar," and was stretching his legs thinking over the anti-fascist book about Mussolini's distrustship. It was visiting hour, a little before noon December 7, in Fulton Tower Jail. The other prisoners, all condemned to die, were talking and playing cards. Suddenly a newspaper man rushed into the cell block and exclaimed: "Good news for you, Herndon—Judge Dorsey held the law unconstitutional—you're going out or bail." "I don't remember all I said," Herdron related here today, "but I do know I told one of the prisoners 'this is the happiest day of my life. I couldn't have been any happier on the day I was born.'" We were sitting at Union Station lunch counter. A moment earlier Herdron had stepped off a jim-crow coach from Atlanta. In another twenty minutes he would board a train for New York. There thousands would meet him—would cheer for another great victory in the history-making united front defense campaign that won it—would cheer for this youth who was again showing the modesty and sheer courage that made him a hero. Cheered on by Prisoners "The turnkey told me to get my things because they'd come for me at any time." Herndon related, "I wanted to collect my books." It was books—books and pamphlets which Herndon had in his possessions.

Books were given him freely, however, during his last five weeks' stay in "Big Rock" Jail—books and cheese cakes and letters and everything else sent to him—because by this time the jailers knew that hundreds of thousands outside were organized behind their slender prisoner. "First the turnkey said I couldn't get the books." Herndon continued. "But the other prisoners already were gathered around, pushing them into my bag. They packed everything.

HERNDON TELLS SCOTTSBORO BOYS 'DON'T LOSE HEART' ATLANTA, Ga. (CNA)—When young Angelo Herndon, world-famous political prisoner walked out of Fulton jail here last Saturday a free man, his first words were: "This is a victory for the United Front." He explained that the "United Front" meant the united action of all those who had buried the hatchet and come together for his freedom. The "United Front" included Communists, Socialists, the International Labor Defense (in charge of his defense) the League for Industrial Democracy, numerous Negro organizations, and "people of varying shades of political and religious beliefs," Herndon declared. The first thing he did when released was to send a telegram to the Scottboro boys in jail in Birmingham, telling them "not to lose heart, for the cause of the workers in the South will not go down to defeat."

It is absolutely essential that this project, dealing solely with adults, be backed up by a similar case-finding campaign among the high school students, as that carried out in the spring of this year. Many undiscovered cases in the schools were then brought to light and placed under proper medical supervision, saving not only prolonged hospitalization with the attendant expense, but also in many cases the life of the individual. "The American Medical Association has just published the total expense in hospitalization for the care of the tuberculous in the United States at $75,906,582. Over 57 per cent of the adults entering institutions had the disease in a far advanced stage.

Body Refuses to Deny Baltimoreans Football Championship for Year SIMPSON CLEARED, BUT SCHOOL "PUT ON SPOT" Criticisms Flung at Institution for Passisg Athlete Absent 4 Weeks CHAROTTE, N. C.—Eleven of the thirteen colleges comprising the Intercollegiate Athletic Association voted to suspend all athletic teams of Morgan College pending a settlement of differences on student eligibility existing between the association eligibility committee and the Baltimore institution, at the annual meeting of the body here at Johnson C. Smith University. Last Friday and Saturday. The action came after a lengthy discussion of the eligibility of William (Wild Bill) Simpson, stellar Morgan College backfield player, which lasted through the better part of Friday afternoon. Simpson's eligibility was questioned when it was reported he had remained away from school the better part of four weeks during the last Easter vacation. This absence was in excess of those allowed by most of the schools in the CIAA. and it was presumed that Morgan would declare the player ineligible to participate in the varsity sports of the ensuing semester. Had Simpson OK'd This, Morgan did not do, it was reported. Instead, officials of the Baltimore school contacted Clarence W. Davis, chairman of the general eligibility committee of the association. Mr. Davis, according to the report, was called on to investigate the case. As a result, it seems, the group headed by the Howard University athletic head, declared Simpson "technically eligible." This decision was reached after it was disclosed that Morgan's attendance requirements were not as severe as those of some of the other schools in the association. It was further revealed that Simpson had taken examinations on his return to school and had received passing marks in the four subjects in which he was tested. A bitter fight ensued.

WALT DISNEY presents MICKEY MOUSE in "PLAYFUL PLUTO." and "Mickey's Mellerdrammer" TEN BROWNSKIN ENVY OF WORLD SAYS EXPERT By FAY M. JACKSON (Studio Correspondent for ANP) HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Every so often Hollywood has amazingly lucid moments. "I predict that by 1940 sun tan skin will be the rule rather than the exception, was a remark made recently by Jack Dawn, head of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer make-up department. Going over a series of photographs of dark-skinned women, Dawn mused further that in a few years hence society will find little room for what is now known as the famous "hothouse flower." "Women have never fully realized how becoming sun-tan complexions can be. They are as flattering to blondes as they are to brunettes," he continued, evidently unaware that he was describing most vividly the natural sun-tan of colored women. That Sun-Tan Complexion "The sun-tan complexion might well be the envy of the feminine population of the rest of the world," was the final opinion of filimland's most expert maker-upper. No less an authority than Robert Edmond Jones, leading New York stage designer, who arrived here as a color designer for Poineer Pictures, is responsible for the statement that in the not-so-distant future the entire product of the industry will be done in color. Jones, acknowledged master craftsman of light, shadow and color, declared that in addition to more than a hundred short subjects, twelve full-length features are scheduled to be produced in color during the coming season. Black and white pictures will be as old-fashioned as silent pictures are today. Elaborate experiments with a new secret color photography are being conducted at Paramount studios. New pigments for the manufacture of paints used on sets have been purchased. The study of lighting and its relationship to the amount of makeup necessary on the players has begun. Negro Invasion It is neither facetious nor far-fetched to predict that colored performers in motion pictures have only begun to invade the industry with their talent and their type. Not so long ago, it was not uncommon for white extra players to work under cork, or very dark makeup. It was discovered that Nope players not only performed it well, but were less expense for Children's Pre-Christmas Picture Classic having the makeup naturally. It remained for the industrious, well trained Negro actor and an articulate Negro press to convince Hollywood that the true, present Negro type has had the cotton blossoms removed from his beard and the ubangi sliced from his lips without sacrificing what claims he might have had to native rhythm and emotional power.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE STARS By Abbé' Wallace Youngest Mentalist ON THE AMERICAN STAGE C. B. Y.—Do you think we will E.F.—Would it be safe for me to be successful in paying for what to keep on working for this wo man? Ans: You'll surely have to do some close living during the next few months to keep up on the payments on the furniture and linens you bought. I advise you not to even consider buying a car until you have this debt entirely cleared up. S.A.—Do you think I should stay where I am now? Ans: No—You would benefit in more ways than one to move, and it is my impression that Phoenix, Arizona will be your next location. An opportunity will come to you the first of next year, to make this change. B.L.A.—If I marry do you think I will have any trouble? Ans: If you marry, it will be rather difficult for you to get your baby back with you, therefore, you should bring it back home before you think about marrying-Your baby is better off at present, where it is, and you should leave it there awhile longer. B.C.-I to found a man fifty cents and I want to know if he is going to pay it back to me? Ans: Several times in the past you have loaned this man money, and he always pays you back promptly, so don't feel so hard toward him for letting it slip his mind. He promised faithfully that he would pay you back and you can take his word for it. T.E.R.-I would like to figure out some way to make a living next year, and I believe you can help me? Ans: During the year of 1926 you'll make your living farming. The farm your uncle owns is just idle now, and he would be more than glad for you to move out there and keep the place up. The coll there is very fertile and you'll have no trouble raising a good crop. NOTE: Your question answered in this paper—ONLY when a clipping of this column is enclosed in your letter.

DECEMBER 17, 1935 E.F.—Would it be safe for me to keep on working for this woman? Ans: It would be safer for you to keep working that it would be to give up your job. The woman you are working for doesn't blame you for the disappearance of the pieces of fur that she can't find, so don't let this cause you to give up your job. She knows she just mislaid them but can't figure out where. F.J.—Is it worthwhile for me to continue to live as I am? Ans: No—For even if your boy friend did have a job, he is too tight to help you out of your financial stress. F.M.P.—Will the stranger that came to my house come back? Ans: This hobo that came to your house just wanted a good meal, and he only talked nice to you in return for feeding him. He won't come back to see you. G.L.—Is it true that my husband was married to the woman he lived with before he married me? Ans: Yes. He was legally married to her. However, his separation was also made legal before he married you. L.P.—Why did this man quit me like he did?.. I thought he cared fo me. Ans: After you stopped giving this man money and keeping him up, he had no more use for your and went out looking for someone else to support him. You'll never get back all the money you spent on him. M.G.F.-How will our situation work out? I am very upset over matters now. Ans: You appear to be a very Food manager and if you keep holding on to your money as closely as you have it the past few months, everything will turn out all right.

Said to be a Fake; Jones Is the Business Manager D. A.'S OFFICE CONSULTED Bills and Letters Heads Have Howard University As Headquarters Indications that the District Attorney's office would be called in to help settle a dispute between Eugene Davidson, general alumni secretary of Howard University, and Mishael, (Casey) Jones, ousted advertising manager of the Alumni Journal, loomed here this week. The Tribune learned from a reliable and official source that Jones has tied the hands of Davidson, editor of the Journal, to such an extent that the monthly publication of the alumni association has not been published since the first issue last September Following the allegedly refusal of Jones to turn over certain money collected for advertising: Davidson discontinued his services as advertising manager, later deputizing him (Jones) as an advertising solicitor, when Frederick D. Wilkinson, registrar of Howard University, acting as intermediary in the dispute conferred with Jones and Davidson in his office. $270 Unaccounted At the time of the conference in Wilkinson's office, Jones is reported to have had approximately $270 in contracts for advertising, for the October issue of the Journal, none of which, to date, has been turned over to the alumni secretary. Since the publication is dependent on the money it collects in advertisings, no issue has been published since September. ,Asked for the contracts of the advertisements and copy, by the alumni secretary, Jones is said to have refused, whereupon Davidson asked him to turn in his key to the office, which Jones did. Organization "Fake" In the meantime another organization has sprung up known as the Alumni Association of Washington, D. C., reputedly with headquarters in the Main Building, at Howard University. Jones is said to be presenting himself as business manager of this organization, and as such has solicited advertising for a publication, allegedly being published by the Alumni Association of Washington, D. C. The project was discovered last Saturday, when a letter written to Victor Cushwa and Sons, of Williamsport, Va., was erroniously addressed to Pennsylvania, and was returned to the alumni office at Howard University and placed in the mail box of Davidson at the University Post Office. Letter Bounces Back The letter is said to have thanked the company for an "order for one page in the Howard University Washington Alumni Publication," and thanking the company for a "check for the sum of $90 covering cost of same." The letter also stated that the "publishers" "Mr. Casselle" and Jones were grateful for the promptness with which the money was sent. The letter was signed by "Misahel Jones, Business Manager." Another loop-hole in the project, allegedly devised by Jones, was the printing of letter heads and bills with an address as Howard Uniervsity, Main Building. Bills Sent Out Among those who were billed for advertisements were the Jandous Electric Company, Inc., of New York City, and the M. H. Pagenhardt Company, of this city. In the same mail that the returned letter was found, were checks from the above two concerns, for $25 each, made payable to the Alumni Association of Washington, D. C. The bill from the Pagenhardt Company indicated that it had paid $25 previously, was paying $25 in the enclosed letter, and had a balance due of $25. A reporter for The Tribune could not find such an organization as the Alumni Association of Wash- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1935 ington, D. C. Howard University officials said that they knew of no such organization and that none had headquarters at Howard University. Jones, who was former alumni secretary and editor of the journal, was contacted by Davidson to be advertising manager for the journal. All money made over the cost of publishing the magazine would go to Jones as his commission, according to the verbal contract. All money collected would be turned over to the alumni secretary, and forwarded to the treasurer. All disbursements were to be made by the treasurer on a voucher submitted by the secretary, according to the understanding. Journal Tied After the publication of the September issue, Jones is said to have started soliciting advertising for the October issue, which was to be dedicated to the sub-contractors of the Power House at the university, now under construction. Advertisements were solicited from these various sub-contracts, to the amount of $207, it is reported. When the magazine was ready to go to press, Jones was asked for the contracts and money collected, but failed to turn them over, it is reported, at the time, urging for a contract from the alumni secretary giving him authority to handle all money collected. Davidson refused to issue him such a contract, and ordered him to turn over the key. Wilkinson Intervenes The controversy reached Wilkinson and a conference was called, whereupon the matter was persuasively settled, though Jones still held out the money, it is reported. Davidson then made Jones an advertising agent, with the latter acting in that capacity until Davidson went to his mail box to find that Jones had created another organization, acting as its business manager, and soliciting advertisements under the authority of tiths new "organization." In a statement to The Tribune, Monday, Jones said his Organization is the Howard Alumni of Washington, which was formed over a month ago. He said his newly-formed group is publishing a magazine which will be specially dedicated to the Heat, Light and Power Plant at the university. He said his publication is not connected with the Howard Alumni Journal. Jones denied the allegations of Davidson and stated that he has several contracts for advertising in the new publication which will be sent to press in the near future. All contracts and moneyys collected were in the name of the new publication, Jones said BALTIMORE (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) will be a great rejoicing in the Kingdom of Heaven." Judge Ulman traced his contacts with the Baltimore Negro from the time he was an infant with a Negro servant in his house. For a long period, he told the audience, he regarded the servant as just a servant. As time went on, he said, he began to realize that a Negro was not necessarily a servant. "I think I was eighteen when I met Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and I remember my surprise over the discovery that he spoke English and not the dialect of his poems. When I began to practice law I met one or two Negro lawyers, but met them only casually and did not really come to know them. Meanwhile, I read the Sun newspaper and got a general impression that Negroes committed far more than their due proportion of crimes. "I walked or drove through the Negro sections of the city and saw that most of the houses were rundown and shabby. These things troubled me. The phrase, "underprivileged," had no become fashionable, yet, I found myself wondering to what extent Negro deficiency was biological and inescapable, and to what extent it was the result of outside influence. Put another way, I wondered how much it was the Negroes' fault and how much it was my fault," the judge said. Disease Affects All Judge Ulman told the audience that his interest was specifically aroused fifteen years ago, when he attended a fair given by the Masonic Lodge, at which time the hall was filled with a crowd of approximately five hundred orderly, good-mannered and well-dressed colored people. This, he said, gave him a favorable impression of the Negro Baltimore. "If the Negro city has a mortality rate of 198.6 per 100,000 for tuberculosis and the white city a rate of only 50.7 that; is something for us to worry about, even if I am a purely selfish white man. To put it crudely, the greater incidence of infectious diseases, the greater proportion of crime, the greater economic insufficiency and poverty, in the Negro city, are all threats against the health and well-being of the white city," the speaker said. BAR GROUP TO MEET The members of the Washington Bar Association will meet Thursday at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R Street, New west; at 8:30 p.m. Thurman L: Dodson is president of the association; HERNDON (Continued from Page 1) led down to the sheriff's office several came close and whispered "Keep up the goodw work." Left Prison Alone There was a long wait in the sheriff's office. In the next room a political meeting was going on. Ward bosses were planning a campaign. Over and over Herndon could hear them talking excitedly about the decision. Soon, however, his lawyer had met the bond rehis lawyer, and he was free to leave. He left alone "Didn't you know that' your friends in New York were worried about your safety?" we asked. We knew that for weeks the Atlanta Constitution, had been whipping up hysteria against the reds. It was incensed because, several times, conspicuous points in the city had been plastered overnight with Defend-Hernford leaflets. Mop up the reds. Drive out the "Alien agitators," the paper was screaming. "Yes," he said simply, "I knew it. I'd read the papers. But I didn't have any apprehension." Recognized by Friends Herndon was recognized on the streets but by friends. The Atlanta Constitution's campaign had been in vain. They sailed along the street, many strangers smiled. Herndon went to the office of his lawyer, W. A. Sutherland, retained by Whitney North Seymour, a former Assistant Solicitor General of the United States who in turn was retained by the International Labor Defense for the case. Then, as casually, Herndon went to a movie. A Negro passerby stared, paused, Herndon walked on. Then man ran after him and said, "Excuse me, aren't you Mr. Herndon?" "Yes" he said, "but don't stop me long." The man said, "I understand," smiled, disappeared. Near the theatre, Herndon met an old friend. They went in and saw something about Tarzan. There was just time for a hair cut before he took the train. Greeted on Trip Meanwhile the defense organizations in New York had been telephoning to complete arrangements, Herndon was accompanied to Washington by Edward R. Kane, a lawyer from Sutherland's office. Here Louis Colman of the International Labor Defense met him. In Philadelphia, Anna Damon, acting national secretary of the LLLD, and others from the Join Committee to aid the Herndon Defense were waiting. At Jersey City a big group waited. "If you finally had to go to the chain gang," another reporter asked him today, "would you still think it hadn't been in vain?" "Of course," he answered. "Thousands of people, workers and intellectuals and Negroes who, otherwise mightn't have come in to the labor movement, are in it now in the defense campaign. "I'm sure, too that this victory alone will encourage organization of workers, especially local trade unions in the South. But I'm not going back to the chain gang"—Herndon smiled. "We have a much better chance now, since the law is declared unconstitutional, there won't be any loopholes such as the technicality in which we United States Supreme Court declined to act." Sees Victory as Aid to Slcborso. "Do you think the American Federation of Labor's adoption of a resolution condemning the slave law helped to win you the writ?" he was asked. He replied. "Yes, decidedly. But even more important was the fact that so many workers' defense organizations and other groups joined in the campaign. Those more than a million signatures on petitions to the led to the A.F.L's action and aled to the A.F. Ls action and aroused millions against the 'insurrection' law. And it was the thought that the united front against all forms of fascist reaction will be spurred anew by this victory" that buoyed Herndon. For this he beamed. He said, "This must, this will mean a broader campaign for the Scottboro boys. It will mean more and stronger united front actions against anti-union legislation, against war, in defense of civil rights and labor standards wherever they are attacked." Workers Greet Him The waiters behind the counter grouped at a 'distance and whispered, smiling at Herndon. He seemed oblivious, sitting there, bright-eyed. He wanted news—news of the labor movement he entered five jobs ago when a 17-year-old jobless miner, he ran across a sign inviting the jobless to meet and organize, to fight instead of starve. Thus he joined an Unemployment Council in Birmingham. For organizing, he was sentenced to the chain gang. "Would you go back to the South to carry on organization work?" a reporter asked him. "Of course—yes, it would be dangerous," he reflected, "but if I were needed, I would like very much to go, not only because I'm interested in the south, but because there's so much to win, there." Coming up from the South a porter came through the coach with coffee. He looked, alert but uncertain, while Herndon took a cup. He went to the end of the coach, stood behind the door and peered back for a moment, then returned and asked, "aren't you Herndon?" The news spread back to the kitchen, and soon a full-sized breakfast was set down before Herndon ni the jim-crow train whose dinar he could not enter. A Real Xmas Gift!

(ANP) — Sentenced to die here today, John Henry Sloane, of Moultrie; was given a new lease on life through an order of the United States Court of the Middle District of Georgia, staying the execution un-til that court could hear a petition of habeas corpus on January 6. The petition was filed by Attorney Harry B. Streazer, write, and points out that the trial was a mere sham and that the presence of the mob threatening to lynch the prisoner outside the court-house and in full view of the jurors, as well as known intense feeling against the prisoner, made it impossible for the jurors to render a just decision. the Moultrie courtouse, I thought it was all over, but those soldiers took their rifles and shoched 'em back. I saw some of the man on the mob fall when those soldiers hit with their rifles, but I don't remember hearing any shots. I'm telling you those soldiers were swell to me." He maintained this attitude even after his counsel had apprised him of the stay of execution. He simply thanked him for seeing that "I can stay in this jail a little longer," adding, "I have made some mighty good friends in here and I don't want to leave them yet. The jailer is a good man and he likes me, too. So, if you have fixed it so I can Cites Mob Violence Attorney Streazer in his petition referred to the fact that the killing of the white man, Gay, for which Sloane was sentenced to die, had already caused the lynching of one Negro, and that only the presence of guardsmen prevented Sloane from being lynched, the guardsmen being forced to use their bayonets and tear gas bombs to defeat the purpose of the mob. "The petitioner," said the petition, "tays that under all the circumstances related, the purported trial was a mere sham and pretense, and that counsel, jury and judge were swept to the fatal end by an irresistable wave of public passion in the belief that the immediate conviction of the petitioner was the only way of avoiding an immediate outbreak by a mob. "He alleges that his counsel was prevented from making a motion for change of venue or continuance because of a fear that such a motion would result in mob-violence or other harm to the petitioner, and from making a motion for a new trial by reason of the fact that the court adjourned the term without knowledge of the petitioner's counsel and contrary to his expectation." Defendant Ignorant of Sentence In the meantime, Sloane is in the Bibb County jail absolutely ignorant of his impending doom. Since the trial, when he was brought here by national guardsmen, he has labored under the impression that he had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Fellow prisoners have tried to impress him with the truth, but to no avail. He simply finds happiness in the fact that he is "through being chased by white folks." "All my life," he confided to John Hogan, a fellow prisoner. "I have been running from white folks in Florida, where I was born, and in Georgia. No, I'm going to prison for life and my running is over. 'Course, when that mob made that break for me at Agreebly Separated Nins Years; Man Asks Out Because of a voluntary separation in February, 1926, which has never been protested against by either party, Frank T.

The Italians don't make much of it because it is inconsistent with their claims of "civilizing" Ethiopia a la European fashion, but the backbone of their offensive are the Askari troops recruited from their possessions in Africa, typical members of which are shown above.

Told of Fight About midnight, Prince Chapman, who lives within 40 yards of the secene of the crime, was awaken by some one tapping on the door with a stick, and upon opening it saw Faison, who asked permission to stay for the night, to which Chapman, who knew him, readily agreed. According to Chapman, before Faison fell asleep he asked him (Chapman) whether he had heard a woman screaming, and being answered in the negative, said that a man and a woman had been fighting on the river bank, and the man had beaten the woman. He also, told him that he met a mighty fine woman who had said that she was a teacher at the state college, but as they were walking up the street a man whom he thought to be her husband, had met them and scolding the woman for having kept him waiting, for her for two hours, had taken his (Faison's) stick from him, had beaten her with it. Confessed Murder of Girl Before leaving early the next morning, Chapman swore that Faison told him that he had killed the school teacher he met the evening before, when she resisted improper advances which he had made to her. On the night of the murder, Ben Gatling, his wife, and another companion were fishing on the banks of the Appomattox River, by the light of a lantern, when a clear spot in a patch of weeds, they discovered some sardines, potted ham, bread and ice cream. Also, some woman's clothes, a battered white shoe, and a pool of blood. There was evidence of a struggle having taken place, and a crimson trail led to the river, where floating on the water near the bank, was the body of Miss Annie L. Gresham. Gatling reported his discovery to the police. City Coroner, Dr. E. L. McGill, testified that the girl had a severe scalp wound, but, not sufficient to cause death, and that she was alive but unconscious, when thrown into the water. Besides her body was the broken stick, which Faison allegedly used as a cane when he met the girl a few hours before. Detective Beasley testified that when he searched the room where Faison had slept the night of the murder, he found a powder puff, which a half sister of the dead girl, who had occupied the same room at Virginia State College, identified as that of Miss Gresham, Algie Knox, clearner and presser, also identified the puff as one he had seen in the purse of the student when she paid for cleaning her clothes, on the day of her death. They both emphasized the fact that the puff was heavily bauded with lipstick on one side. DOUGLASS MURAL TO BE PLACED IN HALL AT HOWARD Chicago Artist to Paint Work in Honor of Great Negro The trustees of Howard University have approved the following murals to be placed on the walls of Frederick Douglass Memorial Hall, the same to be painted by Archibald J. Motley, Chicago artist, being the project of the Relief Art Projects Department of the Procurement Division of the U. S. Treasury: A standing figure of Frederick Douglass with his hand resting on the head of a Negro youth; opposite this mural a standing figure of Abraham Lincoln with his hand resting on the head of a Negro youth; Frederick Douglass as a straping boy of seventeen, driving a team of oxen through the hilly countryside of Maryland, as Edward Covey, the brutal slave breaker, watches him; The funeral services for Douglass at the Central Presbyterian Church in Rochester, New York. Theodore Roosevelt, then governor of New York, will be shown addressing a large audience of white and colored people, and the mayor and city council will be shown in attendance; the escape of Douglass from slavery on September 3, 1838. Douglass will be represented in the borrowed clothes of a sailor, which served as his disguise, boarding a train and surrounded by a crowd of white and colored people at the depot; Douglass during the period in which he published the "North Star" in Rochester, N.Y. The scene will depict the publication of the newspaper, with men working at the presses, setting type, and performing other duties, while Douglass supervises the work. (Rochester was Douglass's home for many years after his return from Europe in April, 1847, and his house became one of the underground Railroad Stations. The "North Star" first was published on December 3, 1847, the title latter changed to Frederick Douglass's Paper); Douglass reviewing the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry Volunteers. (With the advent of the Civil War, after the election of Lincoln, one of Douglass's several tasks was to assist in organizing these two regiments of colored troops in the United States. Two of his sons became members of these regiments. Later Douglass called upon Lincoln, presented the facts concerning the ill treatment of colored soldiers, and effected a remedy of the evils.) Mr. Motley hopes to complete the murals and to place them on the walls of Frederick Douglass Memorial H-11 before the end of the present school year 5.000 HEAR (Con. from pg. 1, sect. 2) with which the Negro leaders are going forward toward achieving their goal While it may seem slow, she has come to realize that what at times seems to be slow advances are rapid, marches forward. The Negro must establish better living conditions, the audience was told. They can't become more intellectual unless they live on a higher level, Mrs. Roosevelt said. The First Lady told her audience to be patient, and work toward the greater objectives enunciated by her. Takes Time "You cannot expect a people to change overnight, when they have had injustices heaped upon them. You can't expect of them all that we would of other groups. This holds true of all underprivileged people in all countries. "We realize the desirability today of many social changes, and we must realize that in making those changes, we must accept the responsibility of giving assistance to those people who have not had fair opportunities in the past. "There has been some criticism that the Government has not been at all times fair to the Negro. I am inclined to believe that it has not been fair at all times, but it is not always possible for those at the top to prevent the unfair thing complained of, but by working together toward that end, we will accomplish it." Mrs. Roosevelt said One's Ability "Ability should be the criterion on which all people are judged. We should recognize this criterion when dealing with all human beings. There is no reason in the world, why all races in the country should not live together, each giving from their particular gifts what the other does not have, and thereby contributing to the world, peace on earth, good will to men," the President's wife concluded. The auditorium in which Mrs. Roosevelt spoke, was filled with 2500 persons. The crowd was so tremendous that amplifiers were placed in the gymnasium unstairs and approximately 1500 listened to the address from that floor. More than a thousand were unable to obtain admission at all. Mrs. Roosevelt was escorted to the platform by eight boy scouts of the Baltimore Troop, 275 276.

William Jones told the court that Faison came to his home on the night of the murder, and told him that a man had taken his stick from him, and asked him to give him one to use for walking cane.

Jefferson, chief of police, stated that Faison was traced to Philadelphia, by his disability check.

Determined to get his check, he went to the Veterans Bureau in Washington, and then wrote to his senator, directing that his check be sent to 2553 N. Woodstock Avenue, Philadelphia. The senator answered his letter, advising that he was wanted in Petersburg for murder. Nevertheless he went to this address to receive the check and was arrested within a block of the house. Denied Killing Girl Faison $ ^{n} $ was the only witness in his behalf. He admitted all of the circumstances which were ar- rayed against him, but gave for each an explanation, consistent with his innocence. He admitted that he was with Miss Gresham at the various places and times that the commonwealth's witnesses placed him. He also, admitted that the death weapon found beside the body of the girl was his walking stick, but, he said that while he was walking on Grove Avenue, a tall brown man, with a small mustache, wearing a gray suit, gray hat, light-colored shirt with sripes, and tan English low quarter shoes, met them; and scolding the woman for having kept him waiting for two hours, grabbed his (Faison's) stick and began to beat her. He said that he did not interfere because he thought that it was the girl's husband. He further admitted staying at the home of Chapman the night of the crime, but, said that he suddenly remembered that he had promised to lend Chapman some money, and went to take it to him.

The scholarship standards and all-round conduct of things pertaining to students with athletic ability was criticized, and Morgan was shown to be too loose in her eligibility requirements. It was pointed out by Baltimore delegates that although Simpson had been absent during the period charged to him, he had, on his return to school, taken examinations in four major subjects, received passing grades and given a clean slate by the professors teaching the subjects included in his curricula. Played When Declared Eligible Morgan representatives further stated that the youth had been permitted to play football only after he had been declared "technically eligible" by CIAA authorities. A sub-committee was appointed to study the case and report on it the following morning. This subcommittee was headed by James T. Rowland, newly appointed coach at Bluefield Institute, West Virginia. On Saturday afternoon, the subcommittee recommended the acknowledgement of Morgan College as football champion for 1935, de-note the use of Simpson. The latter, the report read, was "technically eligible" and was used autoritatively by the Bean grid coaches. Recommends Suspension Further recommendations, however, urged that Morgan College be suspended from the association until such a time as it is felt necessary for the association to conduct a thorough investigation into the eligibility standards at the Baltimore school; and until Morgan's requirements are brought up to the same level of strictness that is in force at other CIAA 'institutions. Baltimore delegates protested vigorously against what they considered "an unjust attempt to cast reflections on the school's internal affairs." The recommendation, however, was adopted. Of the thirteen member schools, only Union and Morgan faille to vote. A Washington angle was found in the talk of Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education in D. C. public schools and president of the Eastern Board of Officials. Mr. Henderson, a delegate from the Washington officials body, urged the adoption of a more systematic method of assigning. He also suggested the importance of having a joint officials group given representation in the CIAA.

DECEMBER 17, 1935 Cutting on the Band Wagon Too Soon Long before the parade starts, boys will climb upon the band wagon and pretend they are the real players, drum major and all. Our brothers are playing the same game, by holding meetings and endorsing candidates for the presidency, before the organized parties have set the machinery in motion. Being too fast is as bad as being too slow, because the enthusiasm will peter out before the time comes for effective work. Already democratic and republican candidates have been endorsed by meetings, but those same sections have been overlooking endorsement and protest for civic conditions, that need intelligent attention. Politics, like charity, begins at home, and so long as the colored brother only arouses himself, before time for national elections, while he sleeps on conditions in the other days, months and years, he will not be a political force to be reckoned with. Real politics is a game and requires both a familiarity with human nature and a long purse to cover expenses. Organizing small groups and endorsing candidates, too early, simply plays into the hands of those who wish to defeat your purposes, for they merely side-step your candidate. It has been done with sad consequences to the Negro. It was done when they endorsed Good old Tom Reed, and again, when they came out for Governor Lowden. Neither was selected. Back in days forgotten, when the South divided over the Populist question and sought the Negroes' vote, the fact that he held balance of power, caused the segregation and discrimination from which we now suffer. Lawyers devised the fiction of "Police Power" and made segregation replace equal rights, while tests for registration of electors were framed to meet the very weaknesses shown by Negroes in their lives as citizens. Now is the time to get your clubs together and discuss a few of the issues which may be affected by political action, because, after all, politics is the hand-maid of economics. And food, clothing and shelter are hard to get without money and money is hard to get without selling goods or services, and machines have taken the places of millions of hands. 1. An idea as how best to assure one's life in its fullness; 2. an organization to advance that idea; 3. numbers to lend strength and finance to the project; 4. then, a man and 5. a slogan to induce others to join with you, about encompasses all the factors of the political game for the intelligent citizen;—by the way, a tax-payer, without a police record, able to read and interpret the Constitution. Let the parade start before mounting the band wagon, otherwise you are merely playing a boy's game. The career of young Joe Louis under the careful training or Jack Blackburn, himself a former fighter of no mean ability, is a modern putting of the age-old question, "How can they learn except they have teachers?" The performance of any human is a compound of what he has and what he may appropriate from his day and generation. Teachers, as Rousseau and Froebel long ago indicated, may follow the nature of the pupil and bring out what is in him. If teachers were capable of doing that, and were respected for so doing, we would have succeeding generations of educated people. The Greeks had such a system, but American business has demanded mass education, and piled up such a burden of pupils upon a teacher that few even hear the "voice of experience" that seeks to guide and direct them. One notices that Joe Louis talks little; that makes him a good pupil, while modern education would have pupils talking even before they have any experience to talk about. Louis evidently hears what he is told, while modern education finds that teachers must have a pick-handle to make a modern pupil hear anything, unless listening to himself or some other pupil talking about what neither understands. Another lesson from Joe Louis is that there seems to be no one telling Blackburn what he must tell Joe, and that differs from American education, in which a long string of people is telling teachers what they must tell children whom the first tellers never see. A third lesson from the skill of the fighter and the relation to his trainer is that he is taught by one who knows from experience what he is teaching, and has it tested in the results in the conduct of his pupil before FOUR D. Bi I I to to Eu sean ad Jo lia had etic nis of m D pres ve D v of p r a t h j h s i l e b a a h s b Joe Louis and Education the world. The American teacher only is supposed to know what someone else says is experience, and the pupil is tested by retelling it on paper, to be later thrown in the waste basket. America needs and must have education, but much that now passes under that name is a waste of public money and precious years when experience might be gathered. Early Americans were educated by the private tutorial system, and wise or rich men use it for their own children today. Real education is possible between teacher and pupil only when one knows and the other learns. WOODSON SPEAKS Three states, Delaware, Georgia and Texas, have made Negro History a part of their curriculum. Cities like Columbia, Birmingham, Dalas, and Tulsa have also taken such action. Delaware has prescribed Negro History for study in the junior high school, and Georgia and Texas for the senior high school. Credit will be allowed for this course just as in the case of any other subject of the curriculum. Teachers and students are required to take the work seriously. Writing about his interest in the Negro History Week celebration beginning the ninth of February, Robert L. Cousins, assistant supervisor of Negro Education in Georgia, says, "We find that it is much better to have a special course for this purpose traither than leaving it to the judgment and thoughtfulness of teachers to bring before their classes' vital facts and figures from time to time. The main drawback to such a course in the high schools has been that very little supplementary reading matter has been available in order to enrich the course." There is a great opportunity for the scholars and teachers of the race. What we have written on the Negro so far has been mainly polemic—books and dissertations which show how to solve the race problem which we have not yet solved because these very persons treat the symptoms of this social disease rather than the disease itself. A Negro is lynched, and we immediately publish a resolution or produce a pamphlet or book in protest; but this does not stop lynching. The Negro is lynched because nobody respects him. The Negro does not respect himself, and the white man has the utmost contempt for him. We get at the root of things, however, when we teach the Negro out of his own background how to respect himself and constrain the white man to respect the Negro because of his creditable past. Slowly this is being done, and only in such fashion can things of an enduring value be accomplished. Schools clubs and study groups desiring to extend their efforts in this sphere are endeavoring especially to secure literature for children. Unfortunately, however, we have left the Negro child without anything to encourage him along the way. At the very cradle he starts with a juvenile literature in which he sees his race as an outcast playing no part in the wide world which gradually unfolds itself to him. As the child grows up parents find it difficult to explain the numerous differences and exceptions and at the same time prevent the child from hating himself and the race to which he belongs. In the "Picture Poetry Book," Gertrude Parthenia McBrown and Lois M. Jones have done a nice job in showing how the things may be worked out from the racial point of view. To their ranks, however, must come scores of teachers to produce the juvenile literature based upon the life and history of the Negro. Arthur H. Fauset has produced a fine work in publishing for children in the fifth grade the story of the Negro in his "For Freedom," but there is much room for other supplementary readers dramatizing the glorious past of the race. We have the opportunity. This task the Negro must perform for himself. Others will never do it for him. They do not understand the Negro. Does the Negro understand himself? Let him learn to do so in heeding the wisdom of the African proverb, "Know thyself better than he who speaks of thee, let to know is bad, not to wish to konw is worse." In view of the action taken by these States by providing for the study of the Negro I wonder what our misguided, highly educated Negroes will do now. Will they hold any印igration meetings to protest against this lowering of the curriculum? Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Chicago do not teach the Negro except as a political, social, and economic problem Negroes trained at these institutions, as a rule, object to approaching the race in any other way. These mis-educated workers, moreover, cannot do otherwise, for the reason that in their education they learned practically nothing about the background of the race; and a teacher cannot give instruction in something about which he is not informed. Some of such teachers try to conceal their ignorance by belittling what they do not know. This brings us to the rockbottom of the whole trouble. The chief difficulty in the teaching of Negro life and history is not that we lack the literature, but that we lack teachers prepared for this work. As soon as we can get into our school's teachers who are sufficiently interested in their own people, learn something about them, these teachers will produce the required literature and work out their curricula accordingly. A head of a college will not demand that one of his instructors offer such a course when this superior knows nothing of its bearing upon other matters. A principal of a school will not hold his teachers responsible for cultivating an appreciation of the Negro background when this administrator himself has no conception of where such a task should begin or end. Slowly, however, we are all learning. Some of the colleges and universities are changing their attitudes in gradually taking up more and more of the history—in trying to account for things as we find them among Negroes of today, for only in the light of such experiences can we live unto a better day. Students attending a few of our colleges have a chance to make a beginning, in this direction; and two or three large summer schools now try to supply this need among teachers who had no such opportunity. when they attended school Our Readers' Opinions Our Readers' Opinions Thankful for traffic lights at city's most dangerous intersection.

Special aid for Virginia Seminary asked by head of alumni association. To the Editor: Once again the Virginia Theological Seminary and College is making its way to the front, thereby to fulfill the purposes for which it was founded. Under the leadership of Dr. W. H. R. Powell, teachers have been performed. Among the recent accomplishments are: The renovation of the buildings and revision of the courses in the College of Liberal Arts, with the purpose in view of meeting state requirements. The work of the college is under the Deanship of Dr. O. Faduma, a graduate of London and Vale Universities. The Theological Department is offering the B.Th. and R.D. Hebrew and Greek have been restored. The former is taught by Dr. M. A. Hunter, Dean of the Theological Department, and the latter is taught by Dean O. Faduma. Instruction in typewriting and music now forms a part of the curriculum—these courses were designed especially for the ministerial students, although emphasis is placed upon religious training for all students. Under the leadership of Professor E. E. Miller, athletics have again become a part of the college programme. Basketball practice started the first of December. President Powell; the Trustee Board, Dr. C. C. Scott, chairman; the Virginia State Baptist Convention. Dr. C. P. Madison, president; the Women's Missionary and Educational Convention, under Mrs. C. E. Jones; other conventions; churches; and loyal supporters throughout the country deserves great praise for keeping the doors of Seminary open during these days of financial agony. A special drive for the Seminary is being fostered by the churches and alum during the month of December in order that the first semester may close without a deficit. The second semester opens February 3, 1936, and greater things are expected for this part of the school year. (REV.) E. H. JACKSON, Vice-President Alumni Association, Lynchburg, Va. Says Heywood Broun is not so hot; used poor excuse to sue newspaper. To the Editor: It seems strange that Heywood Broun sued the Amsterdam News, New York's most popular Negro newspaper. It seems strange that Broun would sue anything or anybody, and least or all a Negro newspaper. The columnist's excuse for taking such action against The News was a poor one. He said it referred to him as a Communist. He has been, called a Communist by every paper in the land, and he paused sued any of them. Personally I never cared so much for Mr. Broun. He has always appeared to me to be more suprer than newspaperman. Even a Heartst is better then a sniper, though neither one is desirable. His admirers say he is clever. But clever men are a dime a dozen. It just happens that the World-Telegram writer is in a better position to exhibit his tricks to the people of the nation. That it hardly behooves any of us, to talk about the rest of us. Broun is not a serious man. A master of the English language and extremely clever at placing words in a row, he is able to write anything and make it look like "the real stuff." That accounts for his army of readers, many of whom are Negroes. The big fellow (he is a giant in size) is especially fond of kidding Negroes and Jews. He can take us out of bondage and into the Promised Land in the most brilliant style—that is, on paper. When a Jew squirms in the clutches of Hitler, it is Broun who runs (with his pen) to the rescue. No Jno Brown is Heywood Broun. Armed only with a pen, the New Yorker actually believes he is freeing oppressed people, and at the same time naving a lot of fun doing it. A clever man this Broun guy. His favorite "game" is ignoring. Recently he went the rounds of Broadway, and, although the smash hits "Porgy and Bass" and "Mullatto" were on display, he just ignored them and discussed two "hits" nobody knew anything about. Both of the above plays deal with Negroes. It seems to be Mr. Broun's idea that the surtest way of freezing the Negro is to destroy the Negro's mouthpieces. And he came darn near destroying one—only he lost the suit. W. JAMES DODSON Other Papers Sav A NEW TURN IN THE HERENDON CASE. St. Louis Post-Dispatch With Superior Judge Hugh M. Dorrey of Atlanta holding Georgia's 70-year-old slave insurrection law unconstitutional, the celebrated case of Angelo Herndon, Communist, convicted under that statute in 1932, is now on its way to the United States Supreme Court in an orderly fashion. Only a few months ago, the Supreme Court refused to take up the case on the grounds that it had not come before the high beach in such a way as to present a substantial. Federal issue. Now that a Georgia Judge has declared the law, "too indefinite" and in violation of due process under the Constitution, the question of constitutionality has been duly raised. The likelihood is that Georgia will appeal the ruling for if the State does not appeal Herndon will be freed from the 18-to-20-year sentence imposed on him for having so-called radical literature in his room. This prospect for settlement is most welcome. The all-too-frequent persecution by local authorities of most individuals like Angelo Herndon for their political and social views is a practice which flies in the face of our traditions. EORAH AND FISH (The Daily Worker) Supporters of William E. Borah's brand of Republican "liberalism" will get a shock from the political front. For the Senator from Idaho has won a new backer in case he runs for the Republican nomination for president. Who? Take a couple of guesses. No, wrong again. It's none other than that arch-rat海军 Hamilton, Fish, the blue-blood with the red-herin taste! Of course, if you've been following the "liberal" Mr. Borah's most recent utterances, you won't be so surprised to see Mr. Fish embrace him with his cold, clammy fin. Particularly that remark of Botah's that he is so strong for the Constitution that were he president he would veto any anti-lynching bill because "that would be unconstitutional". When someone is popular with Ham Fish, it's something to think about, for— Such popularity must be deserved! BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Treasury, and G.P.O., respectively, who used the dance promotion packet for extra change, will now have to look further. When Government recently announced the leasing of the colored Meadow Sample at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, to house overflow employees of the Interstate Commerce Commission, there was weeping and grunting of teeth. A. E. Demaray, acting head of the National Park Service, said that the five-story structure suits the Government's needs perfectly. The literate Negro Federal employee's high technical standing and recognition has been the result of years of hard work and hard lighting by the Negro employee himself. Interested persons may rest assured that so far as the average Negro Federal employee is concerned, Uncle Sam has not an ounce of atrustic blood in his veins. Particularly is this so among foremen section chiefs, and division head. Usually, to make matters difficult, there are always a certain number of white folks' Negroes or Uncle Toms whose attitude constitutes another problem for progressive minded new Negro employees to solve. In everything but the last item, the Government Printing Office, is no exception; but the last item makes all of the difference in the world. There seem to be no Uncle Toms there. There is a spirit of contrarierie among Negro Federal employees which seems to transcend all petty differences. Help Balance The Scales ETHIOPIA ITALY OIL SANCTIONS LEAGUE OF NATIONS CHASE Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Calm Says. By FLOYD J. CALVIN MUSSOLINI ANALIZED "Sawdust Caesar" is the title of a new gook termed by the New York should Tribune book section, as "indictment of Mussolini" the suo-head reads: "George Selden Writes at White Heat, in the Spirit of a Prosecuting Attorney." There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us. We are reminded of this quotation when we see the differences of opinion of two of our columning contemporaries, who like ourselves happen to be G reek letter fraternity men. We have noticed, with some concern, personal note entering into columns written by two exceptionally talented reporters, one a Kappa Alpha Psi man who is employed in the Department of Justice as a stenographer in the office of one of the special assistants to the Attorney General and the other an Omega Psi Phi man who is one of the better law students and a news commentator extraordinary. Arthur Livingston, editor and translator of Rarego's "The Mum and Society" in his review of the 200-page work which is published by harper and Brothers at $3, says: "in this volume George Seldes turns upon Mussolini, the man and the statesman, those same distinguished talents as a journalist that he has exhibited as his studies of the Vatican, the Associated Press and the European press. Mr. Seldes is fearless, trans specific. One may not vote 'guilty' on all the charges that he makes; but the indictment is drawn in terms that are unmistakably clear, the evidence on the various items is specified and the witnesses are named. Perhaps one historian of some future day will be in a position to weigh the various accusations that the journalist makes in our day. That judgment one may very well suspend. For the moment one need only say that Mr. Seldes has done an interesting piece of ork in so industriously compiling the various Mussolini legends and running them down if not to the ultimate at least to some responsible source. If his portrait is one-sided, one may reflect that it is not for the prosecutor to make one defense. If the colors that he uses are designedly of the purest black, that is only a fair rejoinder to the whites; as angelic as they are insipid, in which hosts of propagandists; multitudes of self-seekers and not a few plain ignorants have painted the greatest man of the post-war age.' the outstanding statesman of Europe, 'the man who saved the world from Bolshevism, 'the man who solved the Roman question,' and so on. Mussolini has deserved this valanche of mud." It is our humble opinion that the lot of young writers is hard enough as is without creating undue antagonisms among our own ranks. Our lot is east with Phi Beta Sigma and we would be happy to act as arbiter if we could be of any service. Wallace (State Dept.) Carter and Robert (State Dept.) Greenfield and Arthur (State Dept.) Smith made the headlines last week closely following Thomas (State Dept.) Delaney. Carter and Greenfield were two of the seven Government Employees who were among the first to be called to jury duty, in the November term of the District Supreme Court, under the amendment to District jury law passed at the last Congress. Carter was so impressed by the District Attorney's presentation of facts to the Court that he is seriously contemplating the study of law. Greenfield, who took certain State Department officials seriously when they objected to Nee-messengers serving on the jury (even going so far as to write letters claiming that they were indispensable)—the predjudced—s—, begged to have himself excused at the first recess; he is back at work. Carter at this writing, was still there. Arthur James Smith, who though to my knowledge has not received his B.A. degree, knows more Negro history than Carter G. Woodson and Charles H. Wesley combined know. Mr. Smith, in an interview with a local paper reporter made a statement which is an echo of our sentiments on the subject. Said he: 'After all, the Government does not make the man worthless—if he is so he makes himself worthless. Only about one-tenth of our Negro Federal employees are making some constructive use of their sparcetime. Ask most of these o'd times the functor of the offices they serve and they'll tell you that they don't know.' Mr. Smith also pointed out that there has been in a half century only one colored clerk employed in the State Department—Archibald S. Pinkett, now secretary of the local N.A.A.C.P.—who got in under Philender C. Knox. Mr Smith was in error here, since Eddie Savoy he'd the rating of Clerk at his retirement and the records of the Department will so dicate. The interview was on the whole, however, factual and extremely interesting. Thomas (State Dept.) Delaney, one of the better local baritone soloists, was featured at a recent program of his American Legion Post.

Mrs. Bartholomew, an honor student, is a rare combination of beauty and brains. HERNDON'S COURAGE Some unpleasant things were aid behind. Angelo Herndon's back. Some facetious remarks were made about his going back James A. Cobb, former judge of the Municipal Court, has resumed his law practice. He has offices at 613 F Street, Northwest, Attorney Cobb, who used his influence to try to get us reinstated in the State Department in 1933. All probably be glad to learn that we were recently reinstated through the Government Printing Office with an appreciable increase in salary. We wish to take this occasion to thank Attorney Karl Phillips, who was succeeded by Lawrence Oxley in the Labor Department, Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General and Fred Pryor, personal secretary to Louis McHenry Howe, President Roosevelt's right hand man, for their efforts all along the line in helping us to beat the rap pinned on us by certain official low-lifers in the State Department. A. (Treasury Dept.) Brooks has written us a card telling us that Mr William Davy a former soldier in the 10th Calvary and a Federal employee, wishes to see us in reference to an article to be run in our column.

Three business minded Negro Federal employees, from the State. to Atlanta to face a 25-year sentence on the chain-gang. Unpleasant inuendoes were hurled at the I.L.D. for allowing Hernndon to give himself up rath... than skip bail and let the money posted stay in Georgia. But evidently Hernndon is made of different stuff to what the average intellectual thinks. Maybe he is really courageous; perhaps he is really unafraid of Georgia and all that its antiquated penal system represents. It will be recalled that the day Hernndon showed up at Fulton Tower prison, Governor Talmadge made a speech praising the chang-gang system. It looked bad for a young man to face such a long number of Chistmases wearing a call and chain. But Herndon went back and fought straight through on the fair and square. The result startling, amazing, but not less than a man of young nonn courage and devotion observes. That former Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of prison, is now in Kuux face, should now, as a superior court judge, turn godfather to enlightenment and progress in Georgia, is the straw that breaks the camel's back. This is the surprise act that takes the cake. But progress had to come some time, somewhere, in Georgia. This about-face would have been astonishing coming from anywhere in Georgia. So let us rejoice that even former Governor Dorsey saw the light. What caused him to see the light does not matter. The important thing is: "he seen his duty and done it." PATTERSON IN NEW YORK Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson has come and gone from New York on his first official visit as the third president of Tuskegee, the visit of a Tuskegee president to New York has certain nigh implications, especially a first official basis. Ever since Booker T. Washington was handed the scepter of negro leadership at the Atlanta exposition just before the turn of the present century, the arrival of the president of Tuskegee anywhere was the signal for an avalon. Under Dr. Moton's administration, coming to New York was important. The now president Justus used to tell how much business he had in Wall Street, and he was important in Harlem as director of the Dunbar National Bank. Once he came to New York to hear the Tuskegee choir at Radio City Music Hall, the highest achievement of a Negro school choir on Broadway. Dr. Patterson kept to the "blue-tea" seen in his interview on his arrival by the New York Herald Tribune. He told, in this interview, of the co-operation between Tuskegee and the Federal Government in reclaiming abandoned Alabama farm land, and some of the almost abandoned colored people. He spoke at the silver jubilee dinner of the National Urban League, along with Governor Herbert H. Lehman and others of high note. But in the New York Times, Sunday edition, he wrote an article outlining his views and policies in his new position as Negro educator N. I. Among other things, Dr. Patterson wrote in the Times: "It is to be hoped that in the program of higher education for Negroes, Tuskegee Institute will adminis er its share of the technical program of education." This is improvement. Dr. Washington and Dr. Moton did not stress "higher education." They stressed "normal and industrial." Dr. Patterson did we" in New York. AFRICAN ART "African Negro art is not limited to specimens of powerful distortions associated with savage tribal customs. Examples of the art of Benin, one of black Africa's great civilizations, have been brought to America by Louis Carre, one of France's best known art experts, and arranged in a new exhibition at the Knoeffer Galleries." This from the New York World Telegraph.

Thomas, associate editor of the Tribune, gave an inspiring talk on "Yesterday, To-day and Tomorrow," under the auspices of the Young Civic League of Arlington, a the Methodist church, last Sunday night. "The whole past is behind you at any moment, and the road ahead is generally outlined, but you choose at any moment which direction you will take, just as you choose what you will appropriate out of all about you" said the speaker. He insisted that the older folks must aid the younger to realize the satisfaction of the deep urges within them, and make the church a social meeting place where new families may be safely established. That will lead to enterprises and build any community, he said. Prof. Thomas explained in detail how wealthy people were when they had land in a fair climate, but how poor when they looked upon money as wealth and gave their lives to get it.

The apt attention and vigorous applause of his hearers was evidence of their complete enjoyment of a fine program finely played Mr. Grider proved himself a virile, dynamic player whose interpretations never lack in interest, —a player who gives the most fastidious listener genuine pleasure. He opened his program with the Mendelssohn "Variations Serieuses" followed by the same composer's "Rondo Capriccioso." A Chopin group, which included the B minor "Scherzo" E flat minor Polonaise, and a flat major waltz, and a final group: "Magnolia" by Dett."

"When you buy a can of tomatoes, you do not eat the can, nor the label, but you pay for them and for bringing the whole thing near to your home. If you raise and can tomatoes for yourself, you have containers for another year, and get more tomato juice for the same amount of money," was one of his homely but striking illustrations. "That is why manufacture creates so much roft compared with businesses which merely buy and sell for the money price," the speaker declared in urging our people to make things. The Rev. Mr. Callis is pastor, Miss Evelyn Bullock, president of the club. Impressions of "Porgy and Bess" Given at H. U. At the week's Book Review Tea of Howard women last Wednesday. Misses Cleo Borders and Estelle Britton gave impressions of "Porgy and Bess," and American Folk Ouena, founded on the play, "Porgy" by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward. "The Negro's human emotions are brought to the surface in an amazingly realistic way, and the production is certainly artistic," declared Miss Borders. Mrs Dorothy B. Porter of the University Library staff was guest discussant and Miss Leila Green, chairman of the committee, the presiding officer. School, college, and denomination occupies are now numerous. "The Foundation," published in the interest of Gammon Theological Seminary and Alumni, Atlanta, Ga., is one of the best such published in its class. In the last number appeared President Willis J. King's chancellor on "Christian Experience in the Work of the Minister." Listening to this talk were thirty-three men who were inducted into the first year class, the largest number that has ever enrolled at the beginning of the school year. Also, there was correspondence from Southern Rhodesia, Africa, an article by an African native, and an illuminating address on "The City Mind and Its Significance for Church Work." by Dr. Robert Moten Williams of Washington, D.C. "The Foundation" has one of the best alumni sections, carried in any institutional publication. This department, keeping Gammon in close touch and in full fellowship and fraternity with its graduates and former students, is supplying the human magnetism, without which religious education will languish. Editorially. The Foundation is strong. Trenchant phrase and breath of view, backed by striking sincerity, make the policy one which inspires followers. That is the quality of Gammon and of Gammon's staff. Miss Ida M.

WEAVER BALTIMORE, — Declaring that education, improvement of econo- mic conéstions and a better under- standing between the races, are the only things that will minimize the injustices which the Negro suffers, Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- velt delivered the main address at the Twenty-fifth anniversary cele- bration of the National Urban League, at the Douglass Hgh School,’ in Ba‘timore, Md., Thurs- éay night. ’ Governor Present Speaking before an overflowing auditorium and a platform bedeck- ed with the Governor of Maryland, Harry W. Nice, and the Mayor of Baltimore, Howard W. Jaekson, Mrs, Roosevelt made a strong plea for better opportunities for the Negro, better cooperation between all yaces and a finer America, The Unted States, the First Lady said, has demonstrated to the world that if the differnet races know each other they can live to- gether peacefully, “The fact that we have achieved as much ag We have in the way of understading of each other’ is no reason for feeling that our rela- tionships are so perfect that we need not make them better, “Great injustices and inequali- ties are done to the Negro in this country, but in order to wipe out these injustices and inequalities, we must all work together. Na- turally, those who suffer the most are most sensitive to the injus- ticies and are sensitive to the injus- of the burden of wiping them out.

William Herbert King, assistant chaplain of Hampon Institute, who closed the annual week of Prayer at ‘Howard University, here, on Friday of last week. Seeking to arouse the students from their attiude of “simp'e com- placency” over essential things, he raced the route of the world, and especially America, for the past several years, and pointed out that conditions existing today are the result of the attitude of complac- ency which enveloped the country prior to the depression. He told anew of the influence of capitelistic organization which has brought on the present era of “economic and politcal tragedy, when catastrophe is everywhere a- round us, and unemployment is rampant;” he pointed to the moral distegration of th: young men and women “who made a mess of their delicate emotions during the period Dh. & R.

Commemorates Life of Beajamin Banneker While the corner drug store is handing out next year's almanacs weighed down with patent medi- cine advertisements, and the more reputable ones are coming from the press, the Howard University Library is commemorating the memory of senjamin Banneker, Maryland Negro of the eighteenth century who also published an al- manac, of many pages, and con- taining exhaustless information. Banneker’s reputation went far beyond this, however, the Howard exhibit reminds passersby. He was a mathematician, an. astron- omer and surveyor, and was ap- pointed by George Washington to the commission which laid out the capital city of the nation. Al- though a Freneh major, Charles L’Enfant headed the commission. The final draft which was accept- ed was one on.which Banneker had worked. Banneker was born free in 1732 in what is now Ellicott City, Md., and due to the benevolence of his employers. was enabled to study in the fields, which fitted him for his later work. ee Randall Community Center The Raldall Community Center is collecting new and good dis- carded toys to be distributed to the needy children of the South- west community Christmas.

He crept Eahind the hird ard was A Thought for Christmas With the coming of the Christmas season, we are once again faced with the question as to how much of the Christ- mas legend we can truly believe and have faith in, It is very difficult for a young person to accept that which can- not be proved, even though his father and mother build their lives around it. But the only really important thing for one to remem- ber about the Christmas story is that a long time ago, on Christmas Day, a baby was born in Bethlehem. He grew up to bea man. And His childhood and manhood were filled with a dream—a dream that was so important to Him that le spent His whole life trying to convince other people of its importance, His life and teachings have made people attempt to live better lives, and even now — 1990 years later—His dream still lives on in the hearts and minds of millions of people, His dream has been so important that # great many people have given their lives to its fulfillment. And let us tell you, anything which can influence men to live in harmony and good-will with their companions and to reach up is worth while—be it legend or fact. If the story of the birth of Christ has made you feel that you want your dreams and ideals to be important enough for men to still wish and be eager: to follow 1900 years later, then that is all you need to believe.

The specimens are large and prominent as compired with mosses, ferns or wildflowers, and there aze a num- ber of consviciious characteristics to judge by bark, leaves, fruit and general shape. Meny people, however, have only the most hazy information on this subject. A little study will save any one the embarrassment expe- rienced by the young woman who asked the great naturalist, in a hushed voice: “Oh, professor, what do you sup- pose that old oak would say it it ‘could speak?” “It would probably remark, ‘Iam an elm,’ ” answered the natura‘ist. Beginning with the most obvious trees—almost every one knows the white birch because it stands’ out so strongly with its clean light bark ‘and slender black branches against ‘any landscape. Other birches have the same paper-like bark but are darker in color, The great pale gray, smooth- barked beeches are also easy to identify. In Winter no one can ‘mistake the sycamores, large, wide- ‘spreading fellows whose "upper branches have shed their bark and stand out, snowy white, against the leafless branches of other trees. Tulip-poplars, in addition to their fine straight boles, unbranched for a great distance fro-» the ground, have conspicuous, shield shaped leaves and great, tulip-like green- and-organge white blossoms, some of which remain on the trees in a dried condition after the leaves have fallen. Shag-bark hickory proclaims its identity by the loose, hanging wisps of rough bark which'can be stripped from it with finger and thumb, Sweetgums have a dictinctive leat and are brilliantly red in early Autumn, Most peonle know a ma ple or an oak, but it is more diffi- cult to discern the various varieties of each. ‘The evergreens are a study in themselves and a very interesting one, Among the pines the key lies to a certain extent in the grouping of the needles, The native white pine is the only variety which ear- ries five needles in a, group.

Do you smoke neatly, becomingly, considerately ? Or do you smoke messy, obtru- sively, or carelessly? : Here are a few rules. If it is a date with a brand new beau most likely he will ask you if you smoke. If you do, accept graciously; if you don't smoke, tell him just as graciously, “no ‘thank you. I do not smoke.” That is quite enough. There is absolute!y no need to tell him why you do not’ smoke. He won't be interested. And too, a very polite, considerate and wise question for a well bred girl and man to ask. “Do you mind if I smoke?” If you do smoke the man will light your cigarette be- fore he lights his own, Or may- be he may prefer to take the sul- phur fumes from the match first, Women are becoming very eare- less where they flick their cigar- ette ashes. Ashes belong in the ash tray; and not on a saucer ot on a plate or splashed in a cup or fluttered to the floor. Some wo- men are even careless enough to leave a burning cigarette on the wash bowls in the dressing rooms of public buildings, When you finish smoking be sure you put the cigarette out com- pletely. Do not leave it smould- ering away for there is nothing more offensive than a dying cigar- ette. Men positievly dislike the “gim- me” cigarette girl.

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. The affair is to be a benefit, meant to contribute the first bit of finance toward organization and erection of a boys' club in the section of the city patrolled by the Second Police Precinct. Sponsors are the Central Northwest Civic Association, the Bloomingdale and East Central civic organizations. They are being aided by officers of the police department head by D. D. Pittman, detective sergeant. The eight-round supporting event will be between Myer Rowan of New York and Baby Kid Chocolate of Philadelphia, two of the East's fastest lightweights. Three six-rounders will bring together Ted King and Johnny Hutchinson, Bobby Green and K. O. Clark and Jack Grant and Art Grey, the last named a local boy. The main event will go ten rounds or less Gastanaga To Try For 3-Round K. O. of Joe Louis HAVANA, Cuba. —Isadore Gastanaga, who is scheduled to fight Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, here December 29, said after Friday's fourth-round technical knockout of Paulina Uzcudun in New York, he was going to try to dispose of the Detroit Destroyer in three rounds. pure and simpler You could have locked up those judges and referees and had the cheers of the mutitudes (?) in attendance. As I understand it, disturbing the peace constitutes a disorderly conduct charge sufficient to stand up in court. And if the folks who saw those two fights didn't raise enough h—l (my parents don't like for me to use "hell") to be charged with the old d.c., then I'm a bird of paradise. As for the drunkenness charge, I think it's pretty clear to all that if those judges saw Eley as gaining so much as a draw in that first fight and then winning in that second, then they must have been gazing through beer-laden eyes. Now, Sarge, I'm not altogether certain about the foundation of the last charge I claimed you could trump up, up there tomorrow night. I know that two men striking one another make ink for the police book, but I'm not so sure as to the extent of damage that's necessary. You know, I've seen so many men brought into court limping, heads bandaged, eyes blackened and teeth knocked out, to answer charges of assault against a policeman, that I think on second thought we'd better skip that. Remember now, the fact that "the law" has got something to do with the promotion of that affair up there tomorrow night, might scare off the whole mess. You know you cops have a way of acting as "washer-women" sometimes. And your presence on the job might have a tendency to bring it out "clean." But if it does or if it does not—don't tell 'em I told you. SAM SAYS: Wherein I Turn "Pimp".... Detective Daniel D. Pittman, Second Precinct, Washington, D.C. Dear Friend Copper; I loathe the idea of becoming a "stool-pigeon," because I think you cops ought to have to get out and dig up your own tips and evidences of wrong-doings, especially if the things folks are doing are merely misdemeanors or infractions of adopted social beliefs, such as the various "rackets." I hate like the dickens to even think of "putting somebody in" because they want to take the risk of selling a little "moon" or backing a few "numbers" or decking a crop of "weeds" in order to snatch up some quick and easy money. I can't bear the stench of the lug who makes "connections" for you "dicks" and runs to you spilling over with "info" so that you and your cronies can crack down on the "innocent" lambs of industry. 'Stool-pigeons' and 'pimps' I abhor—and yet I gotta be one today. As much as I hate the idea — I gotta be one, Pitt; I gotta. Tomorrow night up at Fourteenth and W Streets, Northwest, there"s gonna be a fight, and unless there's a mighty big change from what has gone on in the past on similar occasions, there's gonna be plenty of work for you and your blue-coated buddies down the street. The program calls for a boxing show. And two boys, Young Gene Buffalo, of Philadelphia, and Billy Eley, of this city, are supposed to give off the main fireworks. Now, see here, Pitt, these same two boys have met twice before in our native town. And each time there was a "something rotten in Denmark" air about the whole works. (Does limberger cheese come from Denmark, Sarge?) To get to my point, then. If something isn't done to tip-off the folks connected with the giving out of decisions and all that stuff. tomorrow night's gonna be a red letter day for you "bulls." Boy, you're gonna have plenty to write about Thursday morning in court. You know, Pitt, if you guys are on to yourselves, you're gonna be able to make out papers for robbery (first of all), disorderly conduct, drunkenness and assault and battery. But don't tell 'em I told you. All this, of course, is button-holed to you on the presumption that the same thing is gonna happen what happened before. The first two times these same boys fought, it was under Lincoln Athletic Club promotion. And you know one-third of the Lincoln Athletic Club has an interest in the ownership of one of the boys. Well, anyway, the first time, the scrap was called a draw. And it was — it was a draw; the same kind you'd get mixing with John Henry Lewis, sans night-stick, blackjack and pistol. And the second time, Eley, the home-town boy, was declared the winner. And he was—he was the winner; the same kind Natie Brown was when he met Joe Louis in Detroit. Boy, there was robbery, Rowan Battles Chocolate SAM. Paulino Joins Long And Growing List of Brown Bomber's Victims Bounding Basque, Conqueror of Harry Wills, Goes Way Of All Flesh as Joe Louis Lets Loose Knockout Punch; Uzcudun's "Never Floored" Record Upset NEW YORK (Madison Square Garden)—What was supposed to have been a test of the give-and take proclivities of Joe Louis and Paulino Uzcudun, respectively, turned out to be purely a one-man show, with the fact proved that the Brown Bomber "could dish it out, but the Bounding Basque couldn't take it." Uzcudun was most valiant in his efforts to substantiate the age-old saying that "a man may be down, but he's never out," but whereas the heart and mind were strong, the will was weak. LOCAL Y.M.C.A. TO HOLD CAGE PLAY Strong Quints Comprise Floor Loop; Red Caps, News Five Favored Referee Arthur Donovan, white, stopped the fight after Paulino gamely clambered to his feet, dazed, badly battered and obviously in trouble. The technical knockout verdict came after 2 minutes and 32 seconds of the fourth round of fighting. Avenges Wills And the 21-year-old lad who knew hunger and want in the early days of his Alabama childhood had climbed another rung up the ladder of boxing achievement and wealth. As well, Louis had stopped the man who trimmed another Negro, Harry Wills, in the days when the latter was looked upon as the logical contender for the crown worn by Jack Dempsey. Fon three rounds, Louis had fought under wraps. Fear of injuring his million-dollar hands on the iron head or the tough forearms of the burly man from Spain made him more cautious than he was against Carnera, Baer or Levinsky. He didn't hurry. He didn't worry, even when the crowd booed for action. He stalked his foe, who was fighting from a crouch, who kept his chin tucked in, who kept waving his huge forearms in front of his face, and who offered only the top of his head and elbows as targets. Accuracy Gone? He missed three or four sharp punches in those first three rounds, and some of the audience began to wonder if the newly-wed had lost some of that perfect timing and co-ordination. Then came the fourth session. Paulino was close to the ropes. Joe shuffled in, that cold eye of his fixed intently on the man who had come all the way from Spain to prove that the Brown Bomber was a myth and not the killer he had been painted. Joe feinted with his right shoulder. Then he whipped a left hook to the body. The Basque's hands dropped for a second—a fatal second—leaving that steel chin of his wide open for practically the first time in the evening. The Cobra Strikes There was a flash — and Joe Louis had thrown an overhand right with all his snap and power behind it. Bang! Right on the button. The Spaniard toppled over backward, his head crashing against the floor with a noise that could be heard 10 feet. The ring shook from the impact. For three or four seconds Paulino didn't stir. Then his right hand reached out and groped feebly for the lower rope. His fingers closed on the strands and by a mighty effort he pulled himself up until his head pillowed on the same rope, a few inches above the floor. At the count of eight, the Basque, blood spurting from his lips, through which a tooth had gone, and with the claret smeared all over his flattened features, managed to gain his feet. Basque in Trouble Instinctively, not knowing whether he was in the cool shadows of his own Pyrenees or in far-off China, he lurched blindly toward his foe. Joe met him with another right, hurling him into the referee. Utterly helpless and in danger of being seriously injured, Paulino was tottering about when the referee called a halt to the useless slaughter. The act of the official brought the Spaniard out of his mental fog, and his mind told him to keep fighting. He tried to brush past the referee and to reach Joe, who had returned to his own corner. But Paulino's legs betrayed him. He stumbled. By this time his seconds were in the ring, and seizing his arms, they helped him back to his corner. And when his seconds moved their support, Paulino, two minutes after the knockdown, was still out on his feet. He staggered back, and only quick action by one of his seconds kept him upright.

STATE Two Washington Boys Are Among Varsity at Petersburg State Institution PETERSBURG, Va.—Coach Harry R. (Big Jeff) Jefferson, Virginia State College gridiron mentor, announced late last week that 23 men had won their spurs as members of the Orange and Blue eleven during the season just closed. In the group were two Washington, D.C., products, Frank Payne and Henry (Red) Briscoe, the latter a freshman and former star of the Armstrong High School athletic teams. Among the letter men announced were six who have played under their last game for Virginia State College, and they are men who would be hard to replace on anybody's football team. All of them will graduate in June. Captain Graduates They are: Sidney Estes, of Surfolk, Va., quarter back and 1935 captain; Wayland Pool, of Norfolk, Va., end and 1934 captain; John Ross, of Tulsa, Okla., guard; Clarence Fisher, of Warrenton, Va., quarterback; Linwood Graves, of Dante, Va., fullback; and William H.

The Generals will take on the Douglass High School quintet in the initial cage setto of the local scolastic cage season. Prior to that time, practice games may be engaged in by all three of the senior high teams. This, however, is not definite. Tech vs. Dunbar The second game of the association schedule will bring together Armstrong and Dunbar in the first of their traditional series. The Orange and Blue quint will lock horns with the Potts on January 6. Cardozo, the third of the local high schools, will swing into action on January 8, when they take on the Douglas five in Baltimore. At the same time, Armstrong will be meeting the Howard High School cagers of Wilmington, Del., on the latters' court. Howard High was recently re-admitted to the conference after a year's suspension. The Purple and white of Cardozo will be borne into action against its first opponent in the city series on January 10. At that time she will engage Dunbar. A.A.U.

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, 8¼ inches for the broad jump.

State Commission; Meets Bomber in June NEW YORK (ANP)—Refused permission by the New York State Athletic Commission to fight heavy-weight champion James J. Braddock until he disposes of Joe Louis. Max Schmeling Tuesday signed away his chance of ever regaining the crown by agreeing to meet the Brown Bomber in a 15-round bout at the Yankee Stadium next June. Mike Jacobs's Twentieth Century Sporting Club landed the contract. Immediately Joe Foley, of Chicago, promoter of the Louis-Levinsky fight there in August, began negotiation with Jacobs to bring the battle to his city. The bout, no matter where held, is expected to draw boxing's second million dollar gate in a year with each contestant receiving 30 per cent of the net gate and the Hearst Milk fund skimming 10 per cent off the top. Louis agreed not to fight any more before his meeting with Schmeling except the then pending bout with Paulino Uczudun, with Isidor Castanaga in Havana, December 29, and with Charlie Retzlaff in Chicago, January 10. Max gave Jacobs a year's option on his services if he beats Joe Louis is under contract to Jacobs until 1940.

The other school readmitted was Manassas Industrial Institute of Manassas, Virginia.

NINE MINER TEACHERS TO OPEN SEASON IN BALTIMORE Morgan College Is First Foe of Campaign Friday Night BALTIMORE, Md. — Morgan College's varsity basketball team will get its first test of the season, Friday night, when it hosts to Miner Teachers' College, of Washington. In a preliminary the Vocational School will oppose the Douglass Evening High School. The Bears are out to avenge the disastrous season which they had last year. In the past this game has been looked upon by the Morgan followers as a push-over, but due to the splendid record made by Miner College last year, this game is not viewed in that light. After losing to Morgan last year the Miner five defeated the powerful Virginia State Trojans and the C.I.A.A. champions, Howard University Bisons. Both of these teams defeated the Hurtman twice. The Hurt-coached five has practically the same lineup of last season. Otis "Whattman" Troupe is the only man lost to the Bears, Among the newcomers, Warren "Bo" Weaver and Frank "Pickles" Gordon loom as threats to the opponents. Miner Teachers', coached by Harold Martin, formerly of Virginia State College, will strut a veteran team.
