DENTIST TRAPPED BY COPS IN LOVE NEST BALLOU WILL REPORT ON CHARGE Gaskins Says Teachers are Compelled to Pay for Bocas Students Lose Complain that some teachers in the public schools are being compelled to pay for lost books when they are not responsible for their loss, was filed with the Board of Education by Benjamin L. Gaskins, junior member of the board, at its meeting in the Franklin School Building last Wednesday afternoon. Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou was ordered by the Board to investigate the charges and make a full report at the next meeting, set for January 2. The charge was immediately denied by Dr. Ballou, however, who claimed that the only teacher required to pay for lost books last year was one who had lost a large number of books and was required to pay for them by the District Auditor. Dr. Ballou explained that the principals are responsible for all books sent to their schools; that teachers are responsible for all books issued to their class, and that the parents are responsible for all books issued to their children. Guskin contended that he had specific complaints from teachers who allege that they were compelled to pay for books that were lost by students, when the teacher had used due diligence in seeing that the students took good care of (See SCHOOL, Page 16) WARFIELD ASKS 2 DOCTORS, 21 NEW NURSES Twenty-one additional graduate nurses and two more resident physicians, together with additional orderlies and clerks, are needed by Freedman's Hospital in order to bring that institution up to what it should be, according to the annual report filed late this week. The report was drawn up by Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, and forwarded to the Interior Department for consideration. Pointing out that in the past few years, Freedman's has had several buildings added without any increase in personnel, Dr. Warfield stated that these additions are imperative. Patients Need More Care He says that twenty-one additional graduate nurses must be employed so that the patients may be given at least the minimum of required care and the hours of duty for the nurses may be reduced to eight a day, in accordance with maximum standards. He reports that a clerk is urgently needed in the social-service department. Three orderlies are also needed—one for night duty in the male surgical ward, one for service in the new clinical building, and one for the internes' residence and a maid for night duty in the obstetrical ward.

C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1935 Albert Cassell Denies Connection with New H.U.Alumni Magazine MOTHERLESS BABY GIVEN TO 'GRANNY Daughter of Deceased Unwed Mother Gets Home With Grandmother In good health and smiling broadly, the little two-weeks-old baby boy of a 17-year-old unmarried mother who died at Freedmen's Hospital, last week, was released by hospital authorities into the custody of his grandmother, Mrs. Emma Horton, 1714 Johnson Avenue; Northwest; Monday. Terming circulated reports that she did not want to care for the infant as "agressively false." Mrs. Horton told the Tribune "why, that is my own flesh and blood and I intend to care for the baby and raise him as long as God lets me." Mourned Death She mourned the death of her granddaughter, Miss dererica Horton, popular Armstrong High school pansie, who died several days after the birth of the baby at the hospital last week. Miss Horton had been a companion of her granddaughter since the child's early girlhood days. The girl's father deserted her when she was a month-old baby, and her brother died soon after. Since that time she had been raised by her kindly grandmother who now will have to raise her young daughter. Miss Horton was a popular student at Armstrong and well known in local musical circles. She had played and sung in numerous local churches and was well liked by her classmates and friends. She formerly attended Hunt's Home School in Richmond Virginia. Rites Conducted Funeral services for the young girl were conducted from Richardson's Funeral Home, 1704 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, last week, by the Lev. K. W. Brooks, pastor of of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, where she was a member. Burial was in the Rosemont Cemetery. Denies Discrimination At Boston Y.M.C.A BOSTON (ANP) — A mooted question was partially answered here last week when Walter Shaw, associate director of membership of the Huntington Avenue Y.M.C.A, in a letter to Attorney Matthew W. Bullock, gave him definite assurance that no applicant was denied membership at that branch of the organization account of racial extraction. The letter was in reply to a query made by Attorney Bullock before renewing his membership. There is no Negro branch of the Y.M.C.A. in this city, due to the attitude of the Negro citizenry against any form of discrimination. Reports of discrimination at the Huntington Y.M.C.A. led Attorney Bullock to request an answer to these charges before renewing his membership. In reply Mr. Shaw stated: "We admit young men of color to full privilege ue of our membership, which includes the dormitory."

The objection was to be registered with the District Commissioners and the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Tracked Called Menace The grounds on which this request was made was that the revival of the use of the trackage of the Old Chesapeake Beach Railway Company would seriously interfere with the proposal to improve the highways in the Deanwood and Burville sections, and would constitute a menace to school children who have to cross and recross these tracks in their attendance at the Burville School.

TAKE CIVIL SERVICE TEST TUSKEGEE—Forty-five persons took the civil service examination here this week for senior and junior stenographers and typists for existing vacancies in the service. MD. TORCH MURDERER IS GUILTY Alfred Brown Convicted by Jury After 40 Minutes of Deliberation FREDERICK, Md. — A Circuit Court jury, which deliberated only 40 minutes, Tuesday, convicted Alfred Brown, 21-year-old boker, of slaying Manuel Silva Varela, and partially burning the body. Brown was held in the county jail here awaiting sentence. The first-degree murder verdict makes sentence of death or life imprisonment mandatory. The taking of testimony continued until late Monday night and the jury did not receive the case until about midnight. Body Burned Varela, a retired shin's carpenter, of Duba, was slain November 9, during a struggle in his home. Police said his body had been covered with gasoline, placed feet first up a chinney and set afire. Later the partially burned corpse was found on a roadside in Montgomery County. The prosecution placed in evidence Brown's alleged confession, in which he described Varela, a Spaniard, as a "bad man." "He came over with a flat iron and I dodged the blow," the confession stated, "I 'stunk' an ice pick in his chest." Sister Indicted Brown and his sister, Blanche Smith, 18, were indicted separately for the slaying. Chief Judge Hammond Urner and Associate Judges Arthur D. Willard and Charles W. Woodward, comprising the full bench of the sixth judicial circuit, heard the case. The dead man, although a Spaniard, was the step-father of Brown it was said. Brown told police that his step-father had accused William Brown, a friend of the accused with having stolen Silva's clothes. Silva then accused someone of opening his desk and taking a paper showing he owned the 1927 Packard automobile kept on the farm. Brown was then accused of putting glass in Silva's food. Fight Started Brown said, on the night of the murder he was fixing the stove, Silva was pressing a shirt, Suddenly, he ran at his son with the heated flat iron. Brown said, and then pulled a dagger from his pocket. The dagger was held in his right hand and he grabbed an ice pick with his left, according to Brown. Brown then grabbed an iron bar nearby, and the ice pick and stabbed the pick in Silva's chest. He then proceeded in his attempt to burn the body GIRL SLAYER, 15, CLEARED OF MURDER Youngest Person Ever To Face Homicide Charge In District Acquitted The youngest person ever to be tried in the District Supreme Court on a murder charge is Lucy Simms, 15, charged with the fatal shooting of Naomi Johnson, 13, 919 Fourth Street, Northwest, last July 7, was exonerated by a trial jury in the District Supreme Court Thursday.

Argued Over Man Miss Johnson was shot to death following a difference between her and Lucy, presumably over ones Joseph Jackson, said to be Miss Johnson's boy friend. The shooting took place on the street in front of 104 K Street, Northwest. The plenm from Miss Johnson that her life he spared was stilled by the report of the gun, which followed Jackson's alleged command to "shoot her." Immediately after the shooting, the pair fled and were the subject of a wide search conducted by police for several days.

Mrs. Whipps was also released on $300 bond. Case Nolle Prossed When the case was called up in the Police Court last Wednesday, the District Attorney's office reported that the case had been nolle prossed. The arrest of Dr. Washington and Mrs. Whipps came about after the woman's husband had engaged the services of Lee Parnnell and James Baskins, private investigators, to trap his wife in the room with Dr. Washington. Having found the two together in the dentist's apartment, Parnnell and Whipps went to the District Attorney's office for a warrant. According to Whipps, they told that if they would break open the door and catch the pair together, a warrant would be issued for adultery, providing Whipps agreed to pay for the damage done. Went to Apartment In a statement to the Tribune Wednesday afternoon. Whipps said that Dr. Washington entered his apartment on December 8, about 7:30 at night, accompanied by Mrs. Whipps. He said he heard Dr. Washington ask Mrs. Whipps if he could spend the night with her, to which she allegedly replied: "No, darling, I'll spend tomorrow night with you." The next night, according to Whipps, in company with his two investigators, and Louis Dixon returned to the scene of the Washington home. About midnight, according to Whipps, Dr. Washington and Mrs. Whipps drove up in the dentist's car and entered Dr. Washington's apartment. When the lights went out, Whipps told the Tribune, he knocked on the door, and said that he wa a telegraph messenger. When the dentist cracked the door, Whipps said, he (Whipps) together with Pannell, Dixon and Baskins, rushed in, followed by two officers from the Third Precinct. Carried to Precinct. Whipps told the Tribune that Dr. Washington was clad in pajamas and a bathrobe, and that Mrs. Whipps' clothes were laying in a nearby chair.

If one did not know about the shepherds and the wise men, but had John 3:16, his imagination would easily lead him to some mar- velous and impressive scene. “The gospel in one verse,” it hay been called; and it probably has more important words in it than any other sentence in the English lan- guage. Which is the word with greatest meaning? Ts it loved, or gave, or ony, or Son, or whosoever, or ever- lasting, or’ life, or one of the others? At Christmas time we emphasize gave. God could have provided some other way of salvation, He sight have avoided the saerifice which He made in sending Jesus to earth.

HEALTH CAMP Tract of Land Is Near Home School for Colored Children Location of the proposed District health camp for tubercular children on a tract of rolling land of high elevation near the Industrial Home School for Colored Children at Blue Plains, D. C., has been suggested by Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing director of the Tubercular Association. The suggestion has been indorsed by Elwood Street, director of the Board of Public Welfare, and Assistant Engineer Commissioner H. S. Bishop. The land is owned by the Federal Government, and is under the jurisdiction of the National Parks Service. Approval of the Parks Service must be obtained before it could be used for the health camp. The Federal Works Progress Administration has approved a project costing $79,000 for the operation of the camp as a work relief program Another project under consideration, it was learned was to place the health camp in the Chopawomisic Creek area near Quantico, Va. This development is under the State Parks Division of the National Parks Service. Three Civilian Conservation Corps camps are at this site at present. An adequate water supply is available, officials said. The area is about 28 miles from Washington. The Blue Plains program would be located near Bald Eagle Hill. The plan calls for four or five acres, a central dining room and outlying cabins, officials said. John Nolan, Jr., director of planning of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, said his organization is "very sympathetic with the project," but that no definite decision has yet been reached on it. He has been working in close contact with Captain Bishop and Mrs. Grant in surveying the possibilities.

I want to prevail upon him to send one to Ted Housing. white, ace spcrts announcer for the Columbia Broadcasting System. ” ; I want to pay tribute to a guy who so courageously dis- regards the warning “fools enter where ‘angels’ fear to tread.” I want to do homage to a man who, having eyes, sees; having ears, hears, and having ‘guts’ stands up and says, “Crush me, if you will, but 1 mean to think and speak without bias.” It is not my aim to thank him. Nor my desire to ex- press gratification. He has done nothing for me. He has favored no one in whom I have any interest. He has done nothing for which I, nor anyone I know, should be grateful. . But he has done something that required great courage. He has defied his brethern. He has risked becoming an out-rider by a deed which will inevitably be taken as a slap at the Nordic supremacy so proudly flaunted by those by whom he is surrounded. He has adopted the “come what may” attitude which so often spells social doom for those occupied as he is occupied. i ; Husing is a radio announcer. _ His business is to describe sports events for the benefit of a listening audience—one that is not able to watch the progress of the affair with their own eyes. Husing is the “eyes” of those sports lovers who are not fortunate enough to be on the .scene of the competition. Just as your eyes see things differently from others, Hus- ing’s eyes visualize happenings in a wey somewhat dif ferent. There is this, however, about the way Husing sees things. I dare say, most of us agree that the CBS com- mentator is, above ail else, impartial, With him the color of the athlete’s skin is not the most important thing about a game or a race or a boxing match, etc. Our lot, then, when we listen to the description of an event by Husing, is that we see the affair — sitting in our homes — through the eyes of an unbiased white man. Now all of that gets us nowhere. We haven't learned pet, the reason for all this hullagaloo. Ted Husing — without hesitance — placed Oze Sim- mons, the ebonhued University of Iowa gridiron sensation, on his first All-American football team for 1935. Now on the face of things this doesn’t seem to be such a couzageous act. Simmons had been referred to at some- time or other as All-American timber by every important sports writer in the country, prior to the announcment of Husing’s selections. He was a logical candidate, pure and simple. But the fact that a Caucasian-conscious All-American Board (composed wholly of Hearst Newspaper critics), and lily-white daily press syndicates had ignored the colored Haweye star in their first team choices, made Husing’s act stand out like a sore thumb. » It gave close observers the unshakeable conviction that when Husing called a certain major university's football team “putrid” in its gridiron endeavors, that team was everything my “Secretarys Desk Book” (dictionary to you) says “putrid' means. It_also made those same observers feel so much safer in their belief that when Ted called a play that was not exactly in accord with the decision of a certain world series umpire, he was not merely “second-guessing.* Husing gave the thing as it actually appeared to him. And unless I am gravely mistaken, that is exactly what you and I want. His associates, his colleagues. did not see Simmons as one of the four outstanding backs of the recently ended gridiron year. That is, they didn’t so you would notice it. Simmons was just as great a player to them as he was to Ted, but when it came time for them to compare him with members of their own caste, the brown Iowan had to take low. He was a good ball player, but not good enough to be placed above ordinary performers of the other group. Husing and his assistant, Les Quailey, made the radio selection only from among players on the nineteen teams which they saw in action during their broadcasts the past season. These teams, however, included all the important ones in the country except those on the Pacific Coast and in the Southwest. ss In his comment, Ted says Simmons and Shakespeare, Notre Dame, on the first team and Meyer, Army; and La Noue, Nebraska; on the second had to be included, although they are all halfbacks, “because there was no possible choice between them.“ Husing took the risk of being freely criticised by his fellows. He knew he was taking the risk, but that did not affect his vision. Ted “called it as he saw it. . Please page the guy who gives out orchids.

Louis enjoyed a 3-1 advantage votes for first place and a margin of 53 points over W. Lawson Lit- tle, white, golfer, his nearest rival. In third place was another _memker of Louis's race, James Cleveland (Jesse) Owens, Ohio State track and field tuminary. Is First Boxer Acclamation of Louis as th> country’s most outstanding athlete marked the the first t'me im the comparatively brief history of toe balloting that a pugilist has ever stood high in the rankings. No col- ored man has ever before been the winner of the acclaim. This year's returns also marked the second straight year that Littl: was declared the runner-up in the ranking. The golfing ace finished second to Dizzy Dean, white, base- ball pitcher, last year. Other winners of the award were: Peprer Martin, Gene Sara- zen, Carl Hubbell and Dean, All save Sarazen were baseball play- ers. Sarazen, like Little, is a golf- er. All are white, Considered Remarkable That Louis is not a champion and will not even pet a crack at the heavyweight title of James J. Bradock unti! next September makes his rating as the “athlete of the year” all the more remarkable. Most sport editors and writers contributing their views emphasiz- ed their high rating of Louis was due to his tremendous influence on boxing gate receipts as well as on his sensational knockout record, Several rated him as the “ua- crowned king” of the heavy- weights, while also recognizing Braddock’s victory over Max Baer @s one of the year's greatest com- backs.

Telephone NAtional 7657 GENERALS BEAT ALUMNI AS CAGE PLAY BEGINS Orange and Blue Basketers Have Little Difficulty Disposing of Old Grads The 1935-36 edition of the Armstrong High School Generals opened with cage season with a handy triumph over a team of Alumni stars in the school gymnasium. The score was 37-16. The old grads were never factors in a game which went to the Techites without as little trouble as has ever been the case in one of these engagements. The Orange and Blue varsity counted 14 field goals and 9 fouls while their opponents were scoring only 8 two-pointers. Individual Stars Robinson, with 3 field goals and 2 free tosses, was the principal threat of the winning offensive. His eight points were followed by sixes, counted by Jackson and Patterson. Chappell's three field markers gave him the same number of points in the losers' line-up. General coaches used a total of 14 players in the contest. Included in this number were six forwards, six guards and two centers. The competition is expected to mean a lot in the matter of cutting the squad, a problem faced by the mentors each year shortly after the end of the Christmas recess when the school cage season is officially opened. JOE WELLS STARS AS CAVALIERS DOWN ROMANS Winners in 135-Pound Class Grid Series Play Saturday Joe Wills, diminutive halfback, was the star of the game, Saturday, as the Cavaliers, one of the contending elevens in the 135-pound gridiron series sponsored by the Community Center, defeated the Roman A.C. aggregation, 24-0, on the Anacostia gridiron. Wills made three sensational runs to score as many touchdowns against the Romans who only last week held the Cavaliers to a deadlock in the series opening game. The youngsters sprinted around alternate ends for 25, 25 and 15 yards, respectively, to tally while James Snearman, quarterback, concluded the day's scoring with a touchdown by plunging over from the 2-yard late in the fourth period. The final games in the series are slated or Saturday when the Cavaliers tackle the Willowtree eleven, victors last week, and the Romans and the Trojans will play for a consolation prize. Cowallers .

COWANS BULLETIN The suspension of Joe Louis, Mike Jacobs and Julian Black, the latter manager of Louis, was announced late Thursday by the Cuban Boxing Commission. The action is pending a final decision on what Cuban boxing authorities intend doing to the Bomber for cancellation of the Havana bout with Isidore Gastanaga. The Cuban Commission has a working agreement with the National Boxing Commission which may or may not affect Louis's status in states governed by that body. DETROIT.—Detroit, which apparently had been shut out of Joe Louis's winter schedule, hopped back on board the special Monday afternoon when Mike Jacobs phoned John W Roxborough from New York that the proposed Louis-Gastanaga battle scheduled for Havana, Cuba, December 29, had been cancelled. While Roxborough did not make public Jacobs's reason for canceling the bout, those in the fight circles think that the battle was called off because of the present unrest in Cuba. It was feared by many that the election might provoke an argument which would develop into a skirmish that would embarrass Louis and his party. May Go to Detroit In view of the cancellation, Jacobs thought that the fight could be transferred to Detroit. The tentative date has been set as January 31, and it will be the last fight Joe will engage in before meeting Max Schmeling in June. NASHVILLE, Teenn.—Endorsement of the action of the Amateur Athletic Union in okaving American participation in the Olympic Games in Germany in 1936, was among several important steps taken by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic, Conference in its annual sessions at Fisk University, here last week-end. Want Conference Games A committee was appointed to work out the possibility of the conference holding a championship track and field meet sometime after the Tuskegee Relays in either Cramton Bowl, Montgomery; Legion Fie'd, Birmingham, Atlanta or Columbus, Ga. the Olympia in Detroit, had arranged to have Louis show here sometime in February, but when Schmeling signed to meet Louis, the German had it stipulated in the contracts that Joe would not fight again after meeting Uzcudun, Gastanaga and Retzlaff. The Retzlaff fight is scheduled for January 17, in Chicago. Bomber: Jacobs in Conference Mullens was in Detroit Sunday, leaving Sunday night for New York where he conferred with Jacobs. It was after this conference that Jacobs announced that the Havana fight was off. Jacobs left New York this week for Cuba where he will attempt to induce Gastanaga to come to Detroit and meet Louis. Another angle to the Cuban situation was the belief that it would not draw enough money. Joe and Roxborough returned from New York, Sunday. Louis will attend the Goodfellow boxing show here Friday night and then leave for Chicago (Mrs. Barrow) Wife Meets Joe Mrs. Louis (Mrs. Barrow) was in Detroit to meet the Brown Bomber on his return from the wars. They will spend the Christmas holidays at Manager Julian A. Black's farm near Stephensville, Mich. Telegrams were sent to Bill Bottom, dietician at the camp, and Larry Amadee assistant trainer, who were in New York, telling them to go on to Chicago. Bottoms and Amadee were waiting for the Louis party to return east on their way to Cuba. Louis will open training for his bout with Retzlaff shortly after the first of the year. The Brown Bomber declared that he is in good condition and will not need much training. He was the guest of honor at a dance Monday night. es Approve U.S. es Participation Endorses Action of A.A.U.

This study is to be undertaken with the co-operation of the deans and registrars of member institutions. State Teachers College, Montgomery, Ala., who won the championship in basketball in 1934-1935 and in football in 1935 were certified by the conference. A beautiful trophy will be awarded the 1935 champions by the conference as a symbol of this victory. Discuss Olympics The question of participation of colored athletes in the coming Olympic Games which are to be held in Germany in 1936 came up for a thorough discussion by members of the conference. The following resolution, prepared by a committee composed of Dr. St. Elmo Brady, Fisk University; W. H. Kindle, Talladega College; F. L. Forbes, Morrison College; J. B. Bruge, Florida A., and M. College, and R. S. Darnsby, Tuskegee Institute, was unanimously adopted by the conference: "Whereas, there has been an almost universal controversy as to the advisability of the American athletes participating in such games because of certain acts of segregation alleged to have been committed within the confines of a foreign nation against certain groups of its nationales. "Whereas, our interests are in pure athletics and the promotion of the same among all peoples, regardless of race or color.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1935 ELEY WINNER OVER GENE BUFFALO IN GRUDGE MATCH Washington Ringman Gets Unanimous Decision In Much Discussed Bout By ART CARTER Billy Eley, outstanding Washington welterweight, who won an unpopular decision and an equally unpopular draw in two previous bouts with Young Gene Buffalo, fast swinging Philadelphia fighter, obliterated all doubts about his superiority over the Philly mauler in a 10-round grudge bout at Turner's Arena. Wednesday night. Eley won the unanimous decision of the judges and Referee Muggsy Morris, white, in the main bout of her charity boxing card sponsored by The Central Northwest, B'oomingdale and East Central Civic Associations for the benefit of a proposed local police boys' club. A disappointing crowd of 645 fans paid a total of $734.30 to witness the "rubber" bout between Eley and Buffalo. The boys' club will benefit approximately $150 from the venture when all expenses are discounted. Detective D. D. Pittman, who headed the committee stated. Flash in the Pan According to the writer's score sheet, Eley won six rounds, Buffalo three and one was even. Determined to blot out all traces of inferiority in his ability to outpoint the Philly mitt mauler, Eley opened with a flurry of blows that carried Buffalo to the ropes twice in the first round. He took a comfortable advantage in the first and second sessions but was beaten badly by Buffalo in the third, fourth, and fifth. In the latter three rounds, Young Buffalo cut loose with a series of swinging 'lefts that often found their mark but were as harmious as Aunt Minnie's Sunday punch. Buffalo was superior for these three rounds and opened a cut over Eley's left eye that seemed destined to give the District mauler plenty of trouble. The Philly mauler landed several good blows during the rounds but they had little effect. Elev Rallies Eley came back strongly, taking the seventh, ninth and tenth rounds and having Buffalo almost groggy at the end of the bout. The eighth round was scored as even The bout was rough throughout. Buffalo's was twice booed by the fans in the seventh for hitting in clinches. Rowan Victor A thrilling preliminary card supported the main attraction. In the semi-windup, Meyer Rowan, New York sensation, defeated the flashy Baby Kid Chocolate, Philadelphia, in an 8-rounder. Rowan, the master boxer, outpointed the 137-pound Kid Chocolates easily to win the unanimous vote of the judges. The only knockout of the show was registered by Ted King. Atlantic City, who flaunted Eddie Lewis, another Philly battler, who substituted for Johnny Hutchinson, in the second 6-rounder. King dropped Lewis to the canvas with a left hook to the chin after one minute and 16 seconds of fighting in the opening stanza. Bobby Green, Philadelphia, a prancing little flyweight, rained the judges' decision over K. O. Clark, of Florida, in a fast 6-rounder. In the opening prelim, Jack Grant, New York City, was awarded the decision over Arthur Gray, local heavyweight, after four rounds of mauling. Referee Pete Sawyer stopped the bout and disqualified Gray for foul tactics. ALL STAR ELEVEN TO FACE CHAMPS The Yellowjackets eleven, champions of the Washington Independent Gridiron League for 1935, will battle an all-conference team Sunday. Proceeds of the game will be turned over to the Community Chest, Hiriam Jones, president of the league, announced, Monday. **Line-up** The line-up for the attraction will be as follows: Yellowjackets All-Conference M.Jefferson L.E.

M. C. A, and one chairman of the Race Relations Committee of the Washington Committee on Housing led the dis- cussion, ‘He said “Let us give the Negro vamily a chance. Let us talk vousing for awhile just as we alked disease, delinquency and crime, A_ little. better housing ‘ngtbere ill be a good dent less of these.” Major Johnson continued by ‘raemg, for 100 years, the housing <ifuation as it affected the Ne- . In the earlier years, no con- ideration was given the housing of Negroes in the District, as many vére slaves for whom shacks and hare shelter were thought suffi- vient. When thought was given, vidmy homes for Negroes were in slibys, in back of the main streets. Negpite this, however, he sail, many free persons had by thrift, aefuired comfortable homes in ormient parts of the city, § Two-Thirds In Alleys Bixty-three years ago, two-thirds ‘ots the Negro population lived in alleys, and the agents and owners ufe these houres received higher owfits from their rentals than from homes on the main. streets. Effords have been made for 42 venrs to remove these social can- cers, the breeders of disease and cme, The desire for better hames among. the group had been ro long stifled that it was almost uff accepted theory that there, is contentment with the housing con- difions as they have been, the speaker said. im 1984, Congress passed ldltaw td close the alley dwellings ¢rAt fiat time, there were more tian 19,000 colored and 500 white shants in them.

In the interim, Dr. Wilkinson gathered additional data in support of the request of the citizens’ groups, and submitted that data to Dr. Ballou for presentation to the Board of Education. 493 Lives Endangered Dr Wilkinson's further investi- gation found that 490 children now attending the Burville Schoo! cross an recross daily two sets of tracks at Division Avenue—those of the Chesapeake Beach Railway Company and those of the Capital ‘Transit Company. “It js true that there is no pres- ent menace to school children in crossing the tracks of the Chesa- peake Beach Railway at Division Avenue because the line is not now operating,” Dr. Wilkinson re- ported. “Should the Interstate Commerce Commission, however, grant the request of the East Washington Railway Company for permission to purchase and_oper- ate the trackage of the old Chesa- veake Beach Railway within, the limits of the District of Colum- bia, there would be a real danger to these 493 school children in crossing and recrossing the double line of trackage at Division Ave- nue.

Officials of the civic associations have pointed out that unless the Board of Education file its objec tions to the matter immediately the railway company will have been given permission to operat its line, “If the board, through Dr, Bal Jou, keeps delaying and_sidetrack ing the matter,” one official said “it will soon be too late for then to protest.” NAACP Brands Peace Set- tlement “Robber Proposal” NEW YORK—The peace pro- posal advanced for the settle of the Italian-Ethiopian. war’ branded as “a robber propo warding shameless aggression ae Italy” in a cable sent today League of Nations at Geneva : the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, =e late the members and friends to pay their poll taxes, and to serve as an instructor to « type of ppog- gram which the organization hopes to foster.

"The Lifted Cross" Well Received by Audience By CLARENCE REED One of the season's best dramatic plays made its bow before an appreciative audience in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple Sunday evening The drama, "The Lifted Cross" was presented in two acts and seven scenes. It is the story that opens at the dawn of the reign of Constantine and the twilight of the long years of the persecution of the Christians by the Roman Government at the end of the fourth Century. "The Lifted Cross" is a beautiful, romantic story of a woman of Christian faith who loved a man who was duty bound to take her life. How the man (an ambitious young officer in the Roman army) is converted and the establishment of the reign of Constantine in the Roman Empire was beautifully enacted by the players in this drama. Players Well Received All of the players were given a generous portion of well earned applause during the performance. Emma Brasel as Athenis, Maud Elsberry as Claudia; Raymond Colbert as Ganus; Elvin Sheppard as Marcus, and Irene Broadnick as Bernice, easily took high honors in the play. However, the entire cast was well balanced and the drama well staged. The Cast Included in the cast were such well known players as: Albert Jackson, Emma Brasel, Maude Elsberry, Raymond Colbert, William Brooks, Alvin Sheppard, Harry THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

Youthful Artists Heard In Church Recital The second in the series of miniature concerts for the Autumn-Winter of 1935-36 sponsored by the music committee of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, was held in the Sunday School auditorium of Third Baptist Church, Sunday evening.

The young artists who were heard on Sunday's program included: Mary Frances Brown, dramatic reader; Louise Long, soloist, accompanied by Mazetta Long, pianist; Fannie Jackson and Bertha Dandridge in a duet for soprano and alto voices; Carol Johnson, tenor soloist; Frances Mines and Miss Hemby in a duet and the Christian Endeavor Chorus under the direction of Pettrelenla Holston; Dorothy Robinson Hood, pianist. The young artists were well received. DIREDAWA, Ethiopia (By mail) —Giant ant hills are a continual menace to air pilots landing here, the ;jumping-off" sport for the Southern front toward Harar and Jijiga. Although pilots maintain a force of natives to batter down the hills twice a week, the ants build them up again so rapidly that caution is needed to prevent fast planes from bumping over them with danger of crashing. The planes landing here are those of European and American news correspondents. COMMUNISM (Continued from Page 9) Schools. Criticisms "Unfair" The special committee reported to the Board of Education that the criticism made against the three textbooks and their authors were totally "unfair, unjust, and without foundation." They reported that none of the books criticized by the Citizens' Association either advocated or taught Communism, and recommended that their use in the public schools be continued. The Citizens' Association was bitterly criticized in the report for quoting the full paragraphs. "When taken out of their context, quotations may lead to inferences which the textbook, as a whole, does not warrant," the committee reported with reference to the Rugg texts. "We find no mention of Communism in the textbook, 'An Introduction to American Civilization,' not eves a suggestion of it.

THE MANAGEMENT. can people have lived and now live are not herein associated, even remotely, with the subject of Communism, and we consider criticism of the book on this ground unfair and unjust." In like manner, the committee justified the use of the other two books criticized by the association, and exonerated their authors from any taint of Communism. "The subject matter in a textbook, however, is not the only factor of influence. The way in which the subject matter is presented is of equal importance. We have a corps of teachers in the Washington Public Schools, carefully selected for their specialized training in the proper use and presentation of historical material, by whom these books are interpreted. Teahers Sympathetic "The teachers moreover, are supervised by competent officers. We feel they understand and sympathize with the principles of American history and government and all that our Constitutional ideals signify. We believe they recognize the dangers to this country of Communist propaganda and we expect them to guard against it. "We believe that the Act of Congress of June 14, 1935, is enforced, not only the letter of the law, but its spirit as well, and that Communism is neither taught nor advocated in the public schools of Washington," the report concluded. The committee making the report consisted of Robert A. Maurer, chairman; Mrs. Lenore W. Smith, and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson the former two white. SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 1) the books and retured them at the end of the year. Report on the Jim-crow football game that was played here between the white high schools and the Mexico City High School, was made by the superintendent, who reported that after all expenses had been paid, $56 were turned over to the Boys Club of the Metropolitan Police Department. Charge Segregation Mrs. Mary McNeil and Gaskins, two of the three colored members of the Board, had voted against the game on the grounds that athletes in the colore' high school were barred from participation, and that the funds derived would be used exclusively for the promotion of a boys' club for white children. Dr. Ballou informed the Board that there was an increase in the enrollment in the public schools over that covering the same period last year of 1,518 pupils. A total of 92,759 pupils are enrolled in the public schools of the District at the present date, he said. The Board of Education adopted a motion barring any further public hearings on the controversy of Communism now rampant throughout the District. All future statements concerning the topic to be presented to the Board must be done in writing. The adoption of a report on a change in textbooks, submitted by Dr. Ballou, was objected to by Gaskins on the grounds that he had not given study to the books on the list. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Gaskins contended that he could not approve the list when he did not know what was in the books. Gaskins Refuses to Vote "If I vote for those books and something turns up later about Communism, then we will be blamed for approving them," the Board member claimed. "We don't know anything about algebra, physics, and a lot of other subjects," Henry I. Quinn, Board member said; "out we approve the use of the books on the recommendation of the textbook committee and the superintendent whom we charge with the responsibility of recommending for use only those books that are of high calibre. "If something comes up concerning the books, then we hold the superintendent responsible." The board received a letter from Dr. C. Herebrt Marshall, advocate of corporal punishment in the public schools, expressing regret at the publicity given his proposal. Dr. Marshall wrote that he was "sorry that the true picture of the conditions in the colored schools has been denied you because of the statements of some of our high officials who oppose revocation of the corporal punishment ban." He concluded with the hope that if the Board deem it unwise to return to corporal punishment, it "will do something immediately to help relieve the chaotic condition which exists in our public schools." Henry F. Ash, white, writing as a "parent" protested "any thought of attempt on the part of the Board of Education, tolerating, granting; or allowing teachers the privilege of whipping pupils." The proposal received support in a letttr sent the Board by A. U. Blair, white; while James Simpson, also white, telegraphed the Board to obtain the teachers' point of view before reaching any decision respecting corporal punishment, and advising the Board to "penalize students instead of teachers or there will be less control than ever." Furturistic Social Club Hosts at Cocktail Party The Futuristic Social Club held its formal cocktail prom Friday at the Lincoln Colonnade. The hall was decorated very novelly with cocktail glasses being initialed with the letters in each glass to form the name of the club. The lyrics were furnished by the Blue-birds.

Ordinarily those who leave for the holidays plan on re-enrolling in Juanary, March or June. This has been abolished, as President Roosevelt plans to cut the total CCC enrollment to half, or 300,000, in the next six months. No one, according to present plans, will be forced out but those who leave will not be replaced. Il is ex- pected this natural decline in en- roliment will be enough to bring the desited effect.

Say England and France to Mussolini, "Help yourself to 220,000 square miles of African land belonging to another people since time immemorial, and keep out of our already stolen preserves." True, this is twice as much land as now constitutes Italy, and true also is it that such a concession to a robber only acts to make him bolder. But it follows a law as old as civilization: "No backward nation may hold any land needed by an advancing people." The very Bible believed in by the Ethiopians taught it, for "the chosen people" were aided by the God of Battles to conquer those who did not live according to His plans, and to take their lands. It is no wonder, then, that smaller nations tremble and dare to protest this high-handed action by their quandom friends. The howl has become so menacing that the two dominant nations that gave another nation's property so generously have now shifted the responsibility to the League of Nations.

But the injury is done, both in Ethiopia and to the peace of the World, for the dictator sits back in contemplation of the cowardice of his former opponents. Even his credit is greater, and sellers of war supplies rush to place orders, just as money-lenders stand ready to finance any prospective heir once the will has been read. Mussolini would not be human and the egotist he has proven, did he not ask and receive more, and still more. There is but one lesson from this and all history, and that is, "Learn or perish!" Ignorance is the curse of God, for with all the world from which to learn and with human nature never changing, men who wish to learn what and how to continue to live, may learn, just as the Japanese have learned, how an island people may become an empire in response to the pressure of population.

Woodson. This work undertakes to serve two purposes. It gives a brief history of the Negro in Africa, and it actually outlines courses in the study of the Negro in Africa, Europe and America. Among these courses outlined in detail are, "The Negro in Africa." "The Negro in the European Mind." "The Negro in America." "The Negro in Literature." "The Education of the Negro." "The Religious Development of the Negro." Along with each heading and sub-heading appear bibliographical footnotes and comments. 416 pages. $3.25 by mail.

Ernest Work. This is a study of European diplomacy as it concerns Abyssinia. The work is written with scientific objectivity by a scholarly man who collected his data from the very sources themselves while serving as educational Pressure Always Reacts The problem of communistic doctrine in the Washington schools for white and that of assaults upon teachers in those for colored, are but two phases of one social situation. Both are attacks upon traditional thinking and fixed attitudes. Communism is a borrowed procedure induced by economic evolution. The assaults, like the record for homicides and criminal assaults by colored prisoners, are a similar reaction on a lower culture-intellectual level. Both are due to oppression psychosis. All revolts are first physical, then wordy, then intellectual; children kick and bite, then call names, and at adolescence justify themselves in terms of their crowd. Restraints in society—religious, economic, legal, political are imposed by older folks seeking security and bound by habits and unwilling to see a changed status. Unfortunately, those in authority are too hard-pressed themselves to think situations all the way to causes, hence a formula is sought to satisfy the most vocal and persistent. But anyone experienced in actual operation of social institutions knows there is no single formula by which desired results can be brought about. We have substituted science for the philosopher's stone, and beauty parlors for the fountain of youth. People in easy circumstances cannot know how economic pressure falls upon the less fortunate, nor how the dominating political order affects nonwhites over the world. Here and there pressure creates outbursts by natural law, order and subtending social processes; merely taxing too high brings evasion, smuggling and then revolt. Former U. S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. William T. Harris, taught "Freedom as final; not an expedient, and its attainment carries its discipline for the individual and for society." What is lacking is respect for that skilled craftsmanship in teaching that works changes in the conduct of pupils. Today, the "organization" claims the loyalty, and teachers are but "employees"; so it is with capital and commoners. For the past three weeks the colored press, and to some extent the white press as well, has been lambasting Senator William E. Borah for his outspoken opposition to the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill, on strictly constitutional grounds. Senator Borah ranks as the greatest constitutional lawyer in either house of Congress. His declaration on the floor of the Senate that the pending bill, in his judgement, is unconstitutional perhaps contributed more than any other single agency in the defeat of that ill-fated measure. Walter White, the dynamic Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., deemed it advisable to take Senator Borah to task for this frank expression of opinion. He indulged in the implied threat that the Santor's attitude would defeat his political ambition as an aspirant for the Presidency in the approaching election of 1936. This put the doughty Senator on this mettle, who throw back the challenge with defiance. He not only reiterated his previously expressed position, but added that if by any unexpected good luck he should be elected to the Presidency, he would veto the pending antilynching bill should it come to him with the approval of both houses of Congress. His position is thus made so clear and emphatic that there is no further need for doubt or questioning. One might be disposed to question the wisdom of Mr. White's prodding the Idaho Senator for its constitutional position. But zaal for a righteous cause must justify the wisdom of the methods used in attaining the end in view. Those who bear the brunt of lynching evil as well as those who are obsessed with the enormity and iniquity of its villainy are the enormity and iniquity of its villainy, regardless of the method employed to bring this about. BORAH, SINGLE HANDED, BESIT UFS NEGRO PRISONER William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown were so obsessed with the wickedness and villainy of slavery that they would do away with the evil without the constitution. On the other hand, Senator Borah is a strict constitutionalist; and believes that as a public official, he must live up to the obligation of his oath to uphold the constitution and the law. To his undevoting attitude in this respect, I can freely and frankly testify after 15 years of more or less casual acquaintance with him. I first met Senator Borah in his home in Boise City, Idaho, during the Presidential campaign of 1920. After an interview for more than an hour, I was convinced that in public life he would follow the lead of his conscience regardless of all other considerations. During this interview he recounted an incident of which I had previously heard, of how he, as prosecuting attorney, had single handed, saved a Negro from lynching in his home. He hired an engine and personally conducted the culprit to a near-by town where he was safely lodged against the fury and vengeance of the enraged mob. When the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill was under consideration before the Senate, I called upon Senator Borah and urged his good offices in hebelh of the measure. He then expressed grave doubts as to the constitutionality of the Bill, but assured me that if he could convince himself or be convinced, of the constitutionality of the measure, he would rather vote for it than for any other bill then nending in Congress. On the morning of the day when the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was facing its fate in the Senate, I called up Senator Borah by phone and asked him if he would give me the "low-down" on its chances in the upper House. He advised me that it did not have a ghost of a chance, and that some of the Negroes so-called friends were merely playing politics to delude the race. It is now claimed by the Negro press generally that Senator Borah himself is playing politics with this grave measure. By championing the cause of states rights he undoubtedly ingratiated himself in the favor of the South; but the Southern vote can be of little or no service to him either in securing the Republican nomination or the election if nominated.

The Senator himself does not deem it at all probable that he will be either nominated or elected. But in either contingency, the Negro vote would be a greater political asset to his ambition than the Southern white vote which, it is alleged, he seeks to placate. I think that Senator Borah's consistent record entitles him to the fair and candid judgment that his attitude on the Costigan-Wagner Bill is not dictated by political consideration but by conscientious conviction. It does not seem to me that we get anywhere by condemnation and abuse. The lynching evil will not be stamped out or checked by vehement abuse of those who oppose some particular measure on strictly constitutional grounds. But, alas, it is human nature to denounce and condemn those who disagree with us on any issu in which our interests, feelings and passion are aroused. Righteous indignation is always a dynamic which reacts on the character and determination of those who give vent to it. We are strengthened in the righteousness of our own position when we can villify those who oppose us. We cannot fight unless we are angry. To call one's enemy an ugly name before striking him serves to justify the blow in the mind of the striker. The Negro's impatience with all opposition to anti-lynching measures is understandable, although it may be pathetically ineffectual. How to put an end to lynchings of which murder, kidnapping and lynching are the most outrageous expressions, constitute the greatest task in which American statesmanship can interest itself. The lynching and burning of human bodies at the stake constitutes the greatest blot which stains the American character and sternizes its reputation in the eyes of the world. In the main, the perpetrators are white, the victims are black. The Senator himself does not deem it at all probable that he will be either nominated or elected.

Suppose we advise the N.A.A.C.P. to change its tactics concerning Senator Borah, the oldest, boldest and fortright member of the upper House of Congress. His conviction of the iniquity of lynching is well attested. Instead of denouncing him for a fortright expression of judgment as to the constitutionally of the pending measure, why not urge him to use his great legal talent in devising an anti-lynching bill, which in his judgment, would meet the objections which now stand in the way I think he will agree that he can use his high legal talent to no more patriotic purpose.

The authorities in charge announced that the Community Chest was empty and that there was no more money for relief. They also announced that this was no great tragedy because there weren't any hungry people in Atlanta anyway. To prove it, they also added, that all hungry people could personally present their case to the County Commissioner. A young boy, 19 years old, had been working among Atlanta's unemployed during the spring and summer of 1933. He had been helping them organize their forces against starvation, against being evicted from their homes. The boy's name was Angelo Herndon. On the very next day after the announcement, a leaflet appeared on the streets of Atlanta, calling on all those who were hungry to come together to call on the officials at an appointed time. When the day came more than a thousand persons gathered—Negro and white, men, women and children. In peaceful, orderly ranks they marched to the office of the County Commissioner. Mothers carried pale, ragged children in 'their arms. A committee was elected to present their plea to the authorities. On the next day $6,000 was suddenly found in the empty Community Chest and promptly assigned for relief purposes. One week later, Angelo Herndon went to the post office to get his mail. He was seized by two plain clothes men and carried off to jail. His room was illegally broken into and all his belongings, papers, and books were seized without a warrant. He was placed in jail and for eleven days he was held in communicado. He was beaten. He was third degree. But no charges were placed against him. Finally he managed to get in touch with the local International Labor Defense. At the same time Georgia's officials finally decided what they could charge him with. He was indicted before the grand jury on charges of "inciting to insurrection" under the terms of an ancient law dating back to days of slavery. In January, 1933, he was finally brought to trial. The International Labor Defense retained two young Negro attorneys, Ben Davis, Jr., and John Greer of Atlanta, to defend him. In court it developed that the charge was based on literature found in Herndon's room. Assistant Solicitor General Hudson, ranted and raved and demanded Herndon's life for attempting to overthrow the constituted authority of the state of Georgia. Proof? Pamphlets dealing with the Negro problem, urging self determination for the Negro people in the Black Belt, and even a magazine called "Red Book." The defense called in witnesses, to prove that all the literature found in Herndon's room was to be found in every library in the country. These witnesses were professors from Emory University. Their testimony meant nothing to the prosecution and the judge-Lee B. Wyatt. The judge heckled them—asked one of the professors whether he would allow his daughter to marry a Negro. "Thousands Will Take My Place" Herndon was put on the stand. In words that have now become famous all over the world, he spoke to the all-white jury. He told them what he had done, and why he had done it and then he said, "You can do what you will to Angelo Herndon, but there will come thousands of other Angelo Herndons to take his place. You cannot kill the working class." The jury deliberated and brought in a verdict of guillot with a recommendation of mercy. The penalty under the slave insurrection law is death. The jury recommended 18 to 20 years on the Georgia chain-gang. The International Labor Defense appealed the case to the State Supreme Court of Georgia. The virtual death sentence was upheld. But the mass pressure on the court mobilized by the I. L. D. resulted in the setting of bail. The court decided on $15,000 cash—an exorbitant sum. Bail Raised Only twenty-three days was allowed for the raising of the bail, pending appeal to the United States Supreme Court or Angelo Herndon would be sent to the chain gang. In a whirlwind campaign that swept the country, the I. L. D. raised and oversubscribed the bail fund in twenty-three days. Attorney Joseph R.

League Report Irks Liberians are still bitter over the international commission set up by the League of Nations and manned and dominated by a Britisher which accused the government of selling natives and forcing them to work without pay. When the report was published, it not only embarrassed those living here but Liberians abroad. The Kroo rebellian was injected into on August 7, 1934. Angelo Herndon arrived in Pennsylvania Station where he was greeted by thousands of enthusiastic workers—a free man for a time. From that day on until April, 1935, Angelo Herndon toured the country speaking to thousands on street corners, in meeting halls, in churches, explaining to them the true significance of his own case and mobilizing their support for the Scottsboro boys. In April, 1935, the appeal on Herndon's case was heard before the Supreme Court of the United States. It was presented by Whitney North Seymour, retained for that purpose by the I. L. D. The case for Georgia was presented by Walter LeCraw, another assistant solicitor general. With less frenzy than displayed by the Rev. Hudson but just as bitterly, LeCraw screamed that Angelo Herndon had tried to overthrow the State of Georgia and set up in its place a Negro republic. He waved a map showing the Black Belt in the faces of the judges. He showed them a clipping from the Daily Worker. He fumed and raved. On May 20, 1935, the high court handed down its decision—six to three. The majority stated it had no jurisdiction to interfere in the Herndon case. There was some sort of an obscure technicality which tied their hands. The dissenting minority denied the existence of the technicality. In June, 1935, the International Labor Defense obtained a stay of execution from one of the justices. Until October 21 when the court would reconvene after its vacation Broad Petition Campaign From that moment on every effort was strained to broaden the front of Herndon's defenders. A campaign was launched to secure 2,000,000 signatures to a petition to Gov.Talmadge of Georgia, demanding Herndon's freedom and the abolition of the insurrection law, which threatened the lives of eighteen other men and women, Negro and white, in the State of Georgia. The petition campaign was soon endorsed by several outstanding national organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Socialist Party, The Young People's Socialist League, the American Youth Congress, Communist Party, American League Against War and Fascism, League for Industrial Democracy, Church League for Industrial Democracy, Church League for Industrial Democracy, Southern Tenant Farmers' Union and others. In many parts of the country broad united front Herndon defence conferences were called Committees were set up including representatives from all types of Let Us Stop Kidding Ourselves Economics is not the major form of human problems, but is made so by man's animal nature. We create oureconomic problem by multiplying faster than the earth can feed us. Men have always done that. As animals, that is a strong and necessary urge, or mankind would soon die out. Children and youth are the bony of the generations. Without them we might eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow would see the end. The tangle comes when we allow those to breed with no assurances that they will nurture the next generation, or that they may be so trained as to understand what life's game really is. Those people make the great social problem—delinquency, education, relief and the like. The place conditions our problem, hence people born in cold climates must become thrifty or die, while those in warm and fertile places do not have food, clothing and shelter to worry about. Thus dwellers in the North call those of the South backward, and those of the South call those of the North cold and greedy. Still, the North ceases to be attractive and the South becomes too crowded, and both peoples mix their more desperate or adventurous elements of the population. That starts trouble. The ages have witnessed migrations and wars in the Old World, and the future must see them in the New World, unless we work out some system of mutual exchange and co-operation with all the world. Italy and Japan are giving us optical demonstrations today. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL negotiations at Geneva by Britain and the plan, later abandoned, of assistance was also worked out by England. British investigators have arrived and contacted Juah Nimley, rebellious chieftain, without this government's consent. It is known many of Nimley's subjects consider they owe allegiance to the Union Jack instead of to this country's flag. With British interests actually here, it is feared Nimley might be "inspired" to overthrow the present government and set up a British-supported state in its stead. organizations. In New York a Joint Committee for Herndon defense was formed by five defense groups, the International Labor Defense, the League for Industrial Democracy, the General Defense Committee of the I.W.W., the Non-Partisan Labor Defense and the National Committee for Defense of Political Prisoners. Second Hearing Signatures from United States congressmen, mayors, other public officials, famous writers, and trade unionists began to pour in from all parts of the country. Fourteen foreign nations added their voices of protest. On October 15, the United States Supreme Court once more announced when petitioned for a rehearing that it had no jurisdiction in the Herndon case. Herndon was ordered to surrender. A series of protest demonstrations culminating in a mass meeting at Manhattan Opera House on October 23, called by the Joint Committee, mobilized additional effort to free Angelo-Herndon. A united front conference in New York City pledged itself to Herndon "as long as you are in chains, no worker in America can call himself free." On October 29, Angelo Herndon surrendered to Georgia authorities. Unable to wait until they got their hands on him, they had even selected the chain-gang to which they would send him—the worst in the whole state, in swamp-infested Lanier County. But the International Labor Defense and all the organizations involved in the defense, forced a restraining order from the courts, keeping Herndon in Fulton Tower jail until November 12, when a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus was argued. The hearing demanded Herndon's freedom on the grounds that the constitutionality of the law had never been tested in state or federal courts. The protest movement deluged Gov. Talmadge with demands for Herndon's freedom. The signature petitions continued to circulate from hand to hand. And on December 7, Judge Hugh L. Dorsey, of the Fulton County Superior Court, declared the law unconstitutional. United action was crowned with victory. The month and weeks of literally feverish activities resulted in forcing the release of Angelo Herndon. If ever the homely maxim, in unity there is strength, received undisputable truth, if anybody doubts the power of united action—they saw the answer at Pennsylvania Station when Angelo Herndon got off the train, on Sunday, December 8, from Georgia. Race prejudice is another such demonstration here in America. By the doubling back of population upon itself in recent years in America, we have congested places called cities, and the coming of the Negro from the rural sections has introduced him to double competition. He competes with another fellow of his same kind and he competes with all fellows for the opportunity to live. College training is but one way of training for keener competition protest movements are but one way of competing with the other fellow of the other group Segregation intensifies the competition of Negro with Negro, while it adds a drag-weight to the competition with the fellow of the white group. This leads to two divergent attitudes on this subject, and Negroes suffer because those appointed as leaders do not know or refuse to acknowledge the dual game we have to play. Some Negro leaders aim to please the other group and do it by gyping their own, of which they are leaders only by identification with it. Other leaders aim to create race-consciousness in order to exploit the Negro more successfully. Few study the needs of the racial group in terms of its qualities and problems, hence there is division and retarded progress. That white people are naturally prejudiced is shown by their general acceptance of foreigners, yet their diplomatic relations in dealing with them in contrast with the frankness when dealing with each other. That is biologically older than civilization, hence stronger. It is only because of self-interest that prejudice is softened in a dominant group. That Negroes are moving upward in art sports and the the- Second Hearing Unity Won Case atre does not mean any removal of prejudice, but only indicates how, by building his program around his special offering an adapting that to what the other fellow wants, he may get what he wants. So long as the Negro wants what the other fellow wants, he must be prepared to outbid him, or to suffer and squirm and become neurotic from frustration of his wishes, desires and aspirations. Italy and Japan also show that program. It is time to stop being misled by leaders in high places who play one factor of the problem against the other and get us nowhere.

With this information necessarily comes the sad news that the Appomatox Club will not be able to have their dance planned for December 29th. The boys are greatly disappointed. Invites were ready for mailing; many novel features had been arranged and many friends had already purchased the latest in feminine wear for the occasion. On last Wednesday evening the Young People's Club of St. Luke's P.E. Church gave a most enjoyable tacky dance. Costumes of every description—trunk of course—were worn. However, judges leveled from the guests present, thought that Mrs. Thelma Wauls from Arlington, Va., displayed the best costume, Miss Johnson, the second best and Mr. Bernard Fryer, next.

The Blue team of the Deuces, however, reclaimed by taking the Blue team of the team at the Horsepower season. Although several of the other clubs have games yet to play in the first half, the scand- ing of the Aces as the league causes it not momentum. With a total of eight wins and two loss- s, the conference wins for the Red team with no losses, and three wins with two losses for the blue team, no other team can attain the average which is now held by the Aces; that is, during this half of the schedule. The defect of the Aces' Blue Team on Tuesday was largely due to the bidding and play of two particular boards—Boards 4 and 9. Board 5 was played at six diamonds (Aces) by Ransom and Carr (Aces) playing North and South against Baron and Saunders (Deuces). The successful play of the hand hinged upon the capturing of a trump honor. Ransom playing the and, played for the drop of that honor, but found the distribution of opponents' trumps, three and one with the honor in the long hand. The finesse would have made the contract. Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Reid (Deuces), paying the same hand against Heathcock and Edmonston (Aces). Did three no trump, making six trump on the hand, the finesse being taken on the diamond play. Although the Deuces did not arrive at a slam contract, the board proved a loss to the Aces of near- 800 points. Bord 9 was bid by Heathcock and Edmonton (Aces) playing North and South against Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Reid (Ducces) at the diamonds, down two, doubled Mr. Baron and Victor Daly Ducces) bid and made three no runs on the same hand; playing point Ponson and Carr (Aces).

DECEMBER 20. 1985 GOOSE FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS DINNER GOOSE FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS DINNER Probably you served turkey on Thanksgiving, for variety's sake let's serve goose for Christmas dinner. Here is the menu. Chilled cranberry juice or tomato juice—Roast goose with fruit stuffing, brown or giblet gravy, celery, plain or stuffed, olives, jellied Christmas pudding with custard sauce or individual mince tarts with or without a topping of vanilla ice cream, 'emittasse, mints. The Goose Choose a goose by its bill and feet. The bill should be pliable and yellow...the feet yellow and fat. A goose four months old is known as a "green goose" and is unusually served unstuffed. If the goose is older stuff it with a good fruit or sage and onion stuffing. Allow twenty-five minutes to the pound and cook uncovered in a roaster having the oven very hot for the first fifteen minutes. Reduce the heat for the remaining time. Baste regularly and often with some of the fat in the pan. The giblets are large and may be cooked separately until tender, then chopped and used in giblet gravy. (Or add a round steak to the giblets and serve as a delicious meat pie for the following day.) Apple and Raisin Stuffing Six large cooking apples, one half cup water; one and one half cups soft bread crumbs, one and one half cups seedless raisins, one tablespoon melted butter, one teaspoon salt, one third teaspoon pepper, one egg, beaten, and one teaspoon grated lemon rind. Pare and core and quarter apples, then cook with water just until tender. Or core and quarter without paring, then when tender rub through a sieve. Combine and blend with remaining ingredients and when cold use to stuff the goose. The stuffing is also excellent for roast duck. Sage and Onion Stuffing One-third cup butter, one large minced onion about one half cup, one cup chopped celery, two tablespoons chopped parsley, six cups soft bread crumbs, one and one half teaspoons salt, one tablespoon powdered sage. Melt the butter and cook the onion in it gently until tender but not brown. Now, add remaining ingredients and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until brown, adding a little more butter if needed. Cool before using.

Harrison Hits Prelate And Coughlin for Recent Utterances Taking to task Pope Pius of the Catholic Church for his apologetic utterances regarding present efforts at dismemberment of Ethiopia by Italy, and charging Father Coughlin, famous radio preacher, with either dishonesty or crass ignorance regarding conditions in certain parts of this our own country, the Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, branded Premier Benito Mussolini a murderer and disturber of world peace. Also, America was likened unto Pontius Pilate, pretending to wash its hands clean with neutrality laws, protesting the innocence of the victim, while Roman legions again are on the move to enact another crucifixion. Slavery In U.S. "Mussolini's civilizing, Christianizing mission in Ethiopia is a lie," he said, continuing; "for the Italian government itself tolerates slavery in its own colony of Libya. Slavery in one form or another exists in nearly all Africa today—and even in America! And it was even as late as 1928 that the mighty Britain emancipated her slaves in Sierra Leon." This excoration of influences seeking to destroy the independence of this black nation, oldest government on earth, encouched in a bristling sermon delivered to a packed house Monday night at the Shiloh Church, touched briefly upon the origin, geography, religion and character of the Ethiopian people as well as their chances of victory in the present conflict. suggestive in the prophecy that "Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands unto God." Coveted By Whites After tracing the history of the country back to its founder, Cush, son of Ham, 6,280 years B.C., the Rev. Mr. Harrison observed that it has for centuries been coveted by white men for its rich soil, gold and other precious minerals.

Recommendation for Mr. Wright's retirement was submitted to and approved by the Board of Education at its last meeting.

True to the tendencies of outstanding educators, his work has always been dedicated to the cause of youth, the foundation of American civilization. The concept, sponsorship and support to successful culmination of legislation providing three-cent car fare for school children in the District of Columbia, is, without a doubt, his greatest and most known achievement.

Writer Urges Parents and Students to Show Appreciation by Letters formal appeal for the reduced fare, to that historic day, March 10, 1931, when the special rate for school children became effective by Act of Congress, Mr. Wright personally financed the 10-year campaign and fought practically single-handed for the law. All Children Benefit All Children Benefit The value of the measure to the thousands of District school children, colored and white, rich and poor, students of public, private and parochial schools, has been and will be immeasurable. As concrete evidence of the benefit and saving District parents have gotten from the reduced fare, the writer cites the recent financial report which revealed $712,000 or $150,000 annually, had been saved during the four-and-one-half years of the Wright-sponsored law's operation. As a token of appreciation and a tribute to the meritorious citizen, the writer suggests that parents and students who have enjoyed the benefits of the reduced fare, drop a letter of praise to James C. Wright, at his home, 514 T Street, Northwest. Citizens can in no better manner show their deep appreciation for Mr. Wright's laudable interest in the economic welfare of their children. Praised by President Hundreds of glowing tributes have already been received by Mr. Wright.

N. E. Weatherless Public School N. E. Weatherless to Retire from Public Schools January 31 After serving for thirty-five years in the public schools of the District, N. E. Weatherless, head of the Department of Science in the Junior and Senior High Schools, will retire from the system, January 31. His request for retirement was approved by the Board of Education at its meeting last Wednesday. Mr. Weatherless was appointed a teacher of physics in 1899, and was assigned to the old M Street High School. In 1906 he was promoted to the rank of head of the department. Later he served as secretary to the Board of Examiners, Divisions 10-13, serving in that capacity from 1916 to 1924. Department Head In 1924 he was appointed head of the Department of Science in the Junior and Senior High Schools, which position he holds at the present time. As head of the department, Mr. Weatherless was charged with the responsibility of supervising, unifying and standardizing instruc THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE BOOKS Book Report System of Dual ks in Schools erless to Retire from schools January 31 --- Department Head NINE Two Textbooks Criticized Used in White Schools Only, Committee Says BOOKS CRITICIZERS CALLED "UNFAIR" Dual System Violates The Board Orders; To Be Issue at Next Meeting The special committee appointed by the Board of Education to investigate the complaint made by the Federation of Citizens' Associations, that three books in history were in use in the public school system, which taught and advocated Communism, exploded a bombshell when they disclosed that two of the History books criticized, had never been, and are not now, in use in any of the colored schools of the District of Columbia. Riggs' Books Out The report of the committee submitted to the Board of Education, at its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, revealed that "An Introduction to American Civilization," and "Changing Civilizations in the Modern World," by Harold Rugg, were adopted for a limited and special purpose for use by pupils in the Ninth Grade, to whom the ordinary history courses were not well adopted; and for experimental purposes only in the field of industrial history. The books, the committee found, were in use in all high schools in Divisions 1 to 9 (white high), and that "they have never been used in Divisions 10-13 (colored high schools). Now Supplanted Last June, pursuant to a change in the course of study then adopted by the Board of Education, notice was given to all high school principals in Divisions 1 to 9 that the courses in industrial history, in which the two Rugg books had been used, were to be supplanted by a course in Community and Vocational Civics, for which other textbooks were designated. That changes has been brought about gradually is Divisions 1 to 9, during this semester, and at the present time two Rugg books are not in use, the committee reported. Board Rules Ignored The revelation that the white schools had in use text books which were not in use in the colored high schools, was also a revelation that the rules of the Board of Education, which provide that one text book system be in use in the District Schools, and that the white and colored schools shall use the same text books by the same authors, was being violated. The Tribune received a report at the beginning of the committee's investigation, that two of the textbooks were not in use in the colored schools. Upon contacting the Franklin Administration Building, a Tribune reporter was told that all of the high schools were using the books, and that there was no separate text book system in the District Public (See COMMUNISM, Page 16) tion in science in the junior and senior high schools. He took the responsibility of supervision of science instruction just about the time when emphasis was being placed upon the question of scientific training of colored youth in our higher institutions of learning. An Inspirer Recognizing this trend in the education of colored youth, the Department of Science in the senior and junior high schools of Divisions 10-13, under the leadership of Mr. Weatherless, addressed itself to the discovery of boys and girls who manifested interest and aptitude for science and encouraged them to enter higher institutions of learning. In paying tribute to the services rendered by Mr. Weatherless, Dr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, told the Board of Education that Mr. Weatherless' retirement will be a "distinct loss" to the public schools of the District of Columbia.
