DISTRICT FUND BILL
ACTION EXPECTED
Fiscal Relations Study Not
Expected to Delay Special
Appropriation Measure.

The fiscal relations study regarding
the Federal Governments duty to help
support the National Capital is not ex-
pected by House leaders to have any
effect on the District appropriation bill
for the coming fiscal year. This is quite
well understood and agreed upon by
Chairman Mapes of the Special Com
mittee on Fiscal Study appointed by
Speaker Longworth and by Chairman
Simmons of the House subcommittee
on the District bill.
Congress to Get Estimates.
The estimates Of appropriation for
support Of the District Government, as
recommended by the Budget Bureau,
will be transmitted to Congress early
next week by President Hoover in the
general budget. According to tentative
plans of the House Appropriations
Committee the hearings on the District
budget will start son after January 5.
Chairman Simmons of the District
Appropriations Subcommittee has been
in conference with Chairman Mapes of
the Special Fiscal Committee. He said
today: 1T is very doubtful If the fiscal
relations study will be completed in
time to make any change in the regu-
lar appropriation bill which must be
passed at this session of Congress.
Consideration of their recommended
tions and action upon them will most
likely go over TO the new (Seventy-sec-
ond) Congress.
Analysis Is Favored.
st am heartily in accord with the
intent of Chairman Mapes to have a
thorough and complete analysis of all
arguments and considerations and facts
involved in the fiscal relations problem
so that this much debated matter may
be definitely and fairly settled. 1 agree
with his determination to give a full
opportunity to spokesman for the Dis
tricts interests to present their side
of the case. All that will take much
time and careful study. will be very
glad to help all can, but that is
Mr.. Mapes special Job and l have
plenty of other work At present I am
devoting my attention principally to
the agricultural appropriation bill.
1T Is our duty to get out the District
appropriation bin at this session, and
we will not permit any consideration of
what may develop at the fiscal rela-
tions hearings to interfere with our
regular work When the Mapes Special
Fiscal Committee makes its report, the
House will deal with that, and we
will, of course, give our best advice and
conform with the decision OF the House
The two matters-the regular appro-
priation bill and the fiscal study-are
not interdependent at this time, and
neither will have TO wait on the other"

STAUNToN, VIRGINIA

Rev, A. Hall Whitfield, pastor of
the Augusta st. NJ. E. Church
preached what his members think
was his strongest sermon alst Sun
day Morning. The pastor took for
his text Ethiopia shall stretch forth
its hands" The pastor first began
his sermon by admonishing his hear
ers not to take the inferior COM
plex" that is often directed at our
group, seriuosly, as the Negro was
rich In ancestry. Beginning at the
dawn Of creation Rev. Whitfield
carefully unfolded the history of the
world to show his hearers that every
important man of the biblical age
was of dark extraction.
Tracing very carefully the human
race from the time of Adam to Noah,
and from thence on Rev. Whitfield
traced even Jesus Christ from the
sons of darker people. An unusual
word picture was painted of the
birth of Christ and how the Lord
told the men to flee into Egypt,
which he pointed out was a race of
darker people. Rev. Whitfield declar-
ed that this was done by God, not
only because Egypt was hostile terri
tory, but because He knew He was
sending the Christ to His people who
would protect Him, After reviewing
the history of the life of Christ the
Rev. Whitfield pictured the death
march to Calvary's Hill and showed
that it was a Negro who helped
Christ to bear His cross on that bit
ter day when the sun refused to
shine.
Contrasting the age of the Black
Supremacy OF the black people, he
said that Sodom and Gohhorah were
inhabited by black people. Ninevah
was built by Nimrod, defendant of
Ham. Here he pictured the downfall
of the black folk because they had
forgotten God. But, he shouted that
God still gives Ethiopia hope" and
it will yet stretch forth its hands.
That the Negro simply passed thru
the period of slavery to again know
how to appreciate God and learn the

art of self-government, and chat
some day he would return to his
homeland to claim it. At this point
the pastor likened the efforts of Mar
Gus Garvey to Moses, as a leader
who would lead the sons of Ham.
Rev. Whitfield declared that God
worked wonders in a mysterious way.
Altho it looked as though the white
races had about ravashed Africa of
its great wealth. He dramatically
questioned his audience with the
query: "Who knows but that strip
OF land that causes all white men
sleeping sickness in Africa is but a
way that God is guarding it for
rightful owners, the Negro racer"
He urged the Negro boys and girls to
hold up their heads, as they had a
priceless heritage. The Rev. Whitfield
remarked that if Jesus Christ should
come to the United States today it
Nigh be difficult for him to stop at
the best hotels, and especially would
it be so in Virginia on account of its
