DARK DAUGHTER PERSECUT-
ED BY NEAR WHITE FAMILY

~
Washington (CNS }, Catherine
Eden, %, the only darkling in a
cOlor-conscious "near-white'' fam
lily, testified in lunaey court here
Friday that if her mind is IN
sound, her family which has per-
secuted her relentlessly for years
because she twas not white" is
responsible for the condition of
her nerves which may have I'M
balanced her mind.
Miss Eden has been under OBJ
servatIon at Gallinger Hospital
for several weeks. She told the
court that her mother had often
remarked that she was the only
colored child she had. "All of
the other children are more or less
of the caucasian type" she said.
She told the court that her food
at times had a taste foreign to its
natural flavor which led her to
believe that it was poisoned. On
several occasions, she testified
she became violently i'll after
eating the food prepared by her
mother. ro
The court psychiatrist upheld
her testimony to the extent that
she had very evidently been the
subject of a steady course of
systematized persecution by her
family. He testified that three
weeks treatment would make it
possible for her to take her place
IN the community.
On the strength of this treat
ment the petition for permanent
commitment sought by her fam
lily was denied and the court COM
mitted Miss Eden to Gallinger
Hospital for treatment.

HOOVER WITHDRAWS FROM

WHITE APPOINTEE

Washington, tCNS) President
Hoover last week withdrew the
name of b. b. Montgomery as his
appointee to be United States
Marshal for the Northern District
after Montgomery had been APP
proved by the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the Senate and Chairman
Norris of that committee had an
nounceG last week that he was in
favor Of the appointment. Mont
gomery had been recommended by
Lamont Rowlands. lily-white pa
trohage dispenser of the Admin
istration since 1928.
lie was opposed by Mrs. Mary
G. Booze, National Committeewo-
man for the State Of Mississippi,
who charged him with being a lily
white and having insulted Negro
womanhood in public statements ;
and Perry w. Howard, National
Committeeman. Additional pro-
test to his appointment was made
by the NAACP and other civic
groups.
The fight led by Mr.. Howard
and Mrs. Booze, resulted in the
holding up of the confirmation of
the nomination for several execu-
tive sessions Of the Senate, many
of the Senators fearing that an
other Parker case" would be
precipitated. I4i
The significance of the with
drawal by the President of Mont
gomery's name is great, political
observers declare. They point
first, that it indicates the final de-
cision of the President to recogn-
lie the right of the twice duly
elected State Republican organic
alton, headed by Nh. Howard and
Mrs. Booze, to control patronage
in Mississippi in place of Row
lands; and second, that it shows
the President wary of offending
Negro voters on the eve of the
campaign.
